Have tried many sound bars over the years , including Sont hta9, Ambeo Max, none come close to this.
Sony wowed for first few moments, but the sound quality in everything but massive explosions left was pedestrian. It makes for a good demo, and then leave you wanting more.
Ambeo wowed what it could do, and room filling, but leave you frustrated why oh why they don't give rear options. For pure music ,Ambeo has edge. For video, q990b.
990c will NOT be the upgrade it was from 990a to b. It will be identifical visually, and suspect 990b will receive much of the new software improvements. Heck,,perhaps it was already pushed out with the bump up in performance past month. Yes, it was that noticeable and almost gave me the new unboxing feeling of hearing for first time.
Ona side note, ditto for qn95b. Recent 1420 to 1430 software vastly improved blooming and color. Samsung is ON their game updating their products from phones to tv and audio. They must have their software team in a virtual sweatshop the way they are pushing out updates left and right across their l vast line of products!
The 910b does not have an upwards firing rear speaker. so its listed as 9.1.2 system. So at best the 910 can only be considered a partial atmos system (only the front speaker is upwards firing)
the 990b has the atmos upwards firing and side firing rear speaker (and larger speakers all around plus an upgraded subwoofer) its listed as 11.1.4 system. the samsung 990b also has an auto eq setup. So it should be useful to adjust sound to odd size rooms.
but there is another samsung option not on the website. best buy sells a samsung 930b. That is a 9.1.4. its essentially and 910b with the an upwards firing rear speaker. But since the 930b is more expensive in the 990 right now, there is no reason to consider it.
I have not gotten my 990b yet, but I am hoping it matches the hype.
Is the 990B really worth $300 more.............?
Besides rear atmos, everything else seems identical.
Anyone tired both and notice any real difference?
Anyone else get this???
Moving the surrounds will require running the sound calibration again.
Edit: I too have 13ft ceilings with a large 2ft deep dish. The room is 20x20. As you face the TV, the front entranceway is on the right and kitchen/bar behind and open space. The sub is to the left of the TV and the port is facing the left wall and the speaker side faces the TV wall. Seems to fill the room quite well.

Verify the Sound settings on the TV:
That last setting is very important (otherwise the TV would do the surround processing), as is the source material being played.
