VIZIO SS2520-C6 2.0 Sound Stand

I purchased the Vizio SS2520-C6 Sound Stand a little over a month ago (August 2017), pretty much as a sound enhancer for our new Vizio 32" Smart TV, as well as a pedestal to raise the height of the TV (contained within our bedroom TV cabinet enclosure). The only size TV we've ever been able to fit into that console is 32", but we've never considered this to be a limitation for our daily TV viewing. So, I set the sound stage up without a problem using the Digital Optical input, and then tried it out on our Netflix show-of-the-moment, "Ozark". Well, it sounded great UNTIL it got to those "threatening" moments, when the heavy, low bass sound appears. MAJOR distortion...terribly vibrating the console area and making me wonder if I made a mistake in buying this sound stand!! At this point you're probably wondering, WHY THE 5-STAR REVIEW ?? Well, please keep in mind that this was an $80+ purchase, designed to bypass the insufficient sound coming from the TV itself. Apparently, I didn't know that it couldn't handle the really low bass sound - however, every sound leading DOWN to that low bass sounded like a breath of fresh air! It was a complete improvement on the TV sound. However, it is SO important to understand that THIS SOUND STAND DOESN'T CONTAIN A SUBWOOFER !! (A fact I didn't consider upon purchase, as I was plainly ignorant about subwoofers!) (And), for $80+...SHOULD it contain a subwoofer ??? IMO, since subwoofers cost plenty, I'd say it shouldn't...so, this is worth the $80+ for what it DOES provide....nice clear sound..."down" to a point! So, this review could stop here....but, you may (again) be wondering, WHAT DID HE DO, SINCE HE NEEDS THAT LOW BASS?? Long story short, 2 days ago after much research, I purchased a 10" Yamaha YST-SW216 10" subwoofer, which is connectable to the Vizio sound stand via its subwoofer output (RCA connector - convenient feature, I'd say!)....put it on the floor of the nearest corner of our bedroom, about 8' away...powered it on, made adjustments, and got to the "threatening" Ozark part ---> OMIGOD....I couldn't imagine how I could've been without a subwoofer all my life!! A perfect rumble....no distortion! That night, I tried the Bluetooth connection of the sound stand (another great feature!) to my iPhone music...another completely religious experience!! In summary,for about $200 total, you can't beat the quality of the $80+ sound stand AND a really great, low-cost 10" subwoofer. It is questionable that the small subwoofers contained in higher-priced sound bars/stands could get thru those low-bass areas...?? I'll never know, since I'm now completely satisfied with the audio setup in the bedroom! Thanks for listening! (All of the previous reviews here were very helpful to me...!)
