Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I am having a very hard time writing this review because the Bose sound bar is perfect for what it is, but I'm not sure that a sound bar is what I wanted to buy. The sound is very crisp and precise - a piano sonata, for example, sounds flawless - speech (especially with dialog mode selected) is very clear and easy to listen to. The volume fills (but does not overpower) a large room. The problem is that I was hoping for at least a small scale version of home theater experience, and this is definitely not that - and I doubt that any sound bar is. There is not even a hint of floor-thumping sub-bass. Set-up was super-easy - both the optical cable to my TV and Bluetooth to my iPhone. A couple other minor negatives are that the optical cable is relatively short and I may need to buy a longer one to get flexibility in positioning the bar, and that there is no output available to add-on a subwoofer if I wanted to do that. I chose this product because of the respected Bose name, and because I have owned several wonderful Bose products over the years. The challenge of choosing a sound bar is made much harder by the huge number of fake 5-star reviews of sound bars - especially Chinese products. Before buying this Bose I bought a $90 Chinese unit with many 5-star reviews that was just junk (and returned it).
