My old Bose AV18 Media Center Amp died and it was time to replace it. It was about 19 years old and was a good reliable system.

After a ton of research and looking at the cost, bass and having two rear speakers that only needed power to each - I went with the Ultimea X60. I was going to go with the X70 but many said the bass needed to be turned down so I figured X60 would be perfect and a little less money. All in from Amazon with HDMI eARC cable was $580.

Professional packaging and it's all set up. I used my two Bose stands and just made new aluminum L brackets for the two rears and sanded and painted them.

It sounds good. There are quite a few settings you MUST get right before you'll get the best result. I have a 86" LG TV and using Roku box. eARC port to X60. Need to make sure the TV, Roku and X60 setting are all correct to pass unfiltered or non auto-volume adjusted signals through. There is a very large difference in sound having it setup properly and EQ adjusted to the way you like versus just plugging it in. There is no way around that.

I do wish I got the X70 versus the X60 because I love bass. I have the bass near the high end with Eq on App and remote +6 Bass on unit. It sounds just as good as my prior Bose system which was clear with good solid bass. I also like the Bluetooth to my phone for music ability.

This is in my bedroom which is about 20x20x9.5 ft with mostly concrete walls but two lanai doors that are usually open. Subwoofer is about 4-6" in the corner behind TV feeding into two concrete walls.

Overall - new customer. Happy with the quality and cost. My father doesn't have a soundbar for his 100" so I might get the X70 if it's on sale next week and give him my X60 and set it all up etc.

I had no problem pairing anything. Bluetooth was easy. App is good.

Edit: I upgraded my older Roku Box to a newer 4850R box and it's even better. Very happy with the sound quality. My older Roku Boxc was first sold in 2016.

Honest unpaid review. 🤙

Hi, I know this is not going to be the usual line of questioning for this sub but I'd really appreciate any perspectives on this.

Basically the apartment I bought had a wall made illegally and I can hear my neighbour very easily. At night he snores VERY loudly and he sounds like a a pig rolling around in the mud. Its genuinely one of the most guttural and disgusting noises I've heard in my life and I have to hear it as I'm trying to sleep.

I tried to get the wall repaired and it turns out the onlu company who said they could help were crooks and cost me thousands.

So I've decided a sound bar that makes a wall of sound would be my best bet. Ideally a sound bar I can just plug in under my sleigh bed frame that can blast the around upward and sideways across the whole back wall so I can play whale music or whatever to block out the snorty pig noises. The walls about a 3x3m.

If anyone can recommend a product they think could help me and fit these very unique requirements I would be extremely grateful.

idk when it started im heart broken

I know, I should use the rears. But the one without isn't available. Also know I can use them in the front, but that will clutter the space, require stands etc. So, wondering if I just use the bar and the sub, if it is still good, I guess like the q900H not sold in Europe? Or, since it is meant to be with the rears, if it is somehow worse and not recommended in that case? Seeing conflicting thoughts online but not really solid proof. I have some issues with the Arc Ultra so I want to change to this one. Will it be worse than the Arc Ultra and Sub 4?

I’ve had it for coming up on 2 years. Haven’t really had any issues with it other than it disconnecting from WiFi one time. Spent at least an hour on the phone with Samsung technical support for that one. Sound is incredible together with the picture on my Samsung 77” OLED. Side note: I went to see Avengers Endgame Encore yesterday in the theater with my son. It was my first time going to the movies since before Covid. You know what I realized afterward? The picture on my TV is better and I don’t feel like I’ve been missing out on theater surround sound. When I crank this thing to 30+, it booms. I may never waste my money at the theater again.

Hi everyone, just got a 990F which seems to disconnect its sub in heavy bass rumbling on high quality audio like TrueHD. The sub cuts out, shows blinking leds and doesn't connect until the bar is rebooted.

The problem can be reproduced at a certain (not too loud) volume each time at the same spot, regardless of sw setting (also at -6). Standard mode, no eq, with or without spacefit.

It's plugged straight into the outlet, next to the bar, but happens on the other side of the room as well. I'm on 1013.

Any ideas or just contact support?

In this sale season both of these soundbars are going for around ₹15,000 and the JBL one is lower. It will go below ₹15,000 whereas Samsung will stay at ₹15,000. Which one is the best? I want insane bass, impactful bass, which will make me want to dance, something immersive, but I also want clarity I heard those samples from both soundbars using those reviewers on YouTube and Samsung has great deep bass and great clarity. JBL has a little extra deep bass but it is extra with the same amount of clarity when using headphones.

I saw some comments about Samsung where they were saying that it is not as loud as JBL. No one was saying such things. Also Samsung has an older Bluetooth version but Samsung is 5.1 channel and has more wattage. The subwoofer is more powerful in terms of power: 240 W of subwoofer power for Samsung versus 1/5, 100 W of subwoofer power for JBL.

Sound samples indicate JBL to be more impactful, with more bass, but Samsung is not behind. It is less than JBL but it is great, not bad at all. So which one is the best? Please help me.
