waste of $1000 if you think you're actually going to have any sort of positive Dolby Atmos experience from a soundbar. Do it properly, and use properly positioned passive speakers, a receiver, and a good powered sub or two. Build over time if you can't buy it all at once.
Why do all threads have a similar comment? Yes, people can buy a receiver and passive speakers, but maybe they don't want a massive receiver in their living room. Me for example, I have a 7.2.2 setup in my basement and I can hide my receiver in a media room. But in my living room, I prefer a soundbar. Is the Dolby Atmos as good? Definitely not! But it's better than other soundbars. This soundbar, I would not get because I prefer to have rear-firing wireless speakers as well.
Agreed, I don't want to be bothered with all the wiring ,positioning plus I have no space for that. My tinkering days are somewhat in the past and I just want something straightforward and I don't care that it's simulated but I do care that it's a thousand bucks which I wouldn't pay.AnshumanB876667 wrote: ↑ Why do all threads have a similar comment?

Hi, can you link me to a Dolby Atmos 7.1.2 system for 1000$? Thanks
That's easy, actually. There are *a ton* of low cost but decent and even good speakers that would fit this bill (5.1.2 and even 7.1.2 with good BF sales) along with a good receiver deal. Speakers like the Pioneer SP-BS22A-LR when in stock, etc and a good deal on Gibby's B-Stock when in stock, etc. $800 and lower and it gets more difficult but $1,000 is relatively easy if you spend the time and effort.
I got it for $1398 a few weeks ago from VIsions!Goose12345 wrote: ↑ Q950T which is this plus included rear surrounds is listed at 1600 everywhere for BF .. reckon if you go to vision can knock off a couple hundred more? Seems like a better deal for those looking
It seems like there's some annoying reliability issues with this year's Samsung soundbars. But really social media seems to have a huge bias towards Sonos fwiw.
I built my 7.2.2 a few years ago and by buying either B-Stock or scrounging used on Kijiji, I got everything set up for under $1500.Elrondolio wrote: ↑ That's easy, actually.

That's not to say a soundbar doesn't have its place... simply that $1,000 could indeed get you a better sounding Atmos setup if you had the room and desire.
Yeah, $1,500 opens up a lot more options and, if willing to look on the used market, you could setup a pretty great system. But even at lower prices you could setup a decent 5.1.4 for $700+ if you put in a little effort. Something like the Monoprice Premium 5.1.4 would get you most of the way there, but again, there are a plethora of options out there.AnshumanB876667 wrote: ↑ I built my 7.2.2 a few years ago and by buying either B-Stock or scrounging used on Kijiji, I got everything set up for under $1500.
I have limited space so floor standing and bookshelf speakers will not work.
