If no hurry, wait for 1or 2 months. It comes down to 660$ just like q990c. I am waiting for that price.

The sound bar has 7 front speakers and 2 Atmos speakers. 3 on the left, 1 center, 3 on right. Then the 2 Atmos are on top.
They are positioned one pointing 90° left, one 45° left, one directly facing seating on left. Center is directly front of bar. Right mirrors the left. One Atmos speaker on top each side.

Then the surrounds each have 2 front facing speakers and one Atmos speaker.
Positions are 1 facing left, one facing directly behind towards bar, 1 Atmos facing up. Right mirrors left.

One subwoofer.

There you have it folks, an 11.1.4 sound bar with 15 actual speakers in 3 enclosures.

Like I said, you just gotta be smarter than the sound bar.

And I wasn't defending anything, just explaining to your birdness how there are actually all 11.1.4 speakers in there when the bird himself said there were 3.

I said it once and I'll say it again. Bird. Brain. 🐦 🧠

Understand?

And you have clearly never heard this sound bar, it is one of if not the top rated sound bar out there. Like it or not, some folks need or just want a sound bar for either space constraints or aesthetics.

Either way, there are definitely positively 100% indubitably 15 speakers and a sub packed in this neat little package. And anyone with more than a bird brain knows that 15 is 12 more than 3, which is what you initially claimed genius. Now you are trying to make it about whether it sounds good or not.

No one cares if you think it sounds good (spoiler: it does sound good).

If you are set on a better subwoofer and have the skill and knowledge for some DIY, check this video out:

This is 100% what I plan on doing. I already have the wire cut ready to install when it arrives Friday. I plan on connecting it to my 12" Klipsch sub.

EDIT: Funny enough, I didn't click the link because I knew the overall suggestion. But that is the exact subwoofer I will be using as well!

For anyone who's debating the 990 vs Sono's, without considering Sono's company situation, the 990 performance was on top and an easy recommendation for the money until the arc ultra (with 4th gen sub and era 300's) tipped the scale in the performance department but still lacking in the value department (NOT worth 3 times the 990)!
So, the 990 is still the best bang for the money and if, you account for the current sono's turmoil, it would be the best option without any doubt.

P. S. This is the openion of most reviews and not my own experience!
i disagree. the sonos arc ultra, two era 300s and a sub 4 is superior in every way to the samsung. it is more expensive so if budget is a priority then go with samsung. but for about $2.5k, the sonos and sony quads are the best. i chose the sonos b/c im not a fan of sony's speakers and the sonos is a system u can add to little by little.

I don't think you read my comment because you just repeated what I said about the arc ultra tipping the scale on the performance department but not the value department!!

If you order after talking to chat with the custom cart and end up canceling for whatever reason they will email you a promo code if I remember right it was an extra $150 off for future purchases. I first ordered in January with Mil discount and 10% off with chat for the custom cart. I ended up cancelling because the ship date kept moving to the end of February.
I ended up ordering again today and the total came to $805 and the order says arrives by 21 Feb but I got an email saying it already shipped today.

i read it. "tipping the scale" vs outperforming it in every dept is the point.

Do you own both? Sonos and Q990? If so, how close does the Q990 get to Sonos Arc Ultra as you seem to indicate that it is far superior?

If it's around 80 to 90% of the sound quality, then Q990 is a no brainer.

OTOH, like you said, if money is no concern, then Sonos... Actually, if you can spring $2.5 K for Sonos, why not Nakamichi DRAGON as I read that it's superior to every other soundbar?

the dragon does not win against the sonos in every review aside from sheer power, in which there is no comparison. there are quite a few audiophile reviews on youtube comparing both.

similarly there are many comparisons with the sonos and samsung. ive only heard the samsung in the store and it does impress, but i prefer the sonos hands down. but any system should be set up in your particular room to hear how the sound bounces off the walls.

Sonos has much more rich bass compared to the dull sounding samsung. Of course it is more than double in price as well!

Sold all my Sonos equipment 6 months ago and got this Samsung 990D. Best decision I ever made. Works flawlessly with Apple AirPlay and Spotify wireless. SONOS NEVER AGAIN.

This or the Vizio Elevate which one is better? Someone told me the Elevate actually gave a better performance especially with Atmos but I find that hard to believe
