The reason I purchased another sound bar is that I had accidently dropped one the Bluetooth speakers on my Monoprice soundbar and I get no sound out of them anymore despite having reset the bluetooth connections :( I liked the sound of the Monoprice system. I watched this review and when I looked at the frequency responses curves, I knew it was for me. The measurements are shown in the 12 minute mark. I wanted a soundbar with separate surround speakers for when I watch movies.


(Prices are in Canadian dollars) I looked on Amazon Canada and its priced at $699. I then went to the Ultimea site and it was listed for $609 last night. This afternoon and after my lunch, I went back to visit the Ultimea site again and it was listed as shown below. Notice the price has increased to $846. I still had a window open with the $609 price so I put the item in the cart and the price remained a $609. I bought it. I'm excited.

It looks good, where I am we don't have this make or the Monoprice, I'll get a soundbar for my wife's tv, she has a TCL C8K, not sure if it's the same model number there, and probably will get the TCL Q75K sounbar, hopefully she'll like it when it comes out
 
Yesterday after lunch,I replaced the Monoprice soundbar system with the Ultimea X50 soundbar system. I went from a surround to ATMOS system. The Ultimea system was extremely well packed. Here are the pics

Below, The Ultimea soundbar is the longer unit but it weighs less than the Monoprice setup.

The sound comes in three separate pieces and are rotated together as shown by the ends below.

The comparison in between the Ultimea subwoofer on the left and the Monoprice subwoofer on the right. Both have 8" drivers and both can dig very low despite their size.

Yesterday, I tested the soundbar setup. I was a little scared that I goofed in buying the Ultimea when I discovered the Monoprice bar was heavier by 5ish lbs. That initial trepidation was quickly put to the rest when I started playing music through it. I was listening to this

Can it play loud? Measured from 8ft away without the surrounds and upfiring atmos speakers playing. It sound crystal clear, not strident or harsh
