4.0 out of 5 stars Awesome Sound! Not so great distance with Remote, February 28, 2008

This review is from: Boston Acoustics TVee Powered Soundbar Speaker System with Wireless Subwoofer (Mist) (Electronics)

I just received this speaker system and it is very impressive. Sound is much better than my stock speakers of my Panasonic 42" PX600U, which was having a vibration problem with certain High Definition discs because I like bass.

I paid a little extra 1 1/2 years ago because the Panasonic HDTV had a pretty decent speaker system as these things go. When I hooked up HD DVD and Blu-ray, my stock speakers seemed as if they were shaking apart in certain scenes having a vibration bass problem. This speaker system cleared that right up, as I can turn down my HDTV speakers and turn up the TVee speaker.

It is not a surround sound system and it doesn't pretend to be. It is perfect for my bedroom. I love being able to adjust the boom boom with the upside down trash can bass speaker. Very cool how it is wireless, except that you need to plug it in to an electrical outlet. It does make a slight hum, but nothing too noisy. And it does automatically shut itself off in a few minutes after your TV shuts down.

Voices seem more clear and equal to the background and special effect noises. I had a heck of a time adjusting my HDTV to get the voices and special effects to behave together.

My only real gripe is that you have to be 6 feet or closer for your remote to work with it, and it can be a time waster if you use both your TV speakers and the TVee system together to get them adjusted just right. There is no on screen programming with the TVee system.

The syncing with your own remote was very easy and I got everything going right away with that. It is pretty cool how the speaker system turns on when you turn on your TV and turns off a few minutes after you shut off your TV.

Ok, maybe one more gripe was the price tag. A little steep I think. You do get the wireless bass speaker and don't have to hook up a wire jungle, which should count for something I suppose. I got everything up and running in less than 10 minutes, which includes the unpacking and syncing the remote. Still, $350 was what I paid as of this review. I'm thinking for $250, I would be sitting a little more pretty, not feeling like I overpaid. Atleast give me some more remote control distance and some on screen programming to synch up the TV and the TVee speakers together.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great solution for the family room!, August 23, 2008

Having a nice 34" Toshiba wide HDTV but the speakers were poor, making it hard to understand some dialog and music was terrible, plus movies just were not a joy to watch. I didn't want to load up the family room with a surround sound system and looking at all the Sound Bar systems by Polk, Yamaha, Bose, Sony, and Boston Accoustics I found this one to be the best choice give its width would fit best on top of my 34" TV, and it didn't have surround sound emulation processing which usually requires the TV and speaker be centered in the room with furniture rearranged. All I wanted was good quality sound from my tv shows, movies, and music videos. This speaker system didn't let me down! 5 minutes it was hooked up. I was able to put the wireless subwoofer in the cabinets underneith the TV so its hidden as well. Music Videos come alive and sound awesome. Movies sound great. TV shows are great. Dialog isn't drowned out by sound effects like they are when ran thru the TV speakers. Being and audiophile nut and having a dedicated movie room upstairs this solution was perfect for the family room tv!

I purchased this product for my in-laws since they don't have a multi-media receiver and the sound from their Samsung LCD HDTV is not great. The set up was simple as advertised, and the sound was great, but the remote wouldn't work past about 4 feet away. Couldn't understand why that was! I went online and found out that this is a common problem as they evidently did not remove a dark red filter from the infrared sensor in front and that limited the range. The fix is fairly simple, just remove the screen and the red filter. That little issue was very annoying to me and my father-in-law who uses this TV the most.
