Does your tv have to have Dolby atmos for this to work?

Hi Robert Holmes, Thanks for your interest in the HTX8500. Connecting a TV that supports Atmos is optional. You can connect this soundbar to a TV that supports HDMI (eARC/ARC) or optical cable connection. -Ralph

What is the height from top of speaker to bottom?

Hi Mrs. Boo, Thank you for your inquiry. The height of the main unit of the HTX8500 soundbar is 2 5/8 inch(64 mm). Here is the complete dimension of the main unit: 35 1/8” x 2 5/8” x 3 7/8” [890 mm x 64 mm x 96 mm]- BODY ONLY (W X H X D). Hope this information helps. - Kris HTX8500

how would i connect this unit being I am using exclusively a fire stick to stream all my tv and movie content?

Hi FREDERIC, Thanks for your inquiry. Once you connected your fire stick to the TV, you can output the sound from the TV to the soundbar by using the supplied HDMI cable if the TV supports HDMI ARC or with an optical cable for TVs that do not support HDMI ARC. As an alternative, you can also use the HDMI IN of the soundbar for HDMI devices. Regards, -Ralph

Does the bass shake the surface of whatever its on?

I don’t have issues with shaking or moving because of vibration . The bass isn’t too strong on this speaker though.
