Samsung - HW-Q900C/ZA

I got a Samsung Q900c for my LG G3. No regrets.

Using the rears as fronts, vastly improves music quality. But if u only want a standalone, maybe look to sonos arc ultra, if thats too much the q900 would be great as well, even the q800.

Q900C, the sub is so important.

I have a Samsung Q900c with the 9500s rear speakers. So basically a 990c but with only rear and up firing speakers, no rear side firing speakers. But I got the 900c for $499 and the rears for $121. So the whole package for $620 couldn’t really be beaten in terms of value to me. Rear side firing speakers weren’t worth the extra couple hundred the 990c would have cost

Q900c does not have rear speakers, but you can add that later if your situation changes. Sonos arc ultra is another possibility.

Im also from canada. I returned the arc and got samsung. Its so much user friendly and it has the surrounds and sub. For the arc you have to spend so much if you want to complete the setup (surrounds and sub)

I had the Samsung Q900C and the lack of ethernet was a major problem. Airplay stopped working entirely, even though Spotify connect worked I switched to the JBL, and the ethernet is super nice to have and AirPlay works flawlessly.

Go for Samsung Q series preferably the Q9 or try the Samsung B750 if you are budget conscious. If you looking for JBL go for higher trims

Standalone or kit/surround? Price range? Adding a sub to any system usually improves midrange clarity a lot by offloading the low end from the main speakers. Room correction is also a good feature to look for to compensate for your environment and remove some echo/distortion. And many models also include dialogue enhancement or dynamic range compression/loudness compensation which helps with hearing words in badly mixed shows and not having background noise drown things out. The Samsung Q990F is probably the best overall at everything, but expensive. The D model if you can find it is just the slightly older one and nearly the same but often much cheaper. If you don't need the surrounds the Q900 is the same bar/sub. Q930/Q800 is one step down from there and still good. Q750 is another step down and has fewer features but was on sale super cheap recently. If you don't want a sub the Sonos Arc Ultra is also good but a little overpriced. The original arc is available refurbished for $399 from their website which is a pretty good deal if nothing else is still on sale. Though note room correction is only available via the iOS app for them.

Q930 Q900 Maybe

My 9.1 sounded amazinf for 1 day, then right detachable speaker started popping and making static sound, at full volume. reset, unplugged, finaly returned. Bought Samsung Q900 (no rears). sounds great.
