Vizio M-Series 5.1 (M51a-H6) Review

1 delivers rumble and granular audio controls that we weren’t expecting at this price, earning it our Editors’ Choice award. The Vizio M-Series 5.1 (M51a-H6) system combines a soundbar with a subwoofer and two rear satellites to deliver powerful home theater audio at an affordable price

Quality sound most of the time. Bought the M series 5 channel and was disappointed that there is no easy way to add additional speakers. Love the option to turn up the dialog making it easy to amplify voices. High frequency tones in movies frequently crackle despite quality of input.

Sounds is Great. Keeps turning off.

I purchased it near the end of March and it worked flawlessly for 6 months. in September, it starte...

Good Sound, But Confusing Moments

Easy hook-up, the TV recognized the soundbar immediately and it was only a few adjustments away from reasonable sound. It sounds good but I believe the room is just not feasible for surround sound and I may have to transition to all speakers being in the front. I did watch We Were Soldiers on factor...
