Awesome in the store but Mega lame at home

So for the Black Friday weekend I purchased a brand new Sony 75 inch TV and decided to go with the Sony Sound Bar since at Best Buy it sounded fantastic. As other 1 and 2 star reviews have stated, this system just doesn't have enough power at all. Problem is when you hook it up to the TV with the HDMI ARC port it just simply flat-out does not have enough punch. Even for regular TV you have to listen to it at 80 for it to even sound halfway decent. It's real weakness is the bass. There's virtually little to none. It just has no punch. I did not try music on a stick because I don't have one handy and really if it can't do everything good I'm just not interested. On a positive note, the setup was pretty straightforward and it seemed to work seamlessly with the Sony TV. I also really like the design along with fit and finish. If I turn it up to max volume and shut it off the TV is actually louder than the soundbar although the sound bar does have better overall sound but it's just lacks bass big time! For having a retail price of about 800 bucks it's definitely not worth it. I paid half that at 399 because of a $200 Black Friday sale and a $200 bundle discount. In my opinion it's still not worth the $400. I'd rather pay a few extra bucks and get a system that actually has some decent punch to it. I wish I would have read some reviews on it before I purchased it. I guess I'm off to the drawing board again as far as a sound bar. In my opinion don't waste your money unless you don't care about getting rich loud sound. If you catch it on sale for 400 or less and you really don't crank your TV it will do but my guess is there's better options out there. This was my first sound bar but it's definitely going back to Best Buy tomorrow. And for the record mr. or mrs. Sony (whoever is posting here in rebuttal) I did go through all the settings and resets but to no avail. This thing just has no umph! The TV on the other hand, I am loving it!

Signed,
Disappointed
