I bought this several weeks ago before the 10% Target Circle coupon came out. Even at $150, was worth it though each person's listening preferences are of course different. I paired it up with a 2018 TCL 55R615 using the HDMI ARC and it works great.
For those wondering, I reached out to TCL USA Support asking if my older-model 55R615 would support sending Dolby Atmos to the TCL Alto 8i and was told no. But to my surprise, it says it's receiving Dolby Atmos streams from Roku apps that stream it.
"And last but not least, in addition to getting Dolby Digital Plus from our 3- and 4-Series of TVs using HDMI ARC, our award-winning 5- and 6-Series TVs will pass through, what I will testify to, is the most exciting innovation in home theater since Dolby Stereo: Dolby Atmos! "
Awesome, I've been waiting to pickup a TCL soundbar for my Q825
I've been using a Samsung soundbar that has been great, but it doesn't pair wireless with my TV because TCL has bluetooth locked into their own ecosystem. My house has a plant shelf above my tv that is perfect for a sound bar but I didn't want to have wires coming up from the TV. The one downside to this soundbar is that it's pretty new so there aren't too many reviews on it just yet.
Will pickup tomorrow before work so I can report back on my thoughts since it looks like this deal will be available for a bit

Sadly hdmi input has been broken for weeks on the r615s due to the 9.4 roku update. I'm ready to throw it away.
I have the Alto 7 and the sound is underwhelming to say the least. It's definitely a step up from the built in speakers, but some what tinty sound. I would like to hear from other who get the alto 8i and if it's a worthwhile upgrade.
