And again, no upfiring rear speakers, these fake audio channel systems really shouldn't qualify for the Atmos sticker.
I also agree that the new generation of Atmos sound bars are extremely good for effects etc, they do sometimes lack thumping deep bass which you'd get from bigger speakers, subwoofers and amplifiers etc but this comes at the expense of room esthetics and higher costs.I agree with @Igans316. The Samsung flagship soundbars that I own have convincing overhead effects. Fit my space well and I can also enjoy Atmos / DTS:X.
I think that overall, it looks promising for a single box solution. It will be interesting to see how it reviews. My only real concern is its width. If I read the specs. correctly it’s 1.3m, which I suspect will be too big for many potential users, me included. I’ll just have to wait for the reviews, but as it stands, it’s on my list …

I have the sony htzf 9 with rears and would agree, no complaints over sound, I found the bass overpowering on it and had to dial it down.Disagree. I have owned powerful separates and the sound from modern day soundbars is not fake.
I now have Samsung Q950a and would like you to check it. I am amazed by how good and immersive it sounds.
My main concern with soundbar system is the missing deep bass. If this issue is addressed then I will be happy to stick to soundbars on a permanent basis.
I too was under the same impression misled by the hardcore separates crowd but after trying, I am now starting to appreciate the fact that soundbars have come a long way.
If you live in small to medium sized rooms with low flat ceiling, soundbars are almost perfect.
The Samsung measures 123cm, perfect under a 65" Wall mounted or stand.That's 130 cm, roughly the width of Samsung soundbars and 24 cms less than LG soundbars.
I prefer wider soundbars as you get nice separation (on paper) from LCR channels.

On the main unit, not the rear speakers and that's part of the appeal of such a system. Samsung, LG, JBL have upfiring rears on their systems so it stands out when a company claims a "Dolby Atmos" system yet doesnt cover one of the core features of the format.Reading the specs there are upfiring speakers
