I agree that the room makes a big difference in the acoustic quality. I purchased an Ambeo plus two weeks ago. As a sound bar it sounds great. Added a SVS B 1000 pro sub to toss one and this baby shines. But, maybe because of my room shape and high ceilings, I really don't feel the sound is encompassing. But the quality of of audio itself is great. But when I keep reading these comments it does confuse me and makes me wonder if I should get one that has rear surrounds as well. With Ambeo plus ➕ you can't add. Seriously thinking about JBL 1300 MK ll

Ambeo plus is an excellent bar but it doesn’t have the option for future rear speakers just so you know. If you’re okay with that, then it’s close between it and the arc ultra, but you can add a aftermarket sub in the future and it also has dts:x which Sonos doesn’t. Probably a better choice but it’s close. Ambeo makes good soundbars so good luck. I think it comes with a 2 year warranty instead of the usual one year warranty that most come with, but I could be wrong. Still a solid choice

Mini sucks for the price. The 5.1.4 sounds ammmmazing but its expensive as hell. If you have a bigger space, other options are better

Q990D is definitely and absolutely not even remotely close to, "the best out there". Not sure where you're getting your info from but the Legacy Audio Legacy Soundbar, the Bang & Olufsun Beosound Premiere/Theater, the Bowers & Wilkins Devialet Dione, the KEF XIO, and the Senheisser Ambeo Plus/Max, all destroy the measly Q990D and it isn't even a competition.
