Buying call

The Q950T pairs a bar with side- and up-firing drivers with a wireless sub and two rear speakers, for 9.1.4 channels. It handles Atmos and DTS:X and makes height effects genuinely audible. Reviewers called it one of the best soundbar systems of 2020; it lacks the 4K 120Hz passthrough newer consoles want.
