Been keeping an eye on this one for a while. The previous cheapest was $1090 + shipping as per this deal
I was considering the Bose 700 + bass module for a while. But this seems like a good price.
Shipping to VIC is $40 for me. Wonder if JB or TGG would price match.
This thing is amazing once all set up and running. For a sound bar, you will not find a better ATMOS set up.
What about listening to music on this?
you will not find a better ATMOS set up.
Have you compared it to the Sony HT-Z9RF? The cheapest price atm is $1292.
EDIT: Found it for $1,274.15 at Wireless1 eBay.
What the hell is 7.1.4 does that have something to do with low/highs?
7 channel as in fronts rear and surround and centre
1 as subwoofer
4 as 4 height speakers (front and rear), in this case just speakers up firing.
In reality it's closer to 5.1.4 as they don't have additional separate speakers.
Are right the .4 gives you the Atmos. Cheers for the breakdown
Anyone know how this would compare to the Sony Muteki from a few years ago - been considering going for something a little less obnoxious
Haha mate. I've got muteki 6.2 from 2007 which I'm looking to replace with this too!
I've never had a decent sound system and decided to go the sound bar route.
Thing is, I was planning on getting with new TV this time next year for the PS5.
I've heard that I should wait to buy a new TV because of the Olympics and it will be second round of 8k, etc
Sound isn't changing though is it?
Should I just buy this now (or black Friday) and enjoy that till I get the new TV?
Any audiophile opinion would be good cause I know nothing about sound except it can get loud.
I would go it now as I have never seen it this cheap before. I got it to go away from the whole Surround Sound Set up and wanted something more simple with wireless speakers etc.
It truly is amazing. If you have a look on any review on this soundbar, you will see other than a couple early errors, nothing in its class matches its sound quality.
just buy this now (or black Friday) and enjoy that till I get the new TV
This.
8k broadcasting is planned in Japan in time for the Olympics - not in Australia. For an immersive cinematic / sporting / gaming experience get an OLED TV of the biggest size you can afford and a decent Dolby Atmos compatible soundbar with a sub and rear speakers. This setup will last you for many years and will be compatible with PS5.
Take a good look at the LG C9 deal (55" or 65") from Appliance Central eBay.
Can anybody recommend a soundbar for less than $250? For playing music from a computer and watching TV in a small apartment.
Thanks! I'll keep an eye out.
Interested on thoughts from anyone who owns this. I don't have a lot of Atmos content. Just basic Netflix, Prime etc. Does that mean the need for Atmos soundbar become redundant?
My usage well be 60% for music streaming.
For whatever it's worth reviews all seem to rave about this sound bar, and its Atmos implementation. That it has proper rear speakers counts for a lot, too.
Thinking of grabbing one to replace my ageing 5.2 system.
Thanks for the deal OP; like you tossing up b/w this or Bose 700; cheapest I have seen Bose 700 with sub module is for $1500. Is it worth the extra price? Cheers. Any other recommendations in the same price range?
I too have been tossing up between these two models. As mentioned above, all reviews rave about this as being the best soundbar. Have a look at rtings for example, here's a comparison of the two, but make sure you check the full this too:

My concern with the Samsung is quality, but it is full Atmos; based on feedback from Bose it won't ever support Atmos as it obviously requires additional hardware (upwards firing speakers):
https://community.bose.com/t5/Home-Theater/Soundbar-700-E-AR…
That said, I'm tempted with this deal….
thanks mate! It is tempting but I am gonna wait and see if Bose is under $1400 come next week with Black Friday deals. If not, I will then go for this one. Cheers.
This one will be done by then…
I have had this for 4 months and can highly recommend it. It does scale the sound to surround for basic Netflix too. Make sure you have eARC on your TV for connections.
I have a 2015 Samsung TV with ARC but not eARC. Will this soundbar work for me and if so will it be overkill ?
How are the back speakers powered - are they battery powered?
Yes, you need a power point for each…
hi @all, i called JBHIFI they price matched this, they did ask me to pay for the p&p which was bit cheeky since i was coming in to pick it up but i paid half of it, this system is $2,000 in JBHIFI, I bought it and set it up on weekend, serious steal at 40% cheaper i wouldn't risk waiting for the black Friday. I had to take a screen shot of this deal and send to manager for approval
hey mate any chance you could provide a copy of the receipt/invoice? thanks.
or if you could let us know which store you ordered it from? Thanks.
+1 for a copy of the receipt to use as evidence of price match please… :-)
Also waiting for receipt so i can get price matched.
@arnomic I bought it from Camberwell store in Victoria, I had to email the manager to get approval
In Melbourne
Thanks bud. None of the JB stores I called were willing to match this price. Cheapest I got to was $1403.
Can you upload receipt bud
either way, this is brilliant sound system and i would buy it from Appliance central if you cant get to JBHIFI this is a total steal
Does anyone know some good speaker stands for the rear ones?
ordered from ebay like many others as per whirlpool forums.. https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/173695348494 40 bucks
Perfect. Do they hold them up fine? Thanks
receveied just today will try one i get home..
They are holding them fine, Just get a 1/4 into 18mm or 16mm or 15mm screw from bunnings to use. I got spares as i had to get a whole packet. Can give you some in city Melbourne CBD.
@phokati: Awesome! I don't need them right now, as I move out in a few months so I'm keeping the speakers packed away. Thanks for the offer though very kind :)
Mods please edit as you see fit. Thanks.
