Nice product
Dolby atmos sound great. You can feel the sound of each instrument

Great sound and strong power.
The sound quality is really impressive. Very clear high and mids. You wouldn’t think the speaker gets as loud as it does. Love the way it looks too, fits perfectly on my shelf.

Great sound in small package
Small footprint. Impressive sound for a small speaker. Fills a three car garage amply. Replaced a very old Bose sound machine from the 90’s. Like the connectivity with Amazon Alexa. Looking forward to many years of use while detailing cars.
