For the money though, I imagine it's pretty good.
I'd say, for someone on a budget, looking for an adequate budget tier home theater 3.1 system, this would be a good option. You can add the overpriced surrounds to make it a 5.1 system, but if you can wait for sale or a general price drop on those, it might be worth the while. The lowest I've ever seen those sell for is $150 refurbished, which I eventually bought on Amazon. However, they came sealed, looking brand new, but I haven't had the chance to hook them up as yet to listen with the rest of the system.
For those looking at buying this on Amazon, look for any used or refurbished ones sold by Waltz, those tend to be brand new or mildly used ones, as I believe Waltz list their brand new ones to get around any Klipsch broader sales restrictions on their distributors.
The value is substantial, depending on your needs. I used it to replace the highest end Samsung Atmos bar system that sounded great when it worked and had numerous smart features (that I never used), but the sub and surrounds cut out a lot - there is none of that with this Klipsch setup. i have the matching surrounds and sub for this Klipsch system and it works way better from a functionality perspective given zero signal drop off and delivers great sound for about half the price. But, much-less functionality given the lack of smart/streaming features
A major consideration for me was the hard-wired sub output, given the drop-off issues i had with the Samsung sub matched to the Samsung system. Plus, that output allows you to hookup any brand hard-wired sub to it - not just whatever sub they build to match this system. Well. I now have two subs running off this - the matching flexus wireless 100 sub (sounds great and works flawlessly) and an SVS sub hard-wired sub. With the ability to add any hard-wired sub brand, PLUS the Klipsch wireless sub to this system, it crushes most other "closed" branded system available. Granted, i paid as much for the SVS sub as I did for the rest of the system but that feels about right! You'll likely do fine with just the matching flexus sub
if you're looking for just a great-sounding, flawless-performing soundbar system to connect to your TV and to include any hard-wired sub you want, this is the only way to go at this price. If you're looking for a soundbar system with built-in streaming/smart features, keep looking because this doesn't have them. I had that stuff on my high-end, buggy Samsung set up and never used them, so just think of your usage needs.

Correction: It definitely has bluetooth playback.
