JVC TH-BA1 Soundbar System Review:
Pros:
- Easy create
- Wonderful remote (bumping up dialogue, bass, and so on. is a breeze)
- Exhibit is on front bar, not sub
- Sound good quality

Cons:
- Subwoofer is only OK. Much far superior than just utilizing the tv speakers, but a much cry from a $500+ sub in a very actual 5.1 surround setup. This adds some oomph, but doesn't shake the space or rattle the bones the way a a lot more high-priced sub does.
- It is not as “pretty” as some other people (Sony 100 or Vizio 210), so may not be ideal in the nice living area.
- No HDMI connectivity (not a bad for me but may perhaps be for some)
