I bought this to upgrade my cinema 600 bar. What a mistake. It is a downgrade. The sound is horrible and the bar barely functions. Very disappointed in this bar.
WOW! The sound is outstanding, good bass and Treble
I would recommend this to a friend!

Reserved for Hopeful App EQ Updates

I will hold off on a full review until the supposedly promised App updates that will include EQ. Until then, here is my brief thoughts after about a week of use:
NOTE: I added the Surround 3 speakers after the purchase so this will be based on the full 5.1 setup.
I’m upgrading from a Sony 3.1 setup that I was OK with but the wireless failed and the connection to the Sub stopped working properly. The build quality is excellent like most Klipsch products. So, the audio, the first thing I noticed is the very V shaped tuning which makes Bass very rumbly and treble very tinny…almost siblant at high volume and very recessed mids. For me, the potential dealbreaker is how hollow and weak dialogue is…it doesn’t matter what source (AppleTV, PS5, DirecTV). My TV speakers (LG OLED E7P) has much more balanced mid range sounding dialogue that has girth and resonance. The 800 just doesn’t sound very natural to my ears and without the surround speakers I just don’t feel like it is worth the price.
Now, if the App is updated end of Aug, as promised, to include EQ so that I can dial the mids back up (better crossover of mid-bass from the sub?) I think it will be worth the price of entry. If not I’ll have to pay up extra for the Samsung 950A and get the upfiring speakers as well as the much improved dialogue from demos I have heard.
