im not speaking of the hieght channels how is the overall quality of audio with a soundbar compaired to bookshelf speakers like fedelity quality audio pureness how hifi is a soundbar idk how many more buzz words i can use
The only difference I noticed when switching from tower speakers to soundbar was the sound power, as tower speakers have more power in the speaker noise than the soundbar. Now, quality wise, I notice that the soundbar is more pure and crystal clear, but remember that I bought the highest range of Samsung soundbars, because if you buy lower end models, you will most likely hear the sound very poor. Apart from that, the soundbar makes everything easier for me, I no longer need long cables of several meters. You could say that the soundbar is perfect for a room where the walls of the room make the sound bounce in all directions and tower speakers are perfect for large rooms where you don’t need the sound to bounce. The only bad thing about my tower speakers is that they don’t have atmos speakers, instead the soundbars already come with atmos and dts x.

Its better than not having it I suppose, still the bounce would normally be delayed, not sure you would notice, the speaker could play slightly earlier but any direct audio would be too quick.

The audio delays are logical and obviously if I select atmos or dts X the latency increases a bit, but thanks to the method of using a stereo audio mix to keep the audio active and not inactive makes it so that I do not experience cuts or interruptions, also the method of eliminating the latencies of the nvidia audio driver means that I do not experience latency apart from the fact that now I connect my PC directly to my sound bar and from the sound bar directly to the TV and in the TV menu I enable the direct audio pass-through mode in this way the TV no longer encodes anything but this time lets the uncompressed audio pass directly to the receiver. PC -> HDMI-AUDIO -> SOUND BAR -> TV

I haven't noticed any audio delay bouncing off the ceiling into my ears

I was looking for a receiver with HDMI 2.1 output with 4K support at 120Hz at 10bits and the SAMSUNG Q990D 11.1.4 channel Sound Bar was the perfect choice for me

yee lel it can ither simulate a full surround system or just heigts if your system has physical surround channels its a really nice experince as its why i got a 5.1 atmos system as its like a more enhanced take on 5.1 so i get more than most do for not more money than most would pay for a system like this

my only issue is i get no upmixer just surround stereo which sucks as i do enjoy matrix upmixers
