The Samsung HW-Q990D/XL is built for people who want cinema at home — not just loudness but true surround.

SpaceFit Sound Pro automatically tunes the system to your room, balancing bass and treble so dialogue stays crisp even at higher volumes.

Sony’s HT-S20R brings that proper theatre-like punch most compact bars can’t match. It runs on a true 5.1 setup soundbar in front, two small rear speakers, and a dedicated subwoofer that handles the heavy lifting. With 400 watts of output and Dolby Digital support, the sound feels more spacious, especially in action scenes or concert tracks where direction matters. Vocals stay clear even when the bass hits hard, and the surround effect actually feels authentic — not just simulated. You can stream music easily via Bluetooth or plug a USB directly if you’ve got old mixes lying around. Setup is simple: connect the cables, pick your mode, and it’s ready. Overall, this one’s for people who want the “cinema at home” vibe without going overboard on high-end setups.
