Beautiful and unique design
Easy to setup
Great app and functionality
Wide soundstage that fills the room
Music sounds amazing through this
Love the bass adjustability
Price is steep but well worth it, even more so when it's on sale

Might be pricey for some
Slightly heavy, some may not like that
Sometimes I found that dialogue was not as loud as I would have liked, that may be the fault of the movies audio mix as it didn't happen many times
Print on remote is a bit too small
