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
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.
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.
Q900. Same bar. Same sub. No rears.
This is not a beginner setup in terms of Soundbars. This is one of the best probably the best Soundbar overall you can buy. There are far more expensive ones but none of them as good as Samsung Q900 Series period.
A Samsung Q700 Series Soundbar system would do just fine in that room. I have a 900, 800, and 700 system in various rooms of my home. The 700 series on 50% volume will shake a bedroom like that. Obviously, if budget is no option then always go bigger and adjust power as needed. But, if budget is a concern, their 700 series stuff is very impressive for a smaller bedroom.
