HW-Q930C

I followed some advice on here with my similar LG CS and bought a black lack shelf from IKEA to lift the TV. The black shelf blends in to the sound bar pretty well, and I think it actually looks okay. I'm using it with a q930c, but a q990 would hide it even more.

I have two Samsung Soundbars...a Q990B and a Q930C. Yes, I'd say they are the most popular, along with the Sony Bravia Theatre Quad. The Samsung soundbars are probably the most popular because they not only sound great but they are also often heavily discounted - and they retain the previous years model. For example, you can get a Q990D for $750 if you have access to EPP discounts.

I have q930c in the bedroom, and it's more than adequate. The 990 series does sound better but only when you are really listening for the differences. The 930 is still a great system. If you go 990, I'd probably stick to the d model. If you can get a C model then that's fine, but at the moment the choice is generally d or f.

Some good advice here. I also always liked to point out that it's not just two extra channels. It's five extra speakers in total. Also, someone else pointed out the drivers are larger all around and this means that even at the same volume, the q990 will sound slightly clearer/better. More importantly, I always like to emphasise the point that the soundbars are significantly different size wise. Here is a picture of both together. All that said, if you don't hear both of them together, you'll likely be more than happy with a q930, so to some extent it comes down to how much that difference in money is to you, and how much do you think you would notice marginal differences in sound quality. https://preview.redd.it/knk4jlc54o2g1.png?width=1080&format=png&auto=webp&s=38892953017ce84f990ba9e45465eddae5999471

Thanks for the credit. Don't actually remember exactly what I said last time, but I do believe that in this situation it's actually an advantage to go for the q930 over the q990. There is a lot of flexibility to be had from not having the rear side speakers which restrict the orientation you can put them in. If you go with the q930 you can actually put the rear speakers behind the outside edges of the headboard facing outwards towards the corners and they will project the sound to where you want it to be sounding like it's coming from. Alternatively you can put them outside of the bed headboard pointing diagonally backwards but I think having seen these pictures your curtains may absorb the sound and stop it from being able to reflect off the wall behind you.

That's where I think the Q930 is a winner. Whilst it's a full set, you should be able to make it work like I've described, but worst case scenario you can use it without the rears or with the rears at the front in front mode. Around this time, with the H series incoming, there should soon be some amazing bargains to be had on the Q930F.
