I bought the Denon SoundBar because I wanted better sound from my new TV and I wanted to eliminate the need for (a) speaker wires all over and (b) a separate audio receiver. I wanted a clean set-up: TV, BluRay Player, SoundBar, and a Sub. The Denon fit the bill nicely at a decent price. I am very happy with the sound. It doesn’t make me think I’m in a 5.1 surround system (I have that in another room of the house) but it is MUCH better than TV sound and every once in a while it convinces me that I do have speakers next to me at my viewing position. Definitely happy with it. I did add a small sub (I bought the Dayton 8 inch for 90 bux) and that definitely helps the low end. I posted a couple pictures too if that helps you judge the size (it’s below a 47-inch LG TV and just behind a Sony BluRay player).
