My husband, Mike, has been talking about a surround sound system for quite some time. My concern was that the area we have is not conducive to large speakers. It just didn’t appeal to me in any way. I like my house to look like a home, not a theater. That is why when I heard about ZVOX Audio, I was intrigued.
ZVOX Audio is an all-in-one TV speakers home theater system. You don’t have the clutter of all the wires and speakers. It is one system… one box so-to-speak. We were sent a ZVOX Z-Base 550 home theater system.
The 550 is a true single-cabinet surround sound system. It doesn’t require anything else – no control console, no separate subwoofer cabinet, no other speakers, no speaker wires. With only one connecting cord and a one-page owner’s manual, it is truly “plug and play.”
It truly was that easy to set up too. We are not blessed with a flat-screen TV so we placed the cabinet system on the top of our large entertainment system. This is nicely made… don’t expect something that will break. This is made of fully-braced MDF, not plastic! What I love about it is that it is hardly noticeable up there. Mike was able to hook the ZVOX Z-Base up with very little difficulty. He simply plugged it into the correct port on the TV, plugged it in, and we were ready to go.
The sound? AMAZING!!! We were in awe of the clear sound coming from our television after the Z-Base was hooked up. Before, when we were in the kitchen (the room off the living room), you would have to turn the volume up so loud to just be able to hear because the sound was so garbled. Now, we can clearly hear the words and sounds coming from the television without deafening ourselves and our kids (only kidding but it seemed that way!). In addition, all music and movies sound great. You will feel like you are sitting in the theater. Pop some popcorn, dim the lights, and you are set!
If you are like me and don’t want the clutter of a standard home theater system, I highly recommend the ZVOX Z-Base systems. They start as low as $199.99. With several options, you are sure to find one that is perfect for your own house. If your husband is anything like mine, this would make a fantastic Christmas gift. He will love to open it up on Christmas morning and have high-quality sound coming out of his television within minutes! Not to forget the ladies… if you love a good movie, this may be the thing you are looking for to make those movie nights even better. If you love the musical shows, you will love to have a ZVOX Audio system!
Be sure to check ZVOX Audio out soon while they have some great prices!!
