i got it for £600 during last year's Black Friday sale. Still, that's not cheap . Before that, I had a Yamaha YAS-209. max output was not enough sometimes. but on Q990D, i never had to put more than 30 to watch movies. once i tried 50 , the whole house was rumbling, and i thought it would damage the house. I am sure there are many other soundbars capable of doing the same or performing better than the Q990D; definitely none of them are cheaper
I use the Yamaha YAS-209 and it works well, no problems to report
This is the reason I love Yamaha YAS-209. 0 haters.
Haha, thanks, man. Upgrading from an old Yamaha Yas-209. best system I ever had!
[https://usa.yamaha.com/products/audio\_visual/sound\_bar/yas-209/index.html](https://usa.yamaha.com/products/audio_visual/sound_bar/yas-209/index.html) Yamaha does very well. I got one for my wife's TV and I've been impressed with it. This is an older one but I'd check to see the newer models.
I had a cheapie JBL for a week then picked up a cheap Yamaha YAS on marketplace, and very quickly gave away the JBL. Had to change sound modes on the JBL constantly for clarity depending on the source.
