It seems that the snobs followed you here OP, lol. A lot of salty responses here. On topic: check the q800 series from Samsung or see if they have the q990 series on sale, they often have last year's model on a deep discount. I have the Q800C and really like it

If we're comparing the Bose Smart 600 without a sub & the Ambeo Plus without a sub, then the 990F is the choice no question about it. But I would argue trying out the Bose Smart Soundbar with the BM700 subwoofer and see how you like it. I had the Q800C & I can't imagine the 990's sound much differen

Try a Samsung system. The Q-990C is 11.1.2 and the Q-800C is 5.1.2 and both are under $1000.

Personally I wouldn't buy anything below the Q800's. But I honestly would say to find a Q800D or even a Q800C over the Q800F. The new Q800F subwoofer is a single 6.5" driver & 8" PR sealed enclosure, which is the same subwoofer from the S800's slim series soundbar. It doesn't hold a candle to the Q8

Firstly q-symphony is more of a gimmick so don't bother with it(it is nice but no big deal). Also the q800c is a better soundbar than the bar 500, so go with the samsung. Yes go with the q800f if u can.

Even if the room is very little ? I'm in apartment and my room doesn't even no 10m2 i'm the Samsung q800c + 9500s and I never set it above 12% of the volume, or 15% if the content is standard definition or streaming in DD+. In fact, I had to lower it for Dune 2 in dolby atmos on 4k blu-ray. Sorry fo

I'm in the same boat as you are. I have the Samsung hw q800c (connected to LG G4 to PC) and i have no idea wich option to choose. I've asked chatGPT what sound option to choose with and it came up with this: - TV → only useful if you're actually playing through the TV speakers (so without a soundbar

Great. I went to RD to demo them. They offered me a Samsung Q800C which was a demo unit for half the price. It was amazing and much better than the SC9S. Took it for 28.6k for 1+2 extra years warranty from Reliance. Will be getting delivery tonight.

Can't find anything on Samsung Q903d.... If you connect your shield to the soundbar IN connection then from soundbar OUT to tv, and set passthrough audio and untick Dolby digital processing on shield, the audio from the app should play uncompressed, the soundbar will then pass picture only to tv. I
