^ Good stuff Fob. BTW, I think there's a vaping thread on the forum.
Really....did not know that, oops :-[

You didn't derail.  Though that is always fun.  He suggested it for more information I suspect.  There is also a cigar thread!   :)

Good for you guys! With all the money saved, I'm expecting to hear about new trucks/cars/wheelers.  ;D

Overall, highly recommended, easiest way to stop smoking, no pills or parches and relatively cheap.



Congrats...didn't I tell you it would work like a charm?

Cool!  Let me know your impressions as I'm thinking of getting one for the tv upstairs.  Where did you buy it from?

There are many reviews online that would probably serve you guys better than one from me.  At this point in my life, I'm losing some hearing from 20 years of industrial noise.  :'(  They particularly like the sub woofer, which is built like a tank (weighs about 25 lbs).  Overall, it sounds really, really good.  I didn't read a negative review about it prior to purchase, and that was about 10 reviews.  And as the reviews say, the sub woofer is thunderous.  The sound stage is plenty wide for where we use it...our bedroom (20ftX12ft)  So far we are really enjoying it, and it sounds better than other units we've "tested" before.  Buy one..you'll be impressed for what it is.  I think the only sound bar we tested that we liked more was the top of the line Yamaha.  But it was big money in comparison.

I got it from Tepperman's.  They had an electronics sale and I popped in and saw it for $549.  It was the last one.  Regular price was $899.

Nice.  I know how particular you are about your purchases and appreciate your input.  Plus I'm an old geezer losing my hearing too, so there's that. 

I've had the 5.1 surround systems that were mediocre (never spent much money on it) and have for the past few years just gone with a pair of Paradigm Titans and a semi-decent Sony receiver for my tv / movie watching.  I expect to be buying a new TV in the coming months and might look for a sound bar set up to accompany it.
