 Excellence in its simplicity and execution... December 5, 2007
22 out of 25 found this review helpful
I had TVee up and running in 5 minutes. That's the beauty of this system, it's simplicity. Instead of adding another remote to the fray, the main speaker learns your current remote's volume/mute controls...sweet. Why haven't any other manufacturers thought of that, instead of bundling [not to mention charging extra for] another remote control?
In the world of soundbars, Boston Acoustics has separated themselves from the pack by creating a reasonably priced, excellent sounding, simple system--abstaining from the 'faux' surround sound mantra. Who knew enhanced stereo could sound so good? I've had mine for weeks, and I love it.
Last and definitely not least, let's talk about the WIRELESS SUBWOOFER. Yeah, the wireless subwoofer that is not affected by my wireless network (802.11g), or my cordless phones (5.8GHz). No drops, no clicks, and no hums. Since I plugged it in, I haven't thought about it...until the room rumbles. I have the bass level at 2, and Die Hard 4 sounded amazing!
This system kicks! Put it on your short list--especially if you are dreading running/seeing speaker wires. In my opinion, it's the only contender at this price point.
 Add umph to your TVs Sound without running a bunch of wires December 1, 2007
17 out of 17 found this review helpful
I purchased this unit to add umph to the sound of the Plasma TV I purchased (Panasonic TH-42PZ77U 42" Class 1080p Plasma Flat Panel TV and HDTV). The ability to place the subwoofer in a corner without having to run wires is a blessing. And with the subwoofer in a corner you get a good amount of volume. The sound bar itself sits right on top of the Panasonic 42PZ77U firmly. It was easy for the sound bar to learn my TV's remote controls so that now when I turn on the TV the sound bar and subwoofer turn on simultaneously. Of course the volume on the TV remote also controls the volume of the sound bar and subwoofer. Note that this is not surround sound but it adds a great deal of sound to any TV.
 Just a Speaker February 8, 2008

I was dissapointed with the TVee. Although it wasn't touted as a theater-type system, I expected more. The volume is decent for medium size rooms, but don't expect to be blown away by it's sonics. Treble is practically non-existant. The sub woofer has little, if any kick. It even lacks in sterero seperation. the only good thing I can say about it is that it sounds better than the TV speakers.
 Company is unresponsive to problems May 14, 2008
10 out of 11 found this review helpful
Boston Acoustics is the most unresponsive company I have ever dealt with. The speaker will not change volume unless you hold the remote within 3 feet of it. I have made eight calls to the company and not been able to talk to anyone and they don't return a call. After three days they finally responded to an e-mail. They told me how to take it apart and change the lens over the infrared sensor but warned me that is was a little dangerous.
This apparently is a known problem which they shipped anyway. Because of their lack of response, I am returning it.
Good for What It Is February 25, 2008

I bought the Boston Acoustics TVee Speaker to pair with my Panasonic TH-50PX75U which I put in our bedroom. It's a great no-fuss solution to add full sound without having to run wires everywhere (a must in the bedroom).
The soundbar is a simple and clean design that fits well with the black colored tv. I have it sitting on a shelf right underneath the plasma. From taking it from the box, to setting it up and operating it with the remote took 5 minutes. BA got that part right for sure. Soundwise, it is clear and crisp, and decent bass from the woofer. It's not full surround, so if that it what you are looking for, don't buy this. But for this price range, there isn't anything comparable that gives you a solid upgrade over the small underpowered speakers of a flat panel display. Being able to program your tv remote to control the TVee Speaker is a huge bonus. Mine programmed exactly as the instructions said. That being said, there are two quirks that can be a little annoying:
1. If you manually control the volume using the volume buttons on the soundbar, or use the ones on the tv, the volume could get out of sync with the remote (e.g, the tv thinks the volume is turned down all the way, when it's not on the bar). The easiest way to control for that is to either a) make sure your speakers on the tv are turned off, or b) always use the remote to control volume
2. I find you have to be within a range of 10 feet or so in order for the remote to control the volume of the soundbar. The remote works the tv anywhere I am in the room, but only the soundbar if I am within the 10 ft radius. Since I sit in bed 12 feet away, I have to lean forward to control the volume.
Pros:
- Great look (for the soundbar)
- Solid sound for movies and tv
- wireless sub woofer allows you to hide it easily (needs to be plugged in)
- 100 watts of power, so good for medium sized rooms
- Very easy set up
- Uses your TV remote, so don't have to add another remote to your collection
- Powers on and off with the TV, so don't have to turn something else on
Cons
- Remote quirks (see above for details)
- Subwoofer looks like an upside down trash can (but I hide it under the bed so not a big deal)
Over all, I think it's a solid performer for the class, and a great solution for better sound than the tv for medium rooms. I wouldn't get this for my home theater room, that requires something more powerful and full surround capability.
