Klipsch - Klipsch Cinema 600

Wow.. no love at all for Sonos? Depending on the size of your living room, the Beam 2 is pretty good. I made a hobby of buying lightly used soundbaes, compare it against the Beam 2... Which ever is the better one, I would keep. I've gone through the Samsung 900A, the Klipsch cinema 600 with rears, polk something (can't recall). I did side by side comparisons using both music and movies and the Beam 2 was the preferred device in the household. But for larger rooms the beam felt weakER. I had a Sonos Arc and now have the arc Ultra. The Arc Ultra is pretty good and when you have more budget you can add a sub and rears.

Will do, haven't had any high end bars. I had a midrange Sony with 8" sub than upgraded to a Vizio with the slim subwoofer when the Vizio started messing i got a Klipsch cinema 600 with a 10" sub and still am rocking that today. So I'm hoping the Samsung is a noticeable upgrade

I haven't heard the flexus but had a Klipsch Cinema 600 and it's just ok. Heard the Sennheiser at best buy and wasn't impressed. I like the Sonos but think it's overpriced. I've heard the Samsung q990 and it honestly beats them all. Never heard but would love to hear the kef. Their speakers are generally fantastic and I like the sound profile, particularly if you're looking for clarity.

I have a klipch cinema 600 and can hear it outside when its half way up

I've been running a Klipsch 3.1 for the last 7 years and love it, the new ones look great but I can't speak for them.
