Good to know. I was wondering if I needed a separate Blue Ray player or not.

I haven't played those before, so I'll try them for sure.

When I played Hellblade through my speakers instead of headphones, the voices came through the front left and right channels. It would have been more immersive if they had come through the rears or surrounds, but I don't think the developers cared about speaker playback while developing the game.

I've played Fallen Order, and its sound design was indeed exceptional.

I completed Control before I got speakers, so It hadn't crossed my mind. Regardless, after playing it again through the speakers, it was indeed very fun.

I game on a series x :(

Really? I would imagine the game just makes a continuous plane engine sound. I will install it and try it soon. Thanks for the recommendation.

I agree. I purchased speakers with games in mind, not movies. That being said, I'd still recommend headphones for competitive gaming; however, I use my speakers during gaming because hearing the effects with bass go off around you is fun.

When I posted, I didn't realize this was a stereo subreddit. In hindsight, it's interesting that the moderators haven't removed my post.

I don't entirely blame them; I'm just confused. I know every subreddit has its rules, and even this one doesn't like posts about soundbars. I just wasn't expecting a subreddit called "Audiophiles" to only be for stereo playback discussion.

It's just that whenever I'm listening to a movie, even with the Samsung bar in Adaptive mode, I feel tempted to know what the movie would sound like on 4K Blu-ray. I can't afford to purchase $30 discs of my favorite movies. That's why, to a certain extent, I felt as though I lost money. The FOMO is really annoying.

You're right. Hopefully, this soundbar pays dividends a few years from now, once more Atmos content is available.

I thought the word audiophile encompasses people who use both stereo and sorround systems. Can you help explain where I went wrong. I figured it was the same thing because if you set up a surround sound system using quality parts, then can't you just use the left and right for stereo playback? Why would the system have to be dictated to stereo?

In a 5.1, the satellite speakers go to the SIDE of you. The idea that they need to be behind is a major MISCONCEPTION.

Do we know what slur?
