Rockville TM150C Cherry Powered Home Theater Tower Speakers Dual 10" Subs

Product Review: [TM150 & TM80 Speaker System]I ​Overall Impression ​Right out of the box, I was immediately impressed with the appearance and overall fit and finish. These speakers have a classy look and a premium aesthetic that will complement any home décor. While the build quality is somewhat modest—the MDF is thinner than I would expect—the phenomenal sound quality completely makes up for it. For the price point, this system is an absolute winner. ​Sound Quality and Performance ​These speakers are loud with very little audible distortion, delivering an excellent acoustic experience across the frequency range. ​Highs & Mids: The dome tweeter and mid-range drivers deliver crisp, clean highs, ensuring clarity in dialogue and effects. ​Bass: The built-in subs produce deep, rich bass that is impactful and powerful. ​Home Theater Application ​I am currently using this system in a 7.2.4 Dolby Atmos home theater configuration, utilizing a pair of TM150s for the right and left fronts and two pairs of TM80s for the surrounds and rears. My center channel also utilizes a powered sub (from a different manufacturer). I have 2 12 inch powered subs for the lowest frequencies. After setup and calibration, I tested the system with the 4K movie Final Reckoning. I was absolutely floored by the sound quality. The separation was distinct and noticeable, the highs were sharp and crisp, and the deep rumble of the bass was enough to shake the windows, completely surpassing my expectations for a system at this price. ​Features and Versatility ​The system is highly versatile, offering great standalone features that add to its value and fun factor. ​Bluetooth Connectivity: The Bluetooth connectivity was seamless and straightforward to set up. The signal was strong and provided good range. ​FM Radio: The FM radio plays as expected, also with a good, strong signal reception. ​Karaoke: The karaoke feature was loads of fun. Connecting a separately purchased microphone and pairing a tablet via Bluetooth (using Amazon Music for music and lyrics) allowed us to mirror the lyrics to the big screen for a group activity. ​Noted Issues ​I did encounter one minor manufacturing issue. I accidentally plugged RCA cables into the wrong input on one set of the TM80's Aux 2 terminals. When I pulled the cables out, the terminals pulled right out with them. I had to use a pair of pliers to separate them from the cables. Fortunately, this did not affect the use of the other terminals, and all other functionality is still intact. Sending the speakers back for such a small issue would have been more trouble than it was worth. ​Final Verdict ​Hardcore audiophiles might scoff at a budget system like this, but for the average person looking for great, powerful sound without breaking the bank, this system is highly recommended. It is versatile, powerful, and aesthetically appealing—a perfect standalone system for great sound on a budget. I was unable to add a video and pictures. I kept getting an error.

I took a chance on these in the sense that I am not too familiar with the Rockville name and their relatively new (July 30th) appearance on Amazon. I can say without a doubt - these are seriously LEGIT!!! They look beautiful & SOUND utterly amazing!! I am giving 5-stars but that seriously understates my satisfaction with these incredible speakers! These are packed with outstanding tone & power! The remote control has some extremely well thought out features such as adjustable subwoofer & Treble levels at your fingertips. These speakers sound fantastic set flat and from there you can make basic balance adjustments to the subwoofer & treble levels to suit your tastes/room levels. There are also a number of EQ presets if you wish to scroll through them using the remote and stop on one you like and the icing on that cake is that you can STILL adjust subwoofer & treble frequencies on top of any EQ preset curve you select. This allows for a complete & total sound tweaking experience - fantastic! The built in FM stereo is awesome - solid reception and the AutoScan features zips through and programs every station to a preset for you. The Bluetooth connection is rock solid and sounds fantastic! I have not utilized the SD and USB playback options yet, but will soon. I can envision creating a sleep-geared selection on maybe an SD card and leaving that inserted full time for chill/sleep/relaxation. Not sure, but I believe both the SD and USB have a 32GB limit each, but that should hold a huge amount of songs - especially between the 2 of them. There's a TON to love about these speakers - they replaced an 8" floor sub and pair bookshelf speakers & center channel, separate bluetooth device, all the wiring associated with this, etc. They essentially de-cluttered my TV/living room setup while bringing beauty, power & a MUCH higher level of audio quality. I haven't been this happy with an audio purchase in a VERY long time. It is a true joy to listen to anything through this quality of sound. As others stated, these speakers can deliver some low end. Introducing dual 10" woofers into your listening environment can at first seem overwhelming, especially if you are not accustomed to subs or that kind of low end power but a simple & quick subwoofer level adjustment from the remote will put it right where you would like it to be. I appreciate the power on tap - whether I want to keep the subwoofer volume at lower levels or kick them up a couple of notches for movie nights, etc. These speakers can certainly deliver the deep goods if you ask it of them. Just be considerate of your neighbors - with great power comes great responsibility, lol. No matter what the bass levels are set at, these speakers still maintain excellent balance, detail & clarity in the mids & highs. I am no audiophile by any stretch, but I contend that these are truly a beautiful sounding pair of speakers. I am noticing sound & detail clarity in movies & PS4 games that eluded my previous sound system setup. Cons - If there are any cons at all I would say that I don't care for the volume of the "Bluetooth connected" voice when you pair your device - it could come down in volume a bit, but this a minor personal preference not much of con to speak of. I do wish the user manual detailed a little more specifically some of the EQ presets (showing perhaps the EQ curves & frequencies being used, etc). A sleep function on the remote or main unit would be a wonderful option, but all-in-all, this system ROCKS and I already want another pair! Highly recommended!!!

After much debate and skepticism, because of reviews, I got mine today. And at first all I heard eas rattle and what sounded like just a very poor quality system. Then I moved them around a bit and found they were actually rattling my entertainment center. Now that I have mitigated that, they sound absolutely amazing. I.had actually even set them to.be returned. Obviously I canceled the return. Budget friendly, great sound and stylish. The Bluetooth does have an issue where it cuts for a split second often enough that it is very noticeable. All in all, im satisfied so far. We will see about longevity. I did buy the extra insurance just incase any thing happenes. I feel better knowing I have at least a couple years with them.

Omg! Very awesome! The sound is great! My house sounds like a movie theater! Would love to replace my factory jeep speakers with this brand definitely!!!

1/31/24. First this is a not paid for or exchanged for review and have been playing do 30 min. 1) used like new ,,, well the packing as you can see was horrible and allowed a lot of movement. There was no type of support in between or on top of speakers to avoid flopping around.. longevity of components hmmm ? 2) bcuz there was so much flopping around from very bad packing my thinking is there is a speaker leg slightly rattling in my speaker bcuz I’m missing one thinking it slipped in thru the sub out opening in back of course the sticky/ glue pads for feet came out of bag also and glue is on speaker ..Or it is something else that fell off. ? Remote is touchy but works being patient / aiming.. one review says they can hear past a 1 acre plot well not at very high levels or the wind is favoring or very quiet outside Imo .. the sound is nice/ full but must play around w options for that full quality sound. They are in a 30’ x 25’ room 13’ ceilings and fill the room w nice sound .. Remember 370.00 speakers probably will be what they are made in china.. Temps were taken at same time at 26 for 30 minutes.. I do not have any real distortion at 26-28. And the sound for the money is actually nice but does take adjusting to have. The speakers were suspose to be cherry but are black / tm150b. Will update again in 3 weeks. Once my place is completed these are going in garage .. Also the videos do not do sound any justice and 1 review said listen w headphones to not hear distortion. 4/17/24 Bluetooth seems to be gone, on off on off, then I have to go back and select bt then it comes on and immediately (3seconds) power goes off and is repeating process. Customer service has been irrational so I’m not even wasting my time. Amazon never stepped in to totally refund me for these as they are monitoring the conversations I had w them. Total loss of money.

These speakers sound amazing , have used Rockville brand systems for car audio so I knew these were gonna sound great. Have the connected thru Bluetooth with the help of a Bluetooth transmitter; but when connected to iPad or iPhone they are loud, crips mids and highs, deep bass 10/10 for sure 👍

Rockville is not a high end brand... and neither is it a low end brand. It's a fairly product for a good price. Just don't have high expectations and you won't be disappointed. In terms of Value, this is where Rockville shines. This item was once much lower so value was better then but even now the value is still there. Pros: Good Value Good product Good mids Looks good Cons: Poor highs: don't expect crisp highs. I'm not a fan of highs/trebles so it's not a big deal for me. Cables are too short: They need to link it via blue tooth or wireless. Wires is not nearly long enough to run from one corner of the room to another corner. Especially if you plan to have it on a pedestal. Not loud enough for parties: This is not 250W RMS... Wattage don't necessarily translate to SPL (loudness) but Rockville tens to rate their wattage much higher. Someone tested this on YouTube and found this item to max at 91.6 W. I don't plan to always use it that loud... but it'll be nice to have it loud when having a karaoke party. It's definitely not a party speaker. In summary, it's far from perfect... but it fits my need for 95% of the time. For that 5% where I need it to be louder, I can use something else. This looks great with any decor and has all the features that I need. It is missing crisp sounds but I have not tried the optical input (only tested this via blue tooth). For the value, you cannot beat it so I must it five stars regardless it's many flaws.

So I've had these about 6 months now. They still work perfectly fine. Coming from someone with almost 11 years in the car audio industry, I didn't expect a ton out of these and my expectations were met. I just wanted something cheap and simple. Bluetooth still works fine by the way. They get used mostly for TV/movies but music as well, occasionally. The SQ is just okay. Far from horrible but far from phenomenal. These will get plenty loud for your average person but someone like myself, they don't, at least on music. TV/Movies I generally don't have to turn it up past 24/30. For that they're perfectly fine. Music though, these simply don't keep up. Not only do they not get that loud, the low end is quite frankly, while fine for movies, is very very sloppy for music 30/30 on music and they're not that loud. Loud enough for a neighbor to complain, sure, but not loud enough to really jam out. As I said the low end is SEVERELY lacking. I have a very accurate (and expensive) SPL meter, it's accurate down to .001db and reads from 100-185db with a frequency range of 82-120hz. These measured a measly 111db and that was the loudest I could get them, on a test tone. To clarify that's 113db of low end frequencies, not the high end. The high end (vocals) measured only 104db using the RTA (20-20khz 80-120db range). I've built, worked on and listened to builds all the way up to 167db (to clarify for those who may not understand, that was below 60hz, that decibel range on vocals and you'd be deaf instantly). Obviously I don't expect ANYWHERE near that out of these. That build had almost 2000sqin of cone area, a hair over 75,000 watts and was in the small cabin of a van, however, I still expected a lot better performance from these musically. I had 2 cabinets from the 90's for many many years that got louder and sounded better than these. I've built cabinets that sound way better and get way louder than these, though that can get pricy. Can I recommend them? Yes and no. They're cheap. Yes if you're looking for something for TV/movies or as a Bluetooth speaker to replace the tiny portable one you use. No if you're expecting them to sound great and get loud.
