Very nice budget sound bar

I actually bought 2 sound bars on the same exact day from Best Buy. This one from my new 60" in the living room and a Sony for my older 52" that I put in the basement.
I set up the sound bar about 4" below the tv, on the wall and put the sub behind the recliner towards the other side of the room.
Please keep in mind the reason I went this route was for convenience of not having to deal with 5 diff. sets of speakers and running insane amounts of wires all over my house. I like quality sound as much as the next, but I'm not that committed.
I give it like 4.5 out of 5 stars.
Draw backs: Not surround sound and only 2.1, but if you're a basic entertainer like me that watches a ton of sports, likes to stream music via their phone and watches the occasional movie on their TV then this is a very good choice for the lack of hassle and relatively low cost.
Side note: That bluetooth issue, I was told by Pioneer has been recently fixed. I thought I had an issue, but it turns out I just didn't know what I was doing.
What's great about it: Appearance, easy install, wireless, easy set up and control, sound quality, sub woofer control separate from volume
What's not so great: Bass tends to break up after very high levels or adjustment
