Left and right speakers should be as far apart as you are from them. And sound from a speaker is better than 10 drivers bouncing sound off god knows what before it gets to you. Going from q800c (with the satellite speakers) to a used 5.1 setup was a massive improvement
I'd spend a bit more , a soundbar is something you'll have around for years , plus ask to try them out , when I went to buy mine I heard the base b650 and thought it was good , then I heard then q700b and I was shocked on how much more depth it had , I spend the extra 200 and bought that q700b , now I have the q700b , q800c, and q990d , and each one is better then the previous and its noticeable
I had a Samsung Q800c and Sub for a couple of years and recently upgraded to a Sonos Arc Ultra with a pair of Era100s. What a difference. The Samsung sounded like a louder TV speaker with no separation. Also since I have a Samsung TV I thought they would pair nicely. Nope. I was always re-pairing and turning it on. The Sonos Arc Ultra is so immersive and I don´t even need a sub. Get the Sonos
Rather than ¨bigger is better¨you might want to consider a soundbar with the biggest soundstage. I just got a Sonos Arc Ultra with two era 100s to replace a Samsung Q800 with rear surrounds. Even though they are similar in size the Sonos soundstage blows the Samsung out of the water.
I have an Ark and era300’s and have never experienced Atmos, it was the same with the Beam gen 2 I had !!
Atmos is displayed in the app, but for the life of me it just sounded like good surround. I did have a Samsung 800c soundbar with the optional rear surrounds, now that Did sound great with very good Overhead Atmos !!
You can check the prices of Q990D,930F or 990F.
I got Q800C and its good but last week i got 930F for $424 at samsung.com in my region and there's a big difference in perfomance, so check the prices of 9-series first in your region.
I got Q800C last year and its very good but then last week there was a discount in samsung.com in my regiod so igot Q930F for $424 product discount + samsung discount code and its very good, the sound i can't even raise it to more than 40%,. If mid-range are being sold for $300 better add something for those mentioned expensive soundbars when are discounted.

Value for movies and easy setup, but music falls flat.
