    I bought this to use with a Samsung TV and its Q-Symphony feature. I am very pleased with the outcome. The spatial presence is very expansive while dialog clarity is front, center and very good thanks to the dedicated center driver. Bass present enough to satisfy but not heavy.

    It is murder to set up. The instructions are not very helpful..or instructive. Hooking it up and understanding the garbeld voice on the unit is a bit daunting.

    Could Have Better User Interface

    The sound bar performs OK by itself. I was hoping for better bass response - will probably get the SWA-W510 subwoofer. The visual feedback for adjusting sound controls (treble, bass, EQ, modes, tec.) is disappointing - even with an HMDI eARC interface to the Samsung OLED 4K TV.

    This is a pretty decent soundbar. Solid bass for not having a subwoofer, and voices are pretty clear. I have this hooked up to my 43" Samsung Q60A, and I've had a pretty good experience with it.

    Easy set up and great sound. I was using a Kenmore soundbar from 2000. To adjust the volume, the separate remote was required. A nightmare when late at night and you’re trying to sleep and the sound increase without warning.
