I hesitated between this bar and the model with subwoofer externe.Finalement I chose this model that leaves the possibility of adding a subwoofer later. But the integrated subwoofer is effective and sufficient, I also do not Regrete this choice, and even the board for its quality, and for the fact that it brings a real plus in the pleasure of watching a good movie. For a reasonable fee, you can access the Yamaha quality and surround sound. Easy to install, very good conection, possibility of extension, beautiful line. I have nothing but praise about this material.
