Does anyone have any opinions on the HW-MS650 vs newer sound bars. I have this soundbar and earlier this year thought I'd upgrade to the q800t from 2020. Wow, I was so underwhelmed by the lack of mid frequencies from the soundbar that I returned it and tried the Sony ZF9. I quite liked that bar, certainly better to my ears than the Samsung q800t. However, I couldn't help but feel, once again that the mids and overall depth of sound was lacking compared to the HW-MS650. I sold the Sony and tried the Panasonic SCHTB-900 whichp was the closest to the MS650 for overall sound quality. I then brought the MS-650 downsta from storage to directly compare against the Panny and ended up returning the SCHTB-900. Brilliant soundbar but just couldn't help thinking the 650 was just that bit better. I then decided to use the cash to buy the SWA-w700 subwoofer for the MS650 and well, WOW!!! The sonic experience is amazing. Crisp highs, meaty mids and literally wall shaking bass. My son recently purchased the HW-Q900T soundbar which sounds pretty good, but in my opinion no where as rich as the MS650. Anyone else have an opinion?
