"I don’t need a system that cost $5000 to meet what my $1500 split over my 2 systems does. ... Best of both worlds for easily 25% the total price of a Dolby 11.1.4 klipsche system or what not"
"Samsung is the best performance to price for full Dolby Atmos with surrounds and upward firing."
"for value and being very good / excellent in many areas, it’s the best proposition."

"After I got it set up, put the bass enhancement on and played Bangarang by Skrillex. About 20 seconds later my fiancée comes down and says “IT SOUNDS LIKE A NIGHTCLUB IN HERE!” ... So suffice to say, it more than does its job for us. ... has more than enough bass for when you want it ... Watched some shows and movies on it over the weekend and it’s more than immersive enough for us. ... it can get pretty darn loud and maintain reasonable clarity"

"The difference is like night and day compared to a Samsung soundbar. ... I have Q990D, and it is nowhere near a budget stereo system."
"they put all the drivers in the same box without isolating them ... do not expect a good sound quality from this design, it will never be."
"each channel is very forward and a bit shouty"

"I found the Q990D fatiguing listening to multichannel and atmos"
"The rear speakers are kind of dead silent most of the time. I adjusted the settings, rebalanced the center speakers, and increased the rear ones, but still, the surround effects, even for Dolby Atmos movies, are very minimal. ... the rear speakers even at full volume, they play only quiet ambient sound, especially in games ... the surround is not existing, you can lower the middle body and get close to the side speakers but its not that good either"
"a bit muddy compared to the separation of the Sonos ... the audio felt very localised to each channel ... it doesn’t sound to me like it places and separates audio throughout the room like the Sonos"

"if you are listening to a playlist which has some atmos and some non-atmos songs, when an atmos song comes on, volume will drop by about 50 percent. ... Changing volumes all the time does drive me nuts."
"the Jump from volume 9 to 10 is quite scary tbh"
"Also does it have to be volume 20-30 Can it be volume 10 haha because 20-30 with atmos content is really really really loud haha in my room"

"The bass is alright, but it feels like it ’s not rich—more like a giant WOOF than an actual good bass with a rich range that reacts to the media you're consuming. ... exaxtly, i want more bass but i want to feel the different levels from an explosion not just a big wooof that moves my table 1 inch away ... the bass is really meh"

"it’s loud and woofy but doesn’t compare to the quality of something like a Sonos or Sennhieser, or a real HT system"
