Yes, I realize not everyone has a room that will work well with placement of surround and Atmos satellites, but I have to argue that if you care enough about sound to spend $1700, then you would forcibly make a traditional discrete setup work or dedicate a room for home theater.
There's a lot of 5.1 or greater setups in the $300-$700 range that feature fully wireless satellite channels and setups in the $150 range that only require power to the subwoofer.
Even if you aren't able to pop holes in the walls, you can get truer 5.1 for a lot less and have money left over to buy a midrange TV or projector.
I like Sennheiser's cans, but this is just more niche than they need to be.

Ive used expensive speakers (5k+), cheap soundbars ($150 Target special) and too many mid- high range soundbars (Hta9, 990b, Ambeo has beautiful sound.
In a smaller room (think 20 x 30' with typical 8' ceilings) you will get Atmos experience that is oh so close to 990b.
For music listening, this thing is more like kef ls50s WITH kef kc62 (almost)
If you want a great pair of speakers AND better than "good" atmos in a "regular" room (no giant open plan vaulted cieling stuff) then you wont find a better set-up. At $1700, this is a GREAT price and if youve been wanting one, you WILL NOT REGRET it!

For the price and according to reviews(similar performance with the max being better), I still went with Samsung 990b.

For all those complaining, would love to know what youre comparing to.
Unless you speak of high end systems , all the rest home theater in a box with sub cannot hold a candle to this
Then again, neither is the price. For the right room, there is no other. This is a delight to listen to.
Its a pity though they refuse to make rears. I don't understand and it could be something to behold if it did.
Assume it has to do with processing and not capable. Similar to 990b - if Samsung allowed extra pairn of front speakers and more sub or 3rd party sub, it would be untouchable !
