I started this journey with the Vizio p514 Elevate and I was beyond disappointed. I was looking for a refined full soundstage, something that sounded warm and balanced. Would fill a room and not break the bank. And boy did i find it! The Samsung HW-Q800b is EVERYTHING I could have asked for. Its brilliantly mixed on adaptive mode, although there isnt a single mode that sounds bad. I was able to pick up the bar (open box-excellent) the rear speaker kit sw9500 separately (open box-excellent) all for roughly $750. I would ABSOLUTELY recommend the rear speaker kit, bringing the channels to 9.1.2. I was worried our space would be too small & we would sit too close for them to blend in but they are beautifully mixed and disappear until they’re needed. I find myself thinking “oh that was really nice” when Atmos content comes behind or above you but otherwise forget they are there which is PERFECT! For what I paid I am on top of the world. But hear me out, I WOULD BE JUST AS SATISFIED AT FULL PRICE with the quality of this kit. It is an absolute must. Samsung really put out a gem. All in all we could not be happier, I will forever shop Samsung sound bars after this experience. If you’re looking at Vizio, Lg & even sonos for that matter, STOP. This bar will make you happy for years to come, just get the rear speaker kit. You can’t beat 9.1.2 for $1300 full price out in my case about $750

This sound bar has been amazing. I wanted to wait a while before writing a review but I've had this sound bar for about a year. It's amazing sound quality and works well with my samsung tv. Couldn't ask for anything better. The sub just adds the icing ontop with deep booming bass.

Great pairing with a Samsung TV making full use of Q Symphony. Impressive sound immersion and booming base.

I have tested this sound system for a week and I am very impressed with the surround sound separation in the sound from speaker to speaker and the subwoofer has excellent power rubble in action seems. I added the rear speakers to get the best sound experience and they did not disappoint. Voices are clearer and makes listening such a pleasure. My family room is so much more fun to hear sports movies music and even the news is so much more enjoyable and entertaining. I also like that I can adjust my soundbar settings with my cellphone as well as the remote.. Because of the easy wireless connection there was no problem with hookup. Price was not on sale but was OK. It's a good system and it comes with a plethora of feathers that works well with my Samsung Q TV. A good buy. I am happy with my purchase.

Looks great sound good as well. The only draw back is the wireless rear speakers are $300.
