Strengths: Incredibly easy setup, a no-brainer to use, a good "wife-friendly" way to get home theater sound, pretty good quality sound

Weaknesses: a bit pricey, not much flexibility such as graphic equalizer, etc., and I guess being simple could detract some users

Summary: Maybe you could call me a wimpy husband, but both of us wanted home theater sound in our living room, and my wife expressly and repeatedly forbade any wires running around the room. Enter the Boston Acoustics TVee Two. As I'm sure you've already seen, it has a sound bar that is to be placed close to the TV monitor, and a wireless subwoofer which goes elsewhere in the room. Setup is simple: connect RCA stereo adapters from the TV to the unit, plug in power, turn it on and go. Obviously, there's tweaking to be done with making sure you have audio output from the TV, adjusting volume, etc., but the learning curve is NOT steep. You can program it to respond to the infrared signals from your remote for volume up, down, mute and power. The only wrinkle I'll mention here is that occasionally, the TV might pick up the remote's signal and the TVee 2 doesn't, which means that one of them is on and one is off. No big deal, just the push the power button on one or the other to get them back on the same page. The same can happen with volume up or down, but when this happens, I just make sure both of them see the signal, hold volume down until both of them are bottomed out, and then they're back together. All in all, it's a simple and effective option. A bit pricey, but that's okay. Convenience has its cost. The sound may not be quite that of a full-blown home theater, but it's pretty darned good. And, it kept my wife happy. Our TV is a 32-inch Sony LCD, which makes its home in a home theater cabinet. The only place for the TVee 2 was above the TV, but there wasn't any way to suspend it there, so I made a bracket out of corner braces from the lumber yard and a 1x4 piece of pine. I attached it to the TV where you would mount the wall mount bracket and painted the whole thing black. I think it looks pretty good, and to the casual observer it looks like it came that way from some factory.
