Looking for your thoughts from experience with the unit. Apparently from looking around there isn't any curved soundbar setups for 43" sets. I'm using the Samsung UN43KU7500 as my display for my game rig and recently decommissioned my Logitech Z-5300 setup that hasn't been touched in years aside from cleaning it when the office is cleaned weekly.

I suffer from Fiance syndrome (You know what I mean: "Turn it down", "It's too loud", "The bass is too high", etc) so I had been using strictly headsets up until getting the 43". I'm currently mainly using the Samsung for my pc gaming audio since I can have the volume lower on it and not bother my fiance.

The thing is I would like a bit more from time to time without taking up so much space like the Z-5300 did. I had speakers on both sections of my Galant desk and my fiances Galant for the surround experience yet wasn't using the setup for above said reasons. 9 years and it was utilized maybe a total of 5-6 hours. I should have decommissioned it years ago lol.

Reviews seem pretty damn good on it aside from the sub not keeping up at higher levels which I probably wouldn't get away with utilizing anyway. Seems the max is 50 on the volume scale yet it's pretty damn loud at 10 let alone the rest of the volume spectrum.
 
Eh. No experience but I would say it is probably a big jump up from the Z-5300s. This is hardforum though so at least get two of them and stack them on top of each other.
 
I don't know about a 2.1 system being better then a 5.1 but the tech is much newer anyway. LMAO at the stacking two on top each other.
