I got this back at $800. I've never heard better personally. The biggest thing that impresses me about this unit is I can listen below "15" on the volume and don't feel like a miss anything I might hear at "30", for example. The sub, especially, is extra competent at lower volumes. No dropouts on my unit. A+

Well I ended up pulling the trigger. I stacked cb from another site for $50 back and paid via PayPal where I had a 13% Samsung cashback offer saved. If everything works out I would have paid $1,014 -$50 -$132 = $832 after tax.

Already got email confirmation from PayPal for the cb.

Quote from rklimaszewski :
I picked this up for $800 after much hesitancy. My living room layout does not really allow for side or rear speakers because it is an open floor plan. I've been using my Yamaha Aventage with much older Yamaha towers (NS-A200XT) and sub (YST-SW160) and not really having any surround sound. I was searching for an installer to see what I could even do as far as putting speakers in walls in such, and that plus the cost of new speakers were going to be much higher than this.

Since I recently purchased the 85" Q90 series from a prior SD, and with support for Q-Symphony, I gave it a shot as I could use this elsewhere if I did not like it.

I put the wireless rears (just requires power) on the bar separating the kitchen/LR, and put in the new Top Gun which I had not seen. After the first 15 minutes, shut everything off and ripped out all of my Yamaha equipment and the myriad of wires. This is not an exaggeration.

IT. SOUNDS. THAT. GOOD.

You can configure the soundbar so that the "rear" speakers are actually in front (just swap left/right). That will be my semi-permanent solution once I find nice stands to put them on (suggestions welcome). It's easy enough to move behind when I want to experience another movie of that caliber.
I don't have room to place the surround speakers in the rear or side. Do you still get decent surround experience with the surround speakers upfront? Also, I have 13 ft tall ceiling (flat), would Atmos work with this system?

Did you like Q-Symphony? I enabled it on my 85 QN90A and I felt that the sound was too front heavy, and it completely killed the immersion of the surround system as a whole.

Make sure to reach out to chat, they gave me additional 10%. I was able to then apply Paypal 13% cashback and got another 6% cashback if you link your american express card through Paypal.

I told them that I previously purchase a s95b and that they offered me samsung care+ free with the order through samsung chat. I asked them if they could do the same for the q990b and They went to check and said they couldn't offer that but they could offer 100 off.
I was able to get them to give $200 off because since they couldn't give me the care+ on the TV if they would give me the value as a promo code. Being nice worked.

How does Paypal 13% cashback work? Do they just put cashback in $ to PayPal account? Or we have to convert it somehow?

I'll wait for it to get down to $800 again. Some were even able to get it for $650 with TV purchase.

Why do EPP/EDU posts keep hitting the front page? Do that many people have access to this? I can't imagine that many people with an edu email are spending 1k on a sound bar.

I'm still trying to figure out how i can even participate in EPP deals. Do i have to get a second job with a company that's part of the program or go back to school??

This soundbar has connection issues. I've had mine for a few months and the soundbar drops sound intermittently. It's pretty annoying when the sound cuts off for 1-2 seconds during a movie or show. I knew it had issues before I bought it but decided to take the chance. It sounds great but should have gotten the Sonos arc in hindsight because of the connection issues.

If you really want the discount I'm sure you can be savvy enough to access it. It's not behind that high of a barrier.
