Based on 1 year's data from Feb 24, 2026 How it works
Hello I have q900t which was in the past connected with Samsung tv it died and I have purchase the tcl and now the base is gone . Before it was like very high base but now there is none . I am unable to find a fix for it :(
I had the same soundbar. It's decent in terms of clarity, but when I got a Samsung 900t with added subs I realized how lackin the Yamaha was. Sad thing was I paid almost the same for both. Was a total soundbar noob.
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
That was my only real complaint with their 900 series sets. A small settings change in the menu, or even some system-wide awareness that allows switching to a different mode specifically for listening to music -- or even older Dolby 2.1 and stereo channel content from any source. Unfortunately, I can't test this setup myself now, as I have the surrounds mounted, but this is great advice for someone else that comes through this thread. I sincerely hope their next iteration solves some of these issues. Having come from a dedicated Atmos setup, I was impressed with the performance -- but not having solid music playback was a tough pill to swallow.
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.
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.
Yeah Samsung q800 or q900 series are both stellar for dialogue. I hated the older Samsungs for dialogue, but anything b, c, d or newer in those ranges are awesome with dialogue, even when you don’t turn on the voice enhancement. My q990b is fantastic for voice clarity even in action movies at any volume.
I was looking at the q900 but bought the q800 because I do not need/want the rears and it was 300 more than the q800. I might return the q800 for the q930 since I found it 150 more than the q800 but q900.
