Thank you for the review! I have the Q 990 C and I bloody love that thing! If you have a cheap Soundbar and you move to this thing it's a beast... it's unbelievable it's like you're in a movie theater.
Yeah I was surprised on how good it sounded. And I didn't even know Standard mode limited the channels. Sounds even more immersive in Surround mode now taking full advantage of the 11.1.4 now.
@@sujanpradhan9580 I think the Q990D sounds good with music. The bass feels tight and not as boomy as I thought it would like my Onkyo subwoofer. You can always EQ the setup based on your music genre.
I also have this same model. Best purchase i've made in many years. When you connect your Spotify app with the bar, it will makes use of all speakers and it sounds amazing.
@@jarvis541 I would assume they made the drivers per the Dolby Atmos setup for a 5.1 system as shown at link. www.dolby.com/siteassets/about/support/guide/setup-guides/5.1-virtual-speakers-setup/5_1_virtual_speaker_setup.pdf
Active voice amplifier should only kick in, if it detects noises in your house over a certain db, such as a vacuum cleaner - it will boost the centre speaker. Good review 👍
@@aussiecoastie72 yeah it surprised me how well it sounds compared to a 5.1.4 system. Only thing is my 5.1.4 has a 21” sub and 2 bass shakers in the couch so hard to compare haha
I haven’t heard the differences but watched Stop the FOMO’s video to see the comparisons and I would say the price difference between the two is probably not justifiable. If you need the 4k120hz pass through for gaming, then maybe it would be worth it.
id say if you want the 120hz while gaming get that but right now on amazon its $1700 while the C is $970. As of 7/1/2024. I game but i cant justify paying 800 more dollars for the 4k 120hz
@@Bloodstryke I have them mounted on 3rd party speaker stands. They come with some adhesive pads . I didn’t take the sticker portion off since I don’t see anyone bumping into them on accident since they are against the wall. a.co/d/0cBAGUlT
Interesting. You are correct. Manual says 7.1.4 for Standard mode. You only get 11.1.4 with the other sound modes. I’ll probably switch to Surround mode then.
I have a 21” sub downstairs in the corner and can’t tell really where it’s coming from with an 80hz crossover, which is the most common crossover frequency to avoid subwoofer localization. I tried crossover at 100-120hz for the 21” downstairs and could start telling where bass was coming from during some content. Different room and slab vs 2nd floor, so maybe that plays a factor too. Typically, I’d think you probably want the sub in the corner, so your bass is louder with wall reinforcement. I moved the 21” subwoofer downstairs around the whole living room (including near field behind sofa) and ended up 3 feet from front left corner. Used REW and UMIK to do the frequency sweeps.
Terrible comment. The irony is lost on you. What’s your reason for this comment? I personally think it’s a good review with a lot of specific setting suggestions which are helpful to ignorant peeps like myself. He could go with a mic though. And I don’t really need to see the guy while showing things on the tv. I’d rather hear him more clearly and see the tv closer up.
