I appreciate your review of the Roku speaker/sub. I have the sound bar pro w/ 4 speakers and the sub and I'm really enjoying an emersive sound when playing movies, haven't tried music yet. Also I have the Klipsch rp 8000f, with the RP 502 surround speakers, 2 pairs of the rp500sa Dolby Atmos and the spl 150w subwoofer with a marantz sr6015 av receiver. When comparing the two there's no comparing but I'm really enjoying my Roku surround system as I write this comment.
They are fine speakers! I was able to enjoy using them as well. Just enjoy using my traditional surround sound system better, as to be expected. Quick question, when connecting two pairs of the wireless speakers to the sound bard what channels do they become? I assume two are rear surrounds, what are the other two?
@@TheFrugalAudiophile The sound bar is the center channel and then you have the front left and right and the rear left and right which makes it a 5.1 surround sound. They do sound alright together. I'm not a audiophile but I enjoy watching movies. Thanks for your input about the Roku and it would be a great idea to get the hold Roku setup for a second room as you mentioned earlier.
Great review but one thing to pay attention, roku streambar or streaming devices are limited to certain sound quality as an output wise, so that's what probably limits the speakers for the sound quality. It's made budget friendly purposes, not the top notch sound quality. Bose or sonos are really the only satisfactory brands when focusing on sound quality on every aspect.
Yes, $330 is a bit steep. Especially considering one could put together a system comprised of a class D amp, budget bookshelf speakers and sub for that or maybe even less; and it would sound better. Having said that, the Roku system is convenient and easy to setup. That will certainly appeal to some people. We likely aren't their target customer. :) Thanks for watching

@@randelldavis578 Interesting! So does the soundbard become your center channel or does it play front L/R also?

Good review Chris!!! They got my attention but all in for $330 bucks thats a stretch for me.Not because of the money but more about the quality.
