This was the lowest price for the soundbar that I found in a year. It was pre-Covid for $350 at Christmas, but as we all know, those days are gone.

The deal is part of Amazon's early 2 day sale that starts tomorrow. What makes it attractive to me is the long return window of Jan 31, 2023

It's been at $350 every couple months all through the summer from GameStop if you could get one

I got one and absolutely love it.

Thanks for the heads-up, I'll start checking their website.

Wish they named their products better. This version has upfiring speakers while another speaker with a very similar model name doesn't.

Hopefully it hits $350 again but I do like the Jan. 31st return policy. Bases covered.

Last I checked they were selling the model M51a-H for $300. This post is for the model M512a-H6. It has some features that the M51 doesn't, but it is still an excellent soundbar, with great reviews from rting.com.

This is the top-reviewed soundbar kit on Rtings.com in its price range. I bought one on that basis and absolutely love it.

I got it for 350 had for nearly a year. It's amazing the small rears and sub are no joke at all. What does suck is the led dots you need to look at when calibrating it. Atmos height is definitely there and noticeable but not mind blowing.

For about a month sometimes the tv would not recognize the soundbar but hadn't had any issues since.

Actually the M51A sounds great, especially for the price. Rtings.com compares both, https://www.rtings.com/soundbar/t...shold=0.10

You can see that their performance is almost identical. I had an M51A but finally had to return it to Costco because of constant HDMI-ARC handshaking problems, in spite of updating to the latest firmware. Hopefully they've resolved that.

You can also search the Slickdeals threads for older M51a posts/comments.

Hope this helps you.

Currently have the Bose SoundTouch 300 bar + woofer + speakers ( lacks Dolby Atmos support though ) Would it be worthwhile replacing that with this VIZIO model?
