If you want the best, go with the LG Sound Suite. H7 sound bar, just the sound bar, but it is a beast. If you want something with it, I recommend the LG SC9S. That comes with a subwoofer. Not wanting LG? Look into the Sony Bravia Bar 5 or Bar 6. If you have any questions on them, lmk!

LG stated they were going to release more customization and setting options when running the TV as the hub for the speakers instead of the H7 sound bar. With that said I doubt the option exists to disable the tv speakers while running two M5/M7. At least for now, I do not see such being listed in th

If you haven't already, you can check out my initial review here with some details about my set-up, with photos: https://www.reddit.com/r/LG_UserHub/s/tW8KrlrzdR As for the specific router/wifi, I currently just have ISP provided equipment, which is subpar through (Telus - NH20A ONT and a Boost 6 Wi

No TV required if you get the H7 soundbar as it will act as the Dolby Atmos Flex Connect (DAFC) hub for the units you group with it (M5s or M7s). The soundbar has the α11 Processor which runs the DAFC. If you have a compatible LG TV then you can use e.g 1 to 4 M7s with the TV acting as the DAFC hub.

I sold my first generation Sonos Arc about a year ago so I wasn’t able to compare them directly. That being said I don’t think the gen 1 Sonos Arc beats the H7 with the four M7s in terms of dialogue clarity in my experience thus far! Whether it surpasses it I do not want to say for certain given I c

“If you own a DAFC-enabled TV but don’t want to pay for the H7 soundbar, I recommend getting at least 2 M7 speakers to try as rear channels while using the TV as a hub.” I think I should have tried this on my LG C5 with two M7’s. (I tried the H7 and 1 M7 speaker) on my LG C5 tv… i just felt like it

I also got mine a couple of weeks ago, got the H7 with four M7 speakers. Coming from a competitor, I ran into quite strange issues. When setting up, I was asked to have my phone on a 2.4 or 5 ghz channel. My router was set to one network with band steering and MLO, so I had to go into my router's se

Something to keep in mind is Whathifi and Tech Radar from looks of it only tested with two M7s which I suspect is why they rated vocal clarity lower. I would hypothesize that vocal quality with two discrete left and right m5 or m7s next to the H7 will increase vocal clarity. Presumably the H7 can fo

Just for clarification, you do not need the sound bar to use the speakers as standalone speakers. You do need Wi-Fi for the initial set up with the LG app. The system is very very flexible. I saw demo the other day where they had two different stereo sets of speakers playing two completely different

I’ve reached out to both LG and TCL, which have the only FlexConnect devices to market, neither support any flavour of DTS (while their previous soundbars did). It seems FlexConext devices will be Dolby centric, so if this tech takes off it’s going to be harder and harder to get soundbars with DTS.
