nunzo wroteThank you and that’s what I have been hearing! I have gone through a few Samsung sound bars with wireless subs and the sound is horrible. I want to be blown away.The Sonos Arc and coordinating sub is incredible. We have a Samsung frame in the main family room which could have the worst speakers of any tv made and needed a soundbar solution.
fraschusa! I will take a look at B&O today and see what they have. I guess if worst comes to worst. I will keep the sound bar that is up in the family room and splurge a little bit and get a real nice theater sound system for the basement to connect to the new 75in tv down there.MoeTE87 wroteWell crap. I was just taking a serious look at this exact JBL setup as it seems like a great option at that price point. Perfect timing to see this feedback so thank you for that. If I end up buying it will mostly be your faultGot this a few days ago and holy shit, it rumbles, shakes the whole house and sounds amazing! Can't wait to use it during the Super Bowl!

michaelscott21 wroteThankfully this JBL is one of the few that allow me to use my Samsung tv remote to adjust the volume and be able to turn off the tv and sound bar at the same time. So luckily no issues there.Make sure you check the compatibility with your TV if you want to able to control with speakers with your TV remote. I have a Sony HT-XT1 and an LG OLED. The TV needs to connect with Optical first and then switch to HDMI ARC before I can start using the TV remote to control the speakers.
JMcLellan wroteAwesome! It is a great sound bar! I will put it through the test today and on Sunday for the Superbowl. Then I can give a more accurate review on how I feel about it.Well crap.

MoeTE87 wroteI'm glad you are happy with your purchase!Update:
So I have an update about the JBL sound bar.
It is freakin amazing!
This past Friday night, the wife and I watched Maverick and the sound bar sounded fantastic! Dialog was crisp and vivid. The 10" subwoofer provided plenty of low end and mid level rumble and you could feel it!
True test was last night during the Super Bowl. It passed all of the tests and everyone at our party was raving over the JBL. We had the house rocking during the halftime show!
This purchase to me, was well worth the $500 and was 1/3rd of the price of Sonos and Bose. Very happy with the purchase!
JMcLellan wroteHaha! That is awesome and one of my reasons why we needed one too. So the wife went for it and she loves it!I'm glad you are happy with your purchase!
I pulled the trigger on Saturday and picked up the same JBL setup. Made the business case to the wife that we needed the upgraded sound so she could rock out to Usher's halftime performance.....it's funny after we hooked it up we watched the last 30 minutes or so of Maverick to hear how the JBL performed.
I really like what I got for the money. I might just get another one for my garage TV's. But I tell you I'm sure there were some folks at my local Best Buy laughing at me trying to get the box to fit into my car. It was a challenging process for sure....
MoeTE87 wroteI did see the price went back up. Must have been a superbowl week sale price.Haha! That is awesome and one of my reasons why we needed one too. So the wife went for it and she loves it!
That is just too funny! The movie Maverick really puts the soundbar / sub through it's paces and shows you what the JBL can really do! I can't believe you used the movie Maverick as well!
I am sure it was a tight fit in your M2! How did you get the box in there? Fold down the back seats? I was able to lay the box across the back seat of my M340i.
I am happy that you and your wife like it! I do plan on buying another one too. Looks like the price went back up to $600. I am not in a dire need for another one, so when it goes on sale again, I might snatch one up.
