The Q990H carries on the Q990 recipe: a main bar, a wireless subwoofer and two rear speakers with height drivers, with Samsung's latest tuning and TV integration. Reviewers called it the best one-purchase surround system you can buy, with five-star scores across the board; the setup still takes over a room.
