Score 8.0/10
Good points:
A big improvement on the TV sound. Cinema and music settings especially. Wouldn't be without it now.
Bad points:
The subwoofer is NOT wireless. Therefore the product description on the website and on the packaging is misleading. And the surround sound effect may be reduced as the subwoofer's position in the room is limited by its cable.

Philip, Wimborne Gadget lover

Score 8.0/10
Good points:
partially wireless, good sound, easy set up and menu system
Bad points:
Doesn't throw sound far enough towards the rear - should speak to wireless rear speakers, doesn't power down as you think - The TV needs to be totally switched off not just on Stand-by
