How loud is this soundbar? My living room is large (20ft x 15ft with 9 ft ceilings), what's the largest room you have used this in and how loud does it get?

I honestly don't know the Measurement , but it's a master size style room and it really plays loud , and I was blown away by the power , I think it's 210 watts and I don't know too much about sound systems this being my 2nd one after the Vizio 5.1 but I played Superman Man of Steel and it was very powerful at halfway volume , hope this helps ,Sorry about not knowing the measurment , I would honestly say you'd be fine .

Great question. I haven't measured the output in decibels, but let me describe it this way. I move the speaker into different areas of my condo. In the very large master bedroom, 400 sq. ft, when placed in a corner of the room on a nightstand, I can play music on my iPod at half volume, and listen to it comfortably anywhere in the room. If I crank it up to full volume, the sound is full and vibrant, without distortion, and can also be heard clearly at the farthest reaches of my apartment, in the front hallway, some 40 feet way. In simpler terms, the speaker volume has exceeded my expectations, and I think that for the price and size, the sound quality is excellent, crystal clear at any volume level. I think it would also work well in a very large space, even a dance floor, but I haven't put that to the test. I can honestly say that I am completely satisfied with the product's performance. Hope this helps. Cheers.

Ours is a piece of junk. It clicks off in the middle of movies several times. Looking for a different sound bar since we installed this one. Sorry.

If you have a very large home theater then I would say great. This sub is a monster, I had a 4th of July party which turned into a block party and It never was turned up to full volume. I normally use it in my family room for Karaoke night but I have to turned the bass all the way down or it would be too much. I hope this gives you a general idea.

the question should be how good is the sound on your large tv. i have a samsung 60 smart tv with very good sound. the jbl sound bar provides compatible excellent stereo/surround sound..great for concerts, movies etc. a great bass also. only negative- the remote sucks!

I bought this sound bar and use it on a 65 inch tv and it works great I think it is because they say a sound bar should be as big as the tv you are using

It's ok....nothing.spectacular. I probably wouldn't buy it again honestly. My.tv speakers are almost just as loud. We made a lateral move buying this sound bar

The sound on my Vizio is pretty good. I have three different Vizios and this one sounds the best. I do not have a sound bar on any of them. My wife wants to get a sound bar for her 42 inch Vizio. I would get a Vizio sound bar if i did get one.

If you want a sound bar, it's probably a good choice. It sounds good but doesn't have a huge bass response, so it's less likely to carry. Just keep it turned down to a reasonable level.

Guess this can depend on individual tastes. My soundbar is a bit longer than the front of my tv and it makes no difference to me. I got a great buy on it and am plenty happy with it. If you found a great deal on a slightly larger soundbar, I`d be tempted to buy it over a perfect fit that costs more and is less featured.

Hey thanks for the response. I have not heard the "farting" sound for a while so I guess it went away some how. The sound bar works for my purposes (I live in a small apartment). This is pretty much my first "home theater" sound set up so I do not have much of reference to compare it to but I like it, gets pretty loud.

I think the sound bar depends on the room size. If you are in a small room, you probably don't need much in the way of a sound bar. What I liked about this sound bar is that it has a lot of bass and works really well in very open areas with vaulted ceilings. If you are in a small room with low ceilings, this sound bar might have too much bass for you and you might want to look at some of the other sound bars that are less expensive.

This question was posted over a year ago, but I'll answer: DO NOT buy the sound bar. It is terrible. Very low quality audio, crackles horribly when level nears top range. The television is louder than the sound bar (same crackle) The TV has an optical output, but the bar does not.

Our installer reported that the sound bar is powerful at volume, therefore a solid mount is recommend .. Besides ,, what's $40.00 after $600.00, just do it right the first time, had mine installed with three play 5's, insane TV room with zero issues 9 months later, SONOS ROCKS

I have Vizio 42" full HD tv and the vizio 40" sound bar. Like others have said the size of tv and the sound bar is irrelevant. Just center it under the tv to make it look neat. And the sound bar sounds great my vizio tv can be set to Pcm, Dolby etc. and everything works fine. Especially right now i have trans siberian orchestra DVD playing and it sounds great.

Fairly loud I would would say In a 10x20 room it does a great job. Must bigger than that you should looks at at other options.

Larger sound, but my 10 does just fine in a 20 by 27' room no problems. If you plan on more music than movies get the 15.
