Very in depth review like always. Well done. I'm really torn between going the Q800C+SWA-9500S satellites for ~650€ or the q990c for 840€. I currently have a Q600A, which has done its job well enough, but the lack of an e-arc port + surrounds has been somewhat annoying, specially when dealing with high bitrate atmos content. Thanks, keep that awesome work rolling! :)
@TotallydubbedHD7 ай бұрын
Thanks, glad you enjoyed it! Honestly, I'd suggest considering the JBL Bar 800 over the Samsung 800c + rears (should work out cheaper). But the 800c + rears is a good combo too. Of course if you have the budget the 990c will be far superior in every department over both of them.
@lordlucfz6 ай бұрын
Main issue is that i've never had the experience with a JBL product and im comfy enough with the Samsungs, specially considering that i'll probably end up going for a QD-Oled Samsung TV in the future. The JBL is a bit more expensive than the Q800 paired with the rears too. :) Plus, as you mention in your vid, theres no height sound on those rear speakers. ^^''@@TotallydubbedHD

@lordlucfz6 ай бұрын
Yep ^^ From all that i've read until now, Q-Symphony does seem to help with the overall sound. So, i ended up with the q990c, its a bigger investment than i was thinking but in the end, i think it will be worth it! :) Thank you for the help, and keep up the awesome work! Subscribed.

I'm not sure if I should buy this soundbar or the Samsung Q930C. In my country, the JBL Bar 800 is a little "cheaper" than the Q930C, but the JBL one doesn't have a DTS codec (the JBL Bar 1000 has it, but it's a lot more expensive). Does the fact that the JBL Bar 800 doesn't have DTS still make it worth buying? Or will I miss the DTS codec?
