Klipsch Cinema 600 vs TCL Alto 8i

But then you also have a spot where you can add a dongle, and that allows you to add two more speakers to the system to actually create a 5.1 channel ...

Earlier this year I bought a TCL 5 series TV. I've tried three different soundbars (TCL Alto 6+, TCL Alto 8i, and now Hisense HS218) and all of them cause lag on my Switch and PS4. I connected all of them via eARC with a brand new HDMI cable so I could control the volume with the Roku remote. Unfortunately when I use the Switch or PS4, there is a delay in when I use the control and when the TV responds

It also has dedicated volume up/down buttons, dedicated subwoofer volume up/down buttons, a play/pause control, and buttons for Night mode (which dials back the bass and limits the dynamics for late night, quieter watching), Dialogue mode (which enhances the dialogue frequency range), and Surround mode (this is a Klipsch listening mode for movies and TV that we’ll discuss in the next section). The remote requires two AA batteries (not included), and superhuman patience to remove the user-unfriendly battery compartment—it’s a smooth surface with no real indentation or grip to move it, but eventually, the entire back of the remote slides off, and once you achieve this, it’s easier to open and close going forward.

Finally, my big screen has the Roku TV built-in and this model is designed to work with my TV. The sound bar will work great for any TV, but if you have one with the Roku TV built-in, then this feature is a must, since set up was so easy - just connect the HDMI cable (included!!!) from the sound bar to the TV, plug in the sound bar, and turn on the TV. The TV instantly recognized that the new sound bar was connected and ran through a quick self-setup. Once connected the sound bar is controlled with the TV remote - it turns on and off automatically when you turn the TV on or off , volume up and down, etc

But when you put them side by side, you see it's quite a fair bit. Difference now on the cinema 400 and actually on the 600 as well, you have the clea...

1 setup with dual subwoofers integrated into the bar, so you don't have to find room for a bulky sub in your living room. Despite its compact design, it's still a versatile soundbar, and it's one of the few bars in this price range with Dolby Atmos support.

The klipsch cinema 600, 800, and 1200 sound bars all have a sub out option that you can hook up an extra sub.

Out-of-the-box, this soundbar has a fairly neutral, though somewhat dark and boomy sound profile due to the extra bass and recessed treble range. As a result, vocals and lead instruments are reproduced pretty clearly, but they can also sound veiled. Fortunately, there's a standard selection of sound enhancement features available to help you customize its sound, including bass and treble adjustments as well as some EQ presets.

Great sound, but the remote control interferes with my tv (e.g. pressing the surround button changes my tv input, or volume up causes netflix to scrub backward) and there is no workaround. Hard to recommend at this price point with this glaring of a bug

Nice system, brought it in July just opened it was waiting to move. No remote in box I asked if a remote came with it was told yes. But it was been a while since I bought it so can't return it. I end up buying a remote

However, it is not the first sound bar i've ever heard or owned, or had experience with so go ahead and subscribe to the channel and smash that like b...

Right now the Multibeam is $200 off in Canada so I want to pick one up. But do many people have any idea if it's good?
