I have a q600b with 9200s rear speakers. I'm not too bothered by Atmos, but what are your views on the ambient beam technology, as I don't feel it makes that much difference on this bar. The overall 5.1 sound is very good in a lounge though. Great reviews 🙃

I bought this soundbar on Amazon because I have an apple TV 4K and Apple TV plus has lots of Atmos content. I needed a soundbar with two HDMI connections. The ARC connection goes to the TV ARC HDMI and the other HDMI goes direct to the Apple TV. The subwoofer is pre-connected so it just works when powered on. I waited for a price drop which I was expecting near Black Friday.

I currently use a Sky Soundbox, which does have good sound but not much side or ceiling projection. Also, the remote feature no longer works on it (a regular issue), so I am thinking about replacing it as around a dozen attempts to remedy it have got nowhere. This appeals because a. I like Denon, b. the price is good, c. the inputs are very useful as I think having two HDMIs and an optical really allows me to easily integrate it with my Sony Blue Ray and Sky Q box. We used to have a circa 2009 Samsung Blu Ray surround sound - which was pretty ropey with visuals, but did give a decent sound. However, it stopped working. This did give us a flavour of how good surround sound is - though I am not sure I wanted it when watching normal tv...only for movies. So, this model ticks a lot of boxes, but is there a system which has the inputs and two rear speakers and yet does not break the bank? It seems to have one you have to go up to at least £700 and probably more. Or, in a mid-to-smallish room would I get enough ceiling bounce out of the Denon to give me a reasonable semi-surround sound effect? Is so, that may be good enough since we are not always watching films and I am not sure I want surround sound for the news or normal tv shows - I think it would be annoying. Or maybe there is another soundbox with the features I need which would be better. I've next to no interest in the music side of things as I have a really excellent hifi system which I would always use. Thanks.

The Bose 900 Soundbar w/Subwoofer would be close to the audiophiles sound quality bar, as far as sound bar class goes. With crisp, detailed highs, present mid and ground rattling deep bass, the Bose 900 is one of the 'full' and 'richest' sounding bars out there. I'd like to know where this Denon places in all of this? All these soundbar features mean nothing, unless these makers can get them as close to, or on par with receiver/speaker component systems in terms of sound quality.
