Samsung Sound Bars

TheWai

Hello!

 

I just ordered a Samsung QN90A TV for my apartment and was looking for a sound bar to pair with it. I'm considering the following models:

  1. Samsung HW-A650 ($499 CAD)
  2. Samsung HW-Q60T ($699)
  3. Samsung HW-Q600A ($799)
  4. Samsung HW-Q700A ($899)

 

At first, I only wanted to spend about ~$600, but I heard the Q700A at a Best Buy today and was blown away. I know these usually go on sale especially close to Black Friday, so I'm hoping to get them for lower than the prices listed above. I have the following questions:

  • Does QSymphony really make a difference? If it's not a big deal, I might consider going with the A650 and save some money
  • I haven't heard the Q600A before. Is this significantly worse than the Q700A?
  • How comparable is the Q60T's sound quality to the Q600A?

 

Thanks in advance!

I don't really have any opinions on the ones you've listed, but I find Andrew Robinson is an excellent reviewer of sound gear. Plus he's done extensive testing of many different setups, so he has a lot to base his findings on. His channel: https://www.youtube.com/c/AndrewRobinsonphoto

Pretty sure he's reviewed a lot of the Samsung stuff.

 

Whatever you get, make sure it's Atmos.
