I heard the new TCL Z100 Dolby FlexConnect speakers, and it could be the beginning of a new era for home theater


We’ve been hearing about Dolby FlexConnect for a few years since it was announced in 2023, and Dolby and TCL have given demos of the technology in the past, but we’re finally at the point where the technology is coming to the consumer market. And the first speakers to incorporate FlexConnect are the TCL Z100 and its companion Z100-SW subwoofer.

I got the opportunity to hear the speakers at Interscope Records in Santa Monica on a sunny LA afternoon (is there any other kind?) in early August. The demonstration was impressive for a first product attempt, although it did have some drawbacks. More importantly, I had the takeaway that FlexConnect and speakers like the TCL Z100 promise to go beyond the best soundbars in making home theater speaker setup easier and quicker than ever.
