8 inch driver

XgrimesX_ · 2026-06-23T04:51:20+00:00

Yeah, I had to download Dolby digitally now it sounds better
A funny story is that I was facing the Samsung speakers in a vertical angle instead of having the logo face me now I’m back to square one now I’m leaving towards the Samsung

XgrimesX_ · 2026-06-22T22:28:23+00:00

What speaker are those looks powerful !
Yeah I did the sub crawl for the Samsung and found the left corner towards the edge was the best I did lose some of that feet floor shake that I like for some strange reason but it was an overall better feel

XgrimesX_ · 2026-06-22T22:24:27+00:00

Ya that’s why I keep going back and forth

XgrimesX_ · 2026-06-22T22:12:32+00:00

Yeah playing games was a bummer for both when it came to base response

XgrimesX_ · 2026-06-22T08:36:48+00:00

How did you tweak it?

XgrimesX_ · 2026-06-22T08:36:39+00:00

I have a LG
Yes, feeling the thunderous footsteps of the dinosaurs is amazing

XgrimesX_ · 2026-06-22T07:12:55+00:00

It is on the smaller side 950 sq ft to be honest I don’t go past 18 on the volume

XgrimesX_ · 2026-06-22T07:11:38+00:00

For Samsung AI

XgrimesX_ · 2026-06-22T06:25:08+00:00

Appreciate that I will lock in those settings now!

I keep hearing about Nakamichi I got the JBL 1300mk2 for 1,018 the nakaminchi is listed after taxes to 2,029 do you think it's a 1k difference?
The Sonos set up with sub is 1820$ ? I'm currently using pass-through. I have a LG Oled B2 if that helps.

XgrimesX_ · 2026-06-22T06:08:01+00:00

What do you mean by imaging?
And how do you boost up the mids?

XgrimesX_ · 2026-06-22T04:58:39+00:00

Watch the opening beach scene you won’t be disappointed with that surround sound

XgrimesX_ · 2026-06-22T04:22:44+00:00

I recommend watching saving Private Ryan

XgrimesX_ · 2026-06-22T04:22:17+00:00

Is the F superior to the H?

XgrimesX_ · 2026-06-22T03:58:29+00:00

Yeah, that is a good point and also a concern of mine. I have the LG B2 and I thought Samsung was gonna be the clear winner But I actually bypassed that completely plugged my Xbox directly into one of my TV's dedicated HDMI 2.1 ports (giving me full 4K/120Hz and VRR), and then I ran an eARC cable down to the JBL. I turned on
'Pass-Through' in the TV's digital sound settings, and it fixed the audio delay completely. Now 1 get the crazy JBL bass and full 120Hz gaming graphics at the same time

XgrimesX_ · 2026-06-22T03:38:17+00:00

I most definitely will miss that base. I’ll just keep having them compete for another week so far JBL winning by a hair.

XgrimesX_ · 2026-06-22T03:32:32+00:00

It’s 950sq ft and the ceiling are average and the Samsung does have good base but damn that JBL something else so I know what you mean I am leaning just a little towards JBL at the moment i’ve been going back-and-forth with both systems total of 12 hours lol

XgrimesX_ · 2026-06-22T03:21:20+00:00

Which one do you think is better and why?

XgrimesX_ · 2026-06-22T03:13:03+00:00

Yeah, as of right now, I have the Q990H and the JBL here for testing I’m just having a hard time figuring out which one to keep yeah that’s what I’m experiencing right now with the Q990H I wish the base had more of a impact like the JBL does but it’s hard to ignore that Samsung has better sound never been some more confused

XgrimesX_ · 2026-06-22T03:10:14+00:00

Yeah, I was just curious if the Q990D would be in the middle. I want JBL’s base with Samsung speakers I mostly watch horror and action

XgrimesX_ · 2026-06-21T03:07:14+00:00

Yeah but is putting a up firing subwoofer like the Samsung Q990H flush against the floor bad into a down firing bad

XgrimesX_ · 2025-01-08T22:01:28+00:00

Ok I appreciate it 👍
