I just got an 801D which supports Q-symphony, but realized my 2020 Frame doesn't support it. I think I missed it by a year 😅
I'm using the Samsung 801D. The 800d is the black version and currently on and on Woot.
I have the Samsung 801D paired with the 9500S rear speaker kit and it's great 👍🏻
I use a Samsung 801d with rear speaker kit. I'm sure it's not the best or most expensive setup, but it works well for our living room.
Samsung 800 / 801D. Then you can grab the rear Atmos speaker kit when you get a few extra bucks.

I bought a samsung s90d a few months ago and am using its stand which is very similar but a normal soundbar wouldn’t fit in front because it is too tall. I ended up with a samsung s700d soundbar+sub and a set of 9200s rear speakers for full surround. If you have enough width you could do the s800d which has upfiring speakers too but with my stand the tv is on it would’ve hung off. I use it with qsymphony since my tv is also samsung and it sounds great
The s700/s800d are only 1.5” tall so they will fit in front without blocking view
Can confirm the s800 is a great choice . We love ours going on 3 years. Think i paid $250 on amazon for it
Samsung S800D/S801D with SWA9500S rear speaker kit would possibly be your best option. They also do these skins, but neither colour really match the wood for you, unfortunately. https://preview.redd.it/qw1x7s9spq9g1.jpeg?width=1079&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=04cabe6ff7876b093df9a03c5726ffa6612f28c5
Samsung Soundbar for Frame is the best option. You can use SmartThings app to tweak and update. Other than that it is faily set it up once and you are done kind of world.
That soundbar is going to block the bottom of the screen. I have an 83" B4 with the same stand as yours. Get out your measuring tape and see. Google samsung slim soundbar to find a model that will fit. I got the s800d and am happy with it. Huge improvement over the tv speakers.
Had a similar issue but couldn't find anything we really liked. Ended up caving and doing a Samsung Ultra Slim soundbar, the profile on it is very small compared regular ones and more in line with the Frame thickness. Something like an S800D could be paired with 9500S for the wireless rear speakers. More generically without a soundbar, Sonos Era and Sub via Bluetooth would be what your looking for though I have no idea how good it sounds.
