With two-channel stereo sound, this 23-inch speaker is a bit different than the other models in the Alto lineup. At just $60, the Alto 3 can’t hope to compare on sound quality, but maybe it doesn’t have to. It’s likely going to appeal to folks who have been contemplating a Sonos Beam. TCL’s Alto 3 is the soundbar for people who want a really compact TV speaker for better sound. It’s Roku TV-ready for an easy setup and control experience. It’s a half-inch wider at 32-inches, but it’s the same as the 6+ soundbar in every other respect - even the power at 20 watts is identical.
