Good speaker, but be careful setting it up!
I bought the 550 Soundbar a week now. Set up was simple, provided you set it up in the right order! (Which I didn't to start with). I connected it up to my Sony Bravia TV and was fairly impressed with the sound, TV and music. However, when I tried to turn off the TV nothing happened! It was only after extensive searching that found out that you had to disconnected Virgin media before connecting the 550, then connect Virgin.
Since then, I have been fairly impressed with the sound and simplicity of use. Is it worth £440? I'm not sure, but I think if I connect a couple of rear speakers it will sound better.

Easy to set up and great sound
I bought this on the recommendation from Richersounds. It took very little time to set up, install the app and follow the instructions on the app. I have it installed under the TV and the sound is far superior to the TV. I purposely went for this as I did not want a separate bass, even without a separate bass speaker it has a great sound. I believe you can add one afterwards but I do not think it is necessary. The sound travels a lot better and is very clear. It also automatically set up on my phone where I can play spotify from it, and I did not need to set it up separately.

A small bar with a big sound
This sound bad might look small but it kicks out a big sound. Paired with trays and a sub woofer it is even better. While
It doesn’t have much to adjust configuration it creates a

Really good sound quality, clear speech.
We’re used to having a separate centre speaker for our tv and having moved house we don’t have any where for it to go. So the sound bar looked like a good option, and it definitely doesn’t disappoint. Way nicer audio than tv’s output and speech is so much clearer. The added bonus of having Alexa built in means it’s declutters the room as don’t need an Echo in the lounge any more.
Overall very happy with this sound bar.
