Best praise vs top criticism for Samsung HW-B650
Best Praise
+5 pts“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”

+3 pts“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.”
