Good deal and it's in stock! I just ordered this from amazon yesterday for 300, but it won't arrive for at least 2 weeks. I had two m51a-h6s and they both died after a few months. Hopefully this model doesn't suffer from the same poor quality control issues 😸

I am honestly surprised you are willing to roll the dice. I have owned hundreds of electronics, new, refurbished, used and not once has one of them died.

Somehow this new more expensive soundbar gets a lesser score on Rtings than an older version m-series soundbar model "M51a-H6" without the upfiring speakers.

Amazon has the same one at 299.88 VIZIO M-Series 5.1.2 Home Theater Sound Bar with Dolby Atmos and DTS:X https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08TV6GJF7/ I was able to price match with Best Buy. May be Walmart can do it as well.

Try price matching with Best Buy. They have in stock. I was able to get them to Amazon price.

From reading the reviews is because the center channel is a downgrade, the audio latency is worse, and the upfiring speakers aren't great. But since they are the same price and the M51a-H6 is hard to find, might be worth to pick this up

I bought last year's model m51a-h6 from costco a few weeks ago for 300, they had it on sale last weekend for 250 so I got 50 dollars back after price adjustment. It works out of the box with my LG 77C1, through eARC. The sound is really good, that's why I'm curious about how the newer model performs with the additional 2 up firing speakers. I'll do a side by side comparison then decide which one to keep.

I got this from bestbuy price matching Amazon last time. Happy with the sound quality. Ruing kinda said they may have gotten a unit with faulty center. That Is why it's rating was lower than 5.1 version.

I am still worried about the quality control thought. The only vizo product I have is a 50" m series tv bought from costco last black Friday. It just won't turn on suddenly.

Thanks for the post, I've been waiting for this one. Hoping Rtings got a unit with a faulty center speaker like mnlv suggested.

Well, if there's three things I look for in a soundbar, it's bad center channel sound, bad surround sound quality and horrible lip syncing issues. Looks like I've found my holy grail of soundbars!

After having spent ~$400 on another Vizio Atmos sound system, I would never get another. I went with Sonos and haven't looked back.

I used to be able to say the same that is until I bought a Sony TV and it clunked out a few weeks after the warranty expired.
