i have had this sound bar for a few months now and i love it. For a small room or a room where you can run wires easily this is perfect. It does a very good job simulating 5 speakers, you actually can hear sound from behind like an actual 5.1 set up. Also on my HDTV i only have one HDMI input but with this system you can hook up 3 things with HDMI, i have my Xbox 360 cable box and PS3 all hooked up with HDMI where before i had to only by cable box with HDMI. the subwoofer is also very powerful, makes action movies really kick with explosions, my family always telling me to turn down. But i would deffently recommend this sound bar to anyone who doesnt want to run wires everywhere or doesnt have the room for a 5.1 system.

I love the simplicity of this speaker system. 2 pieces, 1 speaker cable. 3 HDMI inputs helps, too, since I only have 2 on my TV. It only has on-screen programming with some Sony Tvs, so adjusting the sound is a pain, using the one line LCD in the subwoofer. Factory preset is VERY bass-y.
Occasionally, the system pops and clicks while resolving the signal.
Obviously, this system doesn't sound as good as true surround, but for a small space, it sounds really good.

I tried several 2.1 speaker systems to enhance the sound from our LCD HDTV. The 2.1 speaker systems used the RCA audio output from the TV but I was never satisfied with the quality of the sound, even from the Bose Companion system. I think part of the problem is with the low-level output of the TV's RCA audio connection and for this reason I decided to look for a speaker system that could take advantage of my HDTV's digital optical audio output connection. I also didn't want to have a five-speaker system all around the room and so I focused my search on soundbar-type systems. The Sony HT-CT100, just recently introduced, fit the bill perfectly and comes at a price much lower than the Yamaha and Philips soundbar systems with optical inputs.
The Sony HT-CT100 produces great sound. The speaker bar is very low profile and takes up very little space whether you sit it in front of the TV or hang it on the wall. The subwoofer is large (about the size of a desktop PC) and sits on the floor. The

In today's big-buck HT market, USD300 for a HT system including active sub is a amazing deal! This Sony new product comes with a "sound bar" with three speakers: center, front left, front right channels and a powered sub-woofer.
I bought this system based on my small living space and the budget. The sound of the three front channels are quite good: crispy, clean and clear. No complains whatsoever with the sound bar.
However, I do not like the sound from the powered sub-woofer; it sounds way too boxy to me. The sub-woofer and the amplifiers are housed in 2 different chambers in a wood box made of 0.5" MDF about the size of a PC mid-tower. The sub-woofer is a side-firing, front-ported bass-reflexive design installed in the upper part of the box, and the amps (with all I/O) are at the lower part of the box with a cooling fan.
Since I listen to music thru other systems consisting of Sony SCD-1, Quad FM4, Quad 66 pre-amp, Quad 405-II, Quad 909, Behringer EP1500 power amp and several pair

I got tired of my Onkyo surround sound system with all the speakers, woofer, amp, cables and all the space it took, so I started looking for a single unit sound bar.
Initially, I was dissapointed by the size or the cost of the other units, or the fact they were not HDMI. I tried Soundmatters MAINstage HD Single-speaker TV sound system, but had a bad experience with the vendor. I was sent an "open box" item. But I plugged it in anyways and was dissapointed by the sound. It did not come with an external woofer and the unit definitely needs one. The internal one was not good enough. There was a remakable sound difference when I plugged in an external woofer.
Anyways, I saw this product and it is basically a new product from Sony. To make a long story short, I plugged it in and I was hooked. Sounds great!! Comes with an external woofer that controls everything, takes very little real estate. It took me about 30 minutes to set up and plug everything it. I like it so much that I bought a
