I have Samsung q990f but I cant turn the volume more than 20%. Its crazy loud for an apartment. But the sound is Amazing especially with dolby atmos content
Feel free to elaborate. I'm in the market, so your advice is appreciated. Not looking to be in the $2-3k range, thank you.
A proper system won't cost you 2-3K. The drawback to those systems is that there are a lot of pieces and wires. For me, that became the reason to switch to a soundbar--I had no way to run the wires to my side and read speakers without going in front of the fireplace, which we now use (had a wood insert installed).
Anyway, I briefly had the 990C and thought it sounded great, but it simply cannot compare to a dedicated surround system.

OK that makes sense. I have a similar issue with the wires. Flat roof with no crawl space, and really don't want to run the cord covers things all over the room. I have a similar but lower end sound bar already and enjoy the wireless rear speakers. Thanks for your input

I got this bar a couple of weeks ago for $399 -- long story. I live in a building built in 2020 with 10 foot ceilings. My neighbor has a bedroom abutting my living room. The unit was vacant until last week. I watched seasons 2 and 3 of the Expanse this weekend without any complaints. I had the volume between 15 and 18. The neighbor above me has the same layout and he's been here as long as me. He never complained about the noise and I've jacked it up to the 20s watching action movies, sci-fi series and NBA games. The biggest surprise, watching Jimmy Kimmel and Seth Myers and hearing the audience in the rear channel 😂
I have the Q990C (basically 99.9% the same as the D in terms of audio) and regularly have it at 20-25 volume with no issues.... That I know of 😉

It's a two part answer to this really. 1) if you're already in the Sonos ecosystem and you're planning on keeping the other Sonos products in your home, you should just stick with your Sonos home theater setup. 2) if that's your only Sonos product(s) and you're big on watching movies with the most immersive audio formats, this will win for sure. One thing to keep in mind is your room layout. If you don't have flat ceilings, or if you're sitting a significant distance away from where the bar will be placed, you'll lose a lot of the height effects this will produce.
This bar is *much* bigger and will play much louder, so neighbors should be considered if you live in an apartment or condo. These bars throw a ton of sound around the room, so having walls and ceilings to bounce the sound off are important. If you're in a large open room where the sound can't be "beamed" to the listener, you'll be missing out and likely be unhappy with changing out your system.
This is a great deal on a very well reviewed bar, but if you want to stay in the Sonos ecosystem you could always consider moving up to an Arc or Arc Ultra. Both of which would add a lot of the functionality this has but remaining in your home audio network. The Beam is by no means a bad bar, but it doesn't have dedicated up firing drivers like this and the Arc have, so any height effects that are in the audio will be far less pronounced as the Beam is "faking" them so to speak.
