The Vizio SB2020n-J6 is middling for mixed usage. It's a suitable choice for listeners of PCM-formatted content, but unfortunately, there's no support for multi-channel formats like Dolby Digital. It has a pretty neutral and balanced sound out-of-the-box, so vocals and lead instruments are clear and detailed. There's audible compression and distortion present at normal listening volumes, though. This soundbar also doesn't get very loud.
