I'd say b650 is better. A bit more depth to the bass. But the rears, dinky as they are, on the s60tr are a nice to have and add in the mix. If you got good places to put them. I'd probably the lg provides marginally better immersion

Same thing happened to me. Advertiser showed photo of Samsung B650, and described it as 3.1 channel B650. Said they paid $350 but later admitted it only cost them $200 Thinking I got a good deal I bought it. Several days later after realizing it did not have all the features. I realized it was in fact a cheaper B450. I contacted seller and he refused to do anything about it. Buyer beware. Only thing I coud do is give him a bad review.
