LG - S70TR

I was in the same boat as you are, went to the stores to check both. Bought the 600c as it has better sound clarity, but the surround effect is not that good without the rears. Lg s70tr is good, but lacks sound clarity.

Tried both the s60t and s70t LG offerings - get the S70TR - the s70tr sounded much better

Did you actually test the S70 with all it's settings? Auto volume and audio upmixer makes it way better. Excellent audio quality and dialogue volume. From my personal experience samsungs are quite crap with dialogue levels and uneven volumes. hollow and thin vocals.

I went to Best Buy and listened to the LG soundbars. I was not impressed. I went with the Vizio Elevate 5.1.2. I'm very happy with it. Except the fact that there is no volume level indicator. Your right, the LG didn't have enough punch.

i bought the s70tr...am now 18 days out at BestBuy. they declined the exchange (must be inside 15 days for exchange/return), even tho i tried to explain the vague use of the definition of dolby atmos. are both the LG S80 and the LG S90 ok products? i'll assume they're ok. liv'n learn i guess.

I just got the US70TR and absolutely love it - really immersive sound, sleek design and Atmos compatible. If you have an LG TV you can also make use of LG’s new WOW Orchestra tech which incorporates your TV’s speakers into the soundbar’s 5.1 speaker array. I also looked at the HomePods but decided against them because they are simply not well designed for home theatre use - they are more bookshelf loudspeakers.

better than most other 5.1’s with satellites in a similar price range for sure! you can get a vizio 5.1 for about $50-$125 less, but they’re going to sound noticeably lesser in quality than the LG. if you want a little more depth in your audio though i’d get the S70 instead, as it adds some height to your sound bubble as well

If you want WOW orchestra to be a crucial part of your experience then go the LG. If you don’t care about the feature. See if about the q930d or 990d if you’re able to get a good discount via Samsungs website.

Samsung Q990D is a recommended soundbar but in my opinion; if you have LG OLED TV like me, LG soundbar would be the best. The reason is LG WOW Orchestra feature. I live in an apartment and the sound passes to the neighbors a lot, they balanced the sound very well with WOW Orchestra, so I can use the soundbar all the time, neighbors are not disturbed.
