The most complete out-of-the-box home theatre — true 11.1.4 with wireless sub and rear speakers, four physical up-firing channels, two HDMI inputs, and Q-Symphony. Buy it for a dedicated room where you can place all four boxes.
The Samsung HW-Q990D is the most complete home-theatre-in-a-box here — a true 11.1.4 system with a large wireless subwoofer and two wireless rear speakers that have their own up-firing and side-firing drivers. Out of the box it produces a genuinely enveloping surround field with real overhead height, not a virtualised approximation. Two HDMI inputs plus eARC let it switch a console and a streamer for you, and Q-Symphony plays it in concert with a compatible Samsung TV's speakers. The cost is four wireless boxes to place and power, rears tied to Samsung's ecosystem, and a roughly $1,000–$1,200 price. Buy it for a dedicated room where the surrounds can go where they belong.
Pros
- True 11.1.4 with wireless sub and rear speakers included
- Four physical up-firing channels for real overhead effects
- Two HDMI inputs — switches sources like a receiver
- Q-Symphony adds the TV's speakers to the soundstage
Cons
- Four boxes to place and power behind seating
- Rear speakers locked to Samsung's ecosystem
