LG - SP9YA

I got a used LG Sp9ya and used transmitter LG spk8-s and polk owm3 rears for under $500. earc, dolby atmos, dts:x, surround speakers. system rated better equivalent to sonos arc on rtings but i have the advantage of being able to use all codecs. you could probably get something even nicer than that

I got a used LG SP9YA for $220. Those soundbars for $100 might not even be noticeable difference to TV speakers. Save up and get something used at least Id say.

Very happy with my LG SP9YA (got it on ebay for $240). Ordered the LG-SPK8S receiver on ebay ($67). Paired it with Polk OWM3 surround speakers ($114). Rtings rated the SP9YA comparable to the Sonos Arc. For the price I paid for everything (<$500). I am pretty satisfied. Updated the firmware via LG app, use it with xbox series X for DTS X and atmos content. Works great with my LG OLED. Built in room correction and AI sound pro. I can control individual speaker/sub volume via LG app.

I got a used LG SP9YA for under $250. I ordered an LG SPK8S rear transmitter without LG rear speakers. I purchased Polk OWM3 speakers to connect to the rear transmitter. I spent under $500 for everything total. [Rtings.com](http://Rtings.com) rates the SP9YA comparably to Sonos Arc. With the LG phone app; I increase the level of the rears to max and sub half way to max. It sounds extremely immersive; and with proper positioning of the rears it has a great spatial effect. I am very satisfied with the sound and having everything LG. You could sync the bar with your LG's built-in speakers. (like samsung q-symphony)

i have a used lg sp9ya, with a used rear transmitter, and new polk owm3 rear speakers. i spent under $500. everyone here hates sound bars but for what i spent i'm sure it would be hard to find traditional bookshelf/avr that can beat the sound. I also have the wife approval factor because the soundbar is mounted under TV and rears mounted on ceiling beam so there is not a shit ton of speakers everywhere.

I'm currently selling an LG SP9YA along with the rear speakers SPK8S for about $500 if you're interested? They were great!! I upgraded to the S95QR speakers.

The Samsung tv will help with center channel with the Q symphony I believe. Prob will not notice much if at all. Samsung as others had said is def a far better bang for your buck. I don’t consider myself an audio expect but I had what I thought was a nice lg 5.1.2 soundbar and the Samsung blows it away. Voice clarity is what shocked me the most. All ranges of sounds are more defined and crisp even when only steaming. 4k Blu-ray Discs up the level another few notches. There are a bunch of posts on this subreddit explaining how to save a bunch of money ordering some Samsung directly if you choose to go with that soundbar
