I purchased the Samsung S800B when it was on sale sometime last year for about 300 dollars, normally around 550, and I recently purchased the samsung 9500s rear speakers to make a surround sound system for my room. I'm sure there are other set ups that offer better performance, but I've had nothing but a great experience with the pairing. I watch a lot of movies/shows with Dolby atmos, and the top speakers of the rear system make arrows sound like their coming above. Great for gaming as well, though the top speakers might not offer a lot due to using the gaming sound mode the tv offers.
If you want sub 40hz bass, don't get the 600F. Try to find a Q800D (NOT 800F). I say the 800D cause they changed the subwoofer on the 800F and honestly downgraded it. The new subwoofer is the sub from their slim soundbar series. I've had the S800B (slim soundbar) & the Q800B and the Q800B subwoofer was without question the better subwoofer by far. The 800F subwoofer will still sound alright, it just won't play as deep or as loud.
Samsung HW-S800B (or HW-S80CB/ZA model for Costco) is 4 cm tall with a separate sub and optical in. It's not sold anymore but I see it for sale on eBay for \~$400 or I'd probably take a chance on the $150 refurb here: https://www.ebay.com/itm/136833175426. Oops, ignore this if you don't have room for the sub.

Value for movies and easy setup, but music falls flat.
