At this price, that is inexcusable. This thing smells like it came out of a heavy smokers house.

Provides louder sound and more bass than my tv provides. Bass and treble are nice.

Sits perfectly on my dresser in front of the tv. Fits like a glove inside my ikea tv stand with a 22 shelf. Simple install, sounds beautiful with my visio flatscreen.

The sound is phenomenal. It is really vivid and packs a punch.

When used by blue tooth there was a lag in audio. It is very tinny-sounding, not very loud, and the optical cable cord (provided) did not want to stay in place.
