SC9S

I got mine bundled with my G4. USC9S. The reviews for this one weren’t great and on first set up I was unsure. Then used an instruction manual I pulled from the web (the sound bar only had a quick start guide) and I think it’s amazing. But I did add the back firing speakers that you have to buy separately which really adds to the experience. Having said that it depends on your living situation. I often use my head set and it’s great. Superb picture and the sound is immersive. It also depends on which TV you got. In hindsight G4 has a great sound without the need of a soundbar. But if you are a movie buff then it could be a good addition.

Same here with sc9s only good for electronic music. I think any soundbar is not good for music though, need a proper AV system to get both so unless you want to go that option

I got the C5 and an amazing price deal on the sc9s so I know what you mean the Sub doesn't ever recommend LG soundbars, that said im a bit annoyed with mine and other than the price and Wow bracket and Wow Orchestra which unlike everyone else I seem to like I'm not sure id recommend it, I kind of get what the review says about the bar compared to my Sonos Beam on another tv. I'm mostly annoyed they stopped making rear speakers for it though as I thought I could get a surround sound set up.

I bought and returned an LG SC9S for a Klipsch Flexus Core 200 all-in-one soundbar and this soundbar is outstanding! The quality is very good, plus it has great bass for being just a soundbar. I’m in an apartment so I can’t really benefit from a subwoofer but that soundbar supports any direct connect subwoofer so you can shop out of its ecosystem. Can also buy surround speakers too. EDIT: Bought for $475, but sales on this go lower than that.

I posted on here before (now deleted lol) asking what is up with the LG soundbar hate? I had bought an LG SC9S and hooked it up and ran it and was, at first, really surprised on the output on the soundbar and subwoofer. After watching a couple movies in Dolby Atmos there was a few occurrences that left me thinking “is that it?” I’m not sure if it was the intentional mixing done in movies or what but it was leaving a dull taste in my mouth, especially for spending almost $600 w/ tax. Additionally the soundbar rear speakers were discontinued and the LG app support is awful, so those three items combined made me return it. Since I am in an apartment I was doing more research into “all-in-one” soundbars and ended up choosing the Klipsch Flexus Core 200. For $80 cheaper (w/ tax) than the LG, the Core 200 offered exquisite performance. I am very pleased with the looks and performance of the Flexus Core 200 and its ease of equalizing whether through the remote or their app. Klipsch also sells rear speakers and they allow you to wire any 3rd part subwoofer straight from the bar. If you’re in search for a bar that has good range I would recommend. When I move out I will be picking up the Klipsch Flexus Sub 100 and Klipsch Flexus Surr 100 surround speakers to complete the movie experience setup.

Agree! Unfortunately for this specific one I can’t recommend for being discontinued, no rear speaker configuration, and poor app management.

The S90TR is actually what made me give LG a chance because in the in-store demo for that thing was a BEAST! Unfortunately that is not an option for me in my living conditions plus it was $800 (on-sale) so I had to look elsewhere. I bought the SC9S thinking I might get the same bam but no cigar plus, like I said to someone else, you can’t get rear speakers for it, it’s discontinued, and the app support isn’t very good. That’s putting my subjective standards aside on its sound performance. I was contemplating the Sonos and I heard the same thing about the Sennheiser AMEBO being the cats pajamas but my wallet doesn’t agree plus for that price point I would rather get a full system later in life. So I landed on Klipsch after reviewing and looking at recommendations and I’m very happy. I’m not shoehorned into a specific manufacturer market and I can upgrade it in the future (if stuff doesn’t get discontinued). I am jealous of your S90TR setup though lol

Did you experienced it's sound? I tried out Sony S40R , Sony HT-500RF and Lg SC9S in croma. According to my experience, Lg SC9S had best sound depth, clarity and good bass. I was planning to buy Lg SQ75TR but it was not available at Croma, so I was not able to hear it yet.

If you have to keep the lg soundbar, there is a trick: you cover the sub and any other speakers with the system with thick blankets and then initiate the AI calibration or whatever and since the bar doesn’t hear the sub very well; it adjusts its power way up. Otherwise, just get a different company’s bar
