Good. Needs more to be a great all in one solution

Purchased these as part of our clutter reduction, including taking out our large sound bar and sub, following a downsizing move. Very clear voice presentation in music and detailed highs, but the heavily reinforced bass is bit distracting, even 14" from the rear wall, until adjusting the EQ band way down on the app. I wish they had better dispersal and a wider sound stage, but it isn't bad. There are some other niggles that could be addressed and make a large improvement in The Fives as a all-in-one solution. Firstly, the system needs some balance control to allow some room placement flexibility. This would be less apparent if the dispersal was better. Some surround codecs in the HDMI audio processing, controlled by both a remote button and selections in the app, would go a long way toward making these a premium sound bar replacement. During some movie sequences parts of the center channel center channel audio gets pushed back and some of the L/R staging is inconsistent. Sometimes it's spot on then in the next scene its muddled. Granted this is primarily from how the source audio is engineered but many surround codecs can overcome these issues and greatly improve the movie experience.
I would recommend this to a friend!
