    Thank you for your great review! I just bought this soundbar and it works great, even with a TV 12+ years old. Took me some time to get it right though, but with an alternative setup, I have Dolby Digital Plus for my TV and Netflix shows and Dolby Atmos for my PS5. Trick is to attach the TV receiver box from the provider (KPN in the Netherlands) to a HDMI switch and the PS5 as well to the same switch. The HDMI switch itself is connected to the HDMI (not the ARC port!) of the soundbar. And the soundbar is connected with the ARC port to the ARC port of the TV. All I have to do is to set the HDMI switch right (to tv/Netflix or the PS5). Reason for this specific setup is that the TV doesn't support passthrough of the received audio signal, and when I connected the TV receiver directly to the TV, it down processed the audio signal to stereo pcm. But with the alternative setup it works great! Of course, a new TV is better, but not viable for now.

    Just received yhis from Amazon at £350. I am shocked at the lack of width and soundstage. Good clarity in mids and top frequencies but boomy bass lacks tight punch. No point keeping this if it cannot deliver movement in soundstage or discerning left and right placement of sound. It's going back.

Having set it up on a new Samsung 75” QN85C today and tested it extensively, I’m happy to report that my expectations were wildly exceeded. If this is what $499 sounds like, my goodness gracious, I’m here for it! Q-Symphony is real, friends! The voice enhancing feature is clutch, too, for those whose hearing isn’t what it once was.
