Samsung HW-Q67CT 7.1 Channel Soundbar 199.99$

Which Costco location did you buy it? I've been waiting for it to come back in stock on Costco.com for a few weeks.

I too picked this up from Costco on Friday.

First thing I did was upgrade the firmware as it was just released last month. Most of the issues noted in the negative reviews should have been fixed.

-Overall it is a diecent system. The soundbar projects a wide clean soundstage.
-The surround speakers are small but let off enough sound to accent your content. Yes they require you to wire them to a 'wireless box', but that's OK.
-The 6.5" sub tries but is probably my only negative point. Would have preferred an 8" or 10" with a little more oomph but this one works good...not great.

I have 4 movies in and overall I would say I'm satisfied given the price. Wireless speakers and sub do not cut out. Great system for a small or medium space.

This is essentially the HW-Q65T (sold at Best Buy for ~$450) with 1 less sound mode. The Best Buy system states their subwoofer produces 30 more watts, but they are also the exact same part number (per the manuals online) so wondering if the firmware detunes the Q67CT sub or if this is simply marketing.

I am in Mississippi, They had this for 229$ for almost a month but no one bought it, Maybe because of the 2* review on samsung.com. Friday they reduced it to 199.97. They still got like 4 more

Great idea, but to be honest I'm not sure. Have not looked into it.

Though about flashing it with the Q65t firmware to see if the sub sounded any better and if I would get the extra sound mode, but did not want to risk bricking it.

In CBUS, they had 1 left as of Friday afternoon.

For non BJs members you can sign up for a free 1 day membership pass online and then order it.

Couple of questions: Does the system come with wires to connect the rear speakers?
Also how would you compare the sound output to a simple system like Logitech Z906? Thanks.

The set comes with everything needed to hook it up and get going (wiring, hdmi cable, wall mount for the soundbar, etc).

The speakers must be connected to a wireless box that communicates to the soundbar. Mine is hooked up about 12' away and behind a wall in an unfinished portion of my basement. The wires stick thru the wall. I have had no issues with sound.

I had an older Logitech THX 5.1 surround sound system hooked up as a 3.1 setup (surround speakers were not hooked up). While the sub was much better with the Logitech, the overall soundstage for tv and movies use is superior with the Samsung.

Yeap, it comes with everything except the optical cable. It works really well with my Samsung tv, not so much with an older Insignia tv.
What issues did you notice that were solved after updating the firmware? It seems to be working well for me on the stock firmware but I'm not sure what to look for.

Cannot speak to pre upgrade but noticed several reviews nothing the rear speakers and sub would cut in and out. Have not noticed any of this.

Mine is hooked up to a Sony TV with no issues.
