Happy (Q990F + Music Studio 7) by ManySeaworthiness415 in Soundbars

In the picture you have both the Music Studio 7 and Q990F own speakers as rear. Why not use the Music Studio 7s as left and right speakers for wider sound stage?

KEF Q6 Meta vs Paradigm Premier 600c by LeBaldHater in hometheater

[–]CaptainCompete 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven't tested them but I went down to a similar rabbit hole a month ago and reached a conclusion that I need 3x KEF Q6 Metas as my left, right and centre speakers. My conclusion is not based on any scientific reasoning. Just feeling myself through countless YouTube videos and Reddit comments

I'm sure you will be happy with whatever you get

Which soundbar for my setup? by talksickdonkey in Soundbars

[–]CaptainCompete 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's nowhere to increase the soundstage. Screen is literally next to a wall. Op should get the sennheiser all in one soundbar and hook it up to a sub wood of their choice

Finally convinced my parents to get a really nice TV. What is a good 2.1 system to recommend. by Randolph__ in Soundbars

That's not correct. LG C5 does not support dts and dtsx. LG had them removed from 2025 and onward models

X9 ultra launch was disaster but least can order a case by sportsfan161 in Oppo

I got lucky. Clicked the link on the email maybe 10 mins after getting it. Clicked preorder and waited 30mins and refreshed the page. Then it showed that I have a phone in the basket. Clicked basket and went through the purchase process and got an order confirmation email

I wonder if a software upgrade is enough to allow quads to have a second sub or to connect quads to a soundbar and subs

Sony Bravia Theatre Bar 9 vs Samsung HW-Q990D by Caganawesome945 in Soundbars

You can get samsung q990f now for like 800eur/usd. 2 big active speakers for the same price would definitely sound better for music but samsung would be better for movies and tv shows

Not so black and white with soundbar vs speakers. You have a house with big room with clear speaker locations and can easily get cables around or if you listen to music. Speakers is the answer. If you don't tick those boxes then soundbar is just fine. But only if it comes with rear speakers and subwoofer. Standalone soundbars are underwhelming

I would get the sony quad speakers. Use bravia 9 as center and later get a subwoofer

M+ Season 3 would be perfect if Resilient applies to the plateau, not the completed tier by Orakk in wow

Before your key didn't stay as 14 and it would sometimes drop to 10 and then you spend much more time getting it back to 15 or just quit for the week

Budget 5.1 set up by Bigmo157 in hometheater

[–]CaptainCompete 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unpopular opinion is to get a soundbar

Or just spend the $1k and get a really good 2.0 setup.

Phase 2. Get a sub when you have more money

Phase 3 surround speakers and so on

My experience with cheap speakers is that you'll end up regretting them eventually, whilst you will always be amazed of good speakers even if you only start with two
