How does perform at low volumes? I read reviews saying that dialogues are not very clear at low volumes. I got got Sony (HT-S60) it works great even at low volumes.

Sony Bravia theater system 6. You can Demo them in Best Buy. Go check it out.. Enjoy!! 🫡🎄🤞
IMO one of the best choices I’ve made , the sound on movies/ shows is incredible very immersive experience with the full system . I hope you get and enjoy!! 🍻
I was going to buy this exact model for $700 buck a couple days ago at BestBuy, instead I went with the Samsung Q930D that was on clearance for $850. I'm glad I did and am loving the Q930d sound system. The one thing that held me back from getting the QS750F was that the rear speakers are wired together. I wanted an all wireless speaker system (only needing to plug them each to a power outlet). But if that is no issue, from what I've researched, the QS750F is a great buy. I think I would have been happy with it regardless but in 2026 I want my speakers to be all wireless. Another option that I actually bought but am returning is the Sony Bravia Theatre System 6. It's new and only $600 at Bestbuy. The bass hits hard with the subwoofer. I'm talking it feels 20 times more powerful than even the Q930d. My issue and reason I am returning is the rear speakers are not only wired together, they are wired to a bulky mac mini looking box. Also, the soundbar is wired to the subwoofer and all the connections go to the subwoofer. It did not feel wireless at all in any way. Oh and also with the Sony Bravia Theatre System 6, the soundbar does not have upfiring speakers on it. It makes the sound feel like its coming from a small box directly in front of you. With upfiring speakers on other soundbars, it makes the sound feel wider and more open. Overall though I think the QS750f would be a great buy. Only has 1 wire between the rear speakers, the soundbar has upfiring speakers, the subwoofer looks to be really good according to reviews. It has wireless capabilities like chromecast to it. I don't think you can go wrong with it.
Dunno about this one but my cheap old Sony DAV-TZ140 sounds better than the HT-S60 😭. I bought the HT-S60 a few days ago.
Just blindly go for the Sony HT-S60, I have one and it’s excellent! Sound is dynamic and bass is genuinely powerful. Plus you can control it with your Bravia TV remote Just one caveat is to be prepared for manual software updates via usb-c
I didn’t realize that the Sony, the Bravia ht-s60 was the Bravia 6 soundbar! Does it come with rear speakers because in the US they sell it without rears for $599-699 and with rear speakers for $799-$899. Depending on if it’s on sale. My mistake, if it comes with rears, yes get the Sony over the LG and JBL. If it comes with rears for $600 or less that’s a great price here. It gets good ratings too. I have Sony Quads that are amazing but cost $2500 US. Good luck
Yea I’d forget the one without up firing speakers as that does make a huge difference. I know what your budget is and if you don’t mind piecing a system together then I’d say do you have Costco where you live? Or can you order from there online? I say this because their previous flagship which I had the a7000 has a bar almost exactly the same but has 2 less drivers. It’s a 5.1.2 with upfiring speakers but it sadly doesn’t come with rears speakers or a sub but many people have found it produces just enough bass to satisfy them and they buy the 2 options of rear speakers that go on sale often. The bar itself is the a5000 and it used to cost $899 brand new and Costco had a huge clearance on it for $279 US. It’s an amazing sounding bar but like I said you would have to buy rears separately when you get enough to save. One is sr3 rears that don’t have upfiring and cost between $279-$399 and the rs5’s which are pretty awesome. They are $599 but go on sale for $399 on Black Friday. So that’s just a thought because the a5000 is so good you might be happy enough without rear speakers. And if you don’t mind piecing have a Costco, and don’t like it you can return it, but it kills everything on this list. Heck I paid $1299 for the a7000, $599 for the rs5 rears and $599’for the sw5 sub and just sold it all for $600 and the guy drove 5 hours to come get it and he’s loving it now going on 2 months. Sorry about this long ass story. Just don’t settle and make sure you can return it for free. Good luck my friend
