I have a Sonos Arc, sub, Move, One, and 4 Sonos speakers from IKEA… not sure I'd invest in Sonos right now.

Having said that, you can get so much more bang for the buck than this, by building it out yourself.

These two items together will blow you away, and you'll still have enough cash left over for a great denon receiver, capable of atmos, vrr and 4k120hz gaming.

Buying this Bose setup, even at the sale price, is absurd.
Has anyone tried the Nakamichi Dragon? I've only seen good reviews. https://a.co/d/cgEGVPx.
I have to deal with Bose customer support for my dying wireless headset last year and what they offered was beyond insulting. They know how to squeeze cash from customers and later will leave you with not working product. Happened already on 2 different sets for me. I switched to Sony xm4/5 and overall better so far. Also Sony cust support is much better than Bose.
The speakers can just be put on their sides.
A small set of powered Bookshelves with a remote would work too.
For instance, a set of Kanto YU4.

The Samsung does have good ATMOS effects, but is terrible for music, and requires fiddling with surround modes when content type changes. Even worse, most of the modes dont use the full set of drivers or full EQ, and the ones that do sound tinny. My old JBL 5.1 bar sounded better, but didnt have ATMOS.
In contrast the Bose has excellent room correction, upmixes everything automatically to room filling surround, and sounds awesome on all content…. The clarity of the center channel is exceptional for dialogue, and surround sound comes from everywhere….can hear every breath.
Also, the subwoofer is significantly better…..the Samsung bass is overall weak except for explosions…..not musical at all
Aesthetically, this looks like a piece of art where the samsung is UGLY.
I had the Sammy on a similar deal….….. Swapped to this (at twice the price) and was NIGHT AND DAY better.
Definitely worth 2x IMO, but YMMV based on how premium you expect and if you dual purpose the bar for music.

Cool if you like the Sony headphones after a bad experience, I never had to use Bose support so cant speak to it. Odd thing to me is Bose gives a generous 90 day risk free trial…..not typically a sign of bad support, but maybe they have cleaned up their handling. This is my second Bose product, no problems.
I am not terribly disappointed with the trade off at all. Full surround is for a very few individuals who will actually use it how it is meant to be used and enjoy it.
For 99.9% of the people a single soundbar or two HomePods will cover it adequately.
While the sound is decent overall, not home theater level but ok for all content types. However, the connectivity is always a headache. I connect it to an LG OLED, and there's no sound every now and then. Requires that I reboot the soundbar. Sometimes, even that doesn't work and requires the soundbar to reset. Sometimes, I even had to connect soundbar to router by network cable to update the firmware and reset only, after which the connection goes through.
All the above steps are official troubleshooting, which indicates Bose agrees there are issues and hasn't fixed them in so many years. I'm terrified to recommend their Soundbars to anyone now as they failed to fix these in the latest models and are still selling them with potential connectivity issues.
