Pros: Audioholics measured a listening window within about 1.5dB to 20kHz with only minor directivity ripples, so it sounds accurate and balanced, with wide horizontal dispersion past 50 degrees. HDMI ARC with TV remote control, USB-C, optical, RCA, aux and Bluetooth with AAC cover nearly every source, and the sub out automatically high passes the speakers at 80Hz.
Cons: Bass begins rolling off around 90Hz in ground plane measurements, and the ports get noisy when pushed hard without a subwoofer, so maximum volume is modest on its own. A deep vertical null just below the tweeter axis means it should be placed at or below ear height, and there is no app or phono input.
