Panasonic SC-HTE80

Panasonic tackles tepid TV sound with this Bluetooth-equipped speakerboard

Panasonic SC-HTE80

Crisp, lean sound with good features, but a lack of bass weight spells trouble for this compact soundbase

Crisp, clear sound ; Focused, lively delivery ; Easy to use ; Display ; Good variety of connections ; Smart looks ; Compact size and good build quality ; Price

Added much needed sound clarity

This works great for sound in my living room. I didnt want to buy a full surround sound system and this sits under my tv and is perfect for my needs. My only compliant is that it does not come with hdmi cable. I had to go buy it separately to install.
