I notice that the unit starts to lose its amazing sound quality after 70 volume. What is your experience? Thanks.

The cause of this may be that you are expecting to fill too large of an area. What size is the room you are listening in?

No. 100 % approved. Much better thanB&W; Zeppelin that I also have. But do no forget that it is a ipod dock... Overall pretty good!

For mine is I don't hear the sound changing it the same , but it is very loud after 70 volume .you we'll come

Thanks for your question. In general terms, the ear/brain listening system changes perception of tonal balance with volume. Something particular occurs at very low and at very high volumes. While the "70" setting on this piece is an abstract number, an amplifier will get only as loud as it's capacity and then may change tone character and again, metabolically, our hearing changes perceptively at a particular volume. Individual room acoustics also will play a substantial role in what you experience. I hope that helps.

I got mine about 4 weeks ago, I was immediately disappointed but I had to give it a chance, it slowly grew on me and now I really love it. I can hear lots of new dynamics and sounds in most of my music. I think it's a brilliant medium volume personal speaker.

I would agree that the sound quality goes down a bit after about 75 on a complex or bass heavy track, but it is damn loud at 70. I would get complaints in my apt if I listened to it at 60-65 for more than a short period of time and I can be pretty loud here. If you're looking feel the base at a really loud setting, look for a solid 2.1 system, but I think this is a solid choice for clarity, and base up to a modestly, not get kicked out of your apartment volume level and price.

For those who have the 701 already but are thinging about 702. I'd say don't bother. Not an upgrade, at best your moving laterally. Save up a bit longer make a jump to something lme the Audeze lcd 2. That's a very nice upgrade. Save longer jump to lcd 3 now that's not big its huge. But now your looking at Sennheiser hd 800 territory. Nw were talking true audio bliss.

The sound is really poor. One thing I have noticed is that the sound from regular DirecTV channels is much louder than the sound from HDTV channels or the one from the DVD or Blue Ray player. I have everything connected with HDMI cables. I tried also with optical cable with the same results. The volume difference appears also when I listen thru the Home theater. Does anyone know if this is normal?

I have the same problem with my 705. Just bought it too. I'm trying to resolve the problem, but if anyone has insight, that would be great.

I only had mine hooked up for a few minutes. The max volume was actually lower than the TVs max volume. Sent the thing right back.

I'm wondering if anyone who owns the system can tell me how the sound is for regular 2 channel audio. I want this to be an awesome home stereo system as well, and use my apple tv to enjoy itunes through it!

Exact same thing happened to me. I am in the process of shipping it out for repair. The unit is of terrible construction and the electronics flaked. I actually got a sub -woofer and wireless surround speakers for my TV which are 10 times better.

I haven't noticed loss of volume or quality. If there is any it must be very, very small.

Hi i just bought this tv and loved it until I turned down the volume and had the same problem. I am returning it unfortunately but for the price it is a steal :-)

The volume is starting to fade on my unit too...not as drastic as yours.....Definitely going the route of a car stereo unit with Blutooth system in it and go through the car sound system...

I purchased a set recently (June 9th) and you are correct. The quality has gone DOWN. The set I received had one woofer dead. I contemplated returning them, but instead I rebuilt them. I replaced all the drivers with superior units and now they sound great. My advice is don't get these ones if you already have your eyes on different models. These are junk.

I agree with Jerry, if you have the option to send it back do so ASAP. I have had 2 of these units the first one the Subwoofer and Sound Bar would lose link very frequently, and sometimes emit a strange feedback.But could you explain the symptoms you are seeing? Personally I had the best luck with putting the sound bar in pairing mode (Hold input button till flashing) while the sub was unplugged. Once you plug in the sub it may pair automatically otherwise hold the link button until the lights go solid.Note: My second system has worked flawlessly since I unboxed it, solid link and no strange feedback.

The sound is actually pretty good, but I'm still getting a sound bar and wireless base. Since this is a Sony system, can anyone give me Sony model numbers that they like the best and why? My TV is the 550 70". Thanks.

Are you sure that you've installed the unit correctly? Inputs connected to inputs, and outputs connected to outputs? Additionally, have you verified that the impedance switches are set correctly? Lastly, have you removed the volume control, bridges the speaker wires, to eliminate a fault in the cables or speakers? If you've tried all this, and still experience trouble, I'd say it's possible that you may have a faulty unit..

Mine sounds awesome. I couldn't be more please for the price to quality ratio. I've had a few of my fellow players comment on it's good sound. I can't, of course, say what yours might sound like but I'm pleased with mine and have had it for quite a while now ... good luck

I purchased this unit and from the start the sound quality was very poor. The speaker vibrated on low base. I returned the unit for a full refund. I hope you have better luck with your unit. Have a great day.

Hi Mark: I found that there is a bug in my 250 at least (it was refurbished) which makes the volume drop way off if I don't have all the equalizer settings in 'custom' set to EXACTLY FLAT. If you do that and OK it with the checkmark, on mine, suddenly the volume goes up. Sorry no idea what firmware I have.
