Sony HT-XT1 SoundBase speakers (170 watts, NFC, Bluetooth, built-in subwoofer) black Although I have a THX 5.1 sound system, which of course plays out very different strengths, but the Quakers in the flat LED TV this Soundbase surpasses still far! One might think that DTS / AC3 decoding in the box necessary would not, but I was wrong: even a certain space filling these creates Soundbase! The bass / bass range is impressive for this size, even better than many separate subwoofer at Sound Bar with 2.1 and sounds never been so, as if his breath was going out (no flapping, rattling or similar). Even the Bluetooth connection is working without problems or crashes (tested with Android and iOS), to hear the sound through the various improvements even better than me at! Furthermore, is great that the Soundbase noted on which input you set which sound program -. So HDMI eg music, HDMI 2 Movie, etc. The possibility, other sound base via HDMI to the TV and turn off is handy too the volume control by TV remote control works. The automatic standby, which is activated as soon as one reproduces no sound, but could use some longer (now 15 minutes if I'm not mistaken). In addition, you can let 3 HDMI devices connected simultaneously - one is not enough that one can still Upstream an HDMI switch. The optical input I do not use personal way, since I have been there connected my 5.1 system. The behind the front grille halfway hidden display can be operated in two brightness levels and optionally even completely off (incl. The LED, which before / under the front illuminates the exhibition space). So you have no distraction of light near the TV when one should interfere with something like this. The LED shines the way in Bluetooth in blue, in normal operation mode in white.
Conclusion: For me it's the perfect complement to the flat screen TV if it may sound technically "up a gear longer" be, but you want to fire up yet not be "large system". For one or the other, this may even replace a 5.1 system, the sound base does not have to definitely hide!
