Typical Great Bose Sound, A Few Lacking Features
This is a great device to add to a room with a HDTV, but where you don't want to install a full surround sound system. For me, I have a main television with surround sound in the Living Room, but also have a television in the bedroom. I don't want to install a full surround sound system in here, but also don't like the tinny sound of the television's audio. The Bose SOLO is a perfect solution.
The sound is fantastic...just as you would expect from Bose. I was surprised at how much the sounds reflected around the room, sounding exactly like surround sound even though the unit is place beneath my television. I love the audio! What I don't like is that there is no way to connect the audio controls with the television remote, meaning I have to use two remotes. Also, there is no power button on the main unit itself, so you have to use the remote for this purpose. This is typically no problem, except for the fact that this morning the unit would not power on through the remote. I had to unplug it from the back power supply, and plug it back in to turn on. If this happens again I will notate here on Amazon.
