"For me, it's a very capable home cinema for the money, definitely pumping the whole house when watching Dune or anything similar. ... Anything truly atmos with 9 to 11 separate speakers will be at least double the price, so I'm pleased with what I have."
"Plus if you need/want later on rear speakers you can buy them separately and upgrade this setup for dirt cheap compared to equivalent sounding setups from competitors"
"If you're patient and wait for the right deal, you'll pick up a q930c or maybe even d for around £550. ... This would be the best plan for your budget"

"The 4 atmos speakers are a must for most streaming movies/shows and you wont get anything close to an atmos sound without upfiring speakers."
"Play the openheimer intro seen, if it do not rumble the house, something is wrong with the setup."
"The Q930 won't disappoint, trust me. ... I have mine in a roughly 12 x 10 man cave with 100" projector setup. ... It really does put a smile on my face."

"In my opinion, having subwoofers is a must in music, and the Samsung comes with it. ... I bump music downstairs with the Samsung, and I'm very satisfied."
"Bass definitely not a problem I always have to lower the sub volume because I’m scared it’ll piss off the neighbours."

"Sound became more powerful, present and the vocals became even more clear. Also there clearly was a sensation of the increased soundstage. ... However this time it produced the best music I've ever heard from this system."
"It isolates the dialogue perfectly to the center channel and sometimes even fills up the rear speakers. I find this making YouTube more pleasant to watch."
"the immersion and soundstage is night and day with my Samsung Q930C ... for the immersion and surround sound, my Samsung beats it hands down."

"You'll wish you had the rear surrounds that come with the 930 and not with the 800."
"which will come with the surrounds with upfiring Atmos drivers"

"The sub is absolute trash!"
"Avoid it, I have the Q930c and at low volume it sounds like any random 200$ soundbar."
"The q990 just sounds clearer. ... everything is just a little clearer or crisper on the q990. The q990 has better nuance - that's maybe a nice word. You hear details that you don't hear on the q930 as easily, in both music and movies."

"Avoid it, I have the Q930c and at low volume it sounds like any random 200$ soundbar."
"These high quality soundbars (I have the q930c as well) really start to shine when you pump up the volume. You'd really be throwing your money out the window."
"At the volume 10, I can barely hear it. ... YouTube through the firestick needs turning down to about 13, pretty much everything else I watch is at 16 - 18. ... Music needs to be played at around 20 to 25."

"I find it struggles with dialouge clarity imo"
"Sure, you could play around with the adaptive mode or voice enhancement feature, but for me it's making the voices sound too unnatural."

"The sub is absolute trash!"
"Definetely the sub is not satisfying for deep bass."
"the larger drivers and better subwoofer with the q990 are definitely better ... the sub is just that little bit more refined"

"it's performance directly related to the room size including ceiling height. ... If you're going to place it in a bigger room I suggest you to go for 990d series"
"This "passive" surround needs extra oomf to fill the room."
