I like “tight” sounding bass vs boom and rattle, so I chose the F. The Rtings reviews effectively place them equal. Just decide which sound you prefer and pull the trigger, you won’t be disappointed either way.
We love our new Q990F. It is so much more than just a soundbar. We also have a new Samsung TV and like the “Q Symphony” feature that links the TV speakers with the soundbar. Also really like the built in Homethings Hub and Alexa capabilities built into the Q990, we use these to control home automation, and Ring cameras and Ring Alarm.

Hurry and get it. I already got this. Sounds awesome.
Q990 for me to complement that TV! You can pick up the latest model for just under $1k on Woot, it’s a superb piece of kit OP

I think I’m one of the few whose impressed with music in Surround Mode, I have my Q990 on auto EQ and tweaked some channel levels based on my room. It’s definitely a different sort of sound to a 2.1 system but in terms of the “surround bubble” it for sure ticks that box ✅
Also not a huge fan of Atmos music, those CD quality (High on Tidal) and HiRes (Max on Tidal) work the best IMO. I’ve found giving the soundbar as much audio bitrate as you can leads to a better surround upmix.
Agree on all counts man! Soundbars USP is the surround bubble and that’s what it does, and really well too. Surround mode makes it feel like being a concert and what’s not to love about that?
I don't understand, you bought the best soundbar in that price range and returned. Jbl will not be as good. You should have stuck with 990d and if you really hate the music on it so much, then get something dedicated for music. I am sorry, but I have been reading for a while and 990d/f are the top in that price range
Q990f owner here. If you are comparing to cinema or a dedicated 7.1 system with an amplifier, of course this is not going to reach those levels. People who love this soundbar, like me, compare it to other soundbars. In that case its pretty darn good.
For the subwoofer placement, place a box or chair on the sofa where you sit to watch movies, place the subwoofer in the position where your head would be, play your fav bassy song, then crawl around the room. The place where you will hear the best bass, place the subwoofer there. Worked great for me and in my room it is actually not near the tv and not behind the couch, but at the side wall midway inbetween couch and TV. Good luck!
