Samsung HW-Q800C vs Sony Bravia Theater Quad

“No I would avoid, Q800 is designed to be used with subwoofer, you will get a a very flat sound without. I live in a apartment that does not have thick walls too, and the sub is perfect, you can add some dirt cheap feet like this [https://www.amazon.fr/gp/product/B0047T6WXY/ref=ppx\_od\_dt\_b\_asin\_title\_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1](https://www.amazon.fr/gp/product/B0047T6WXY/ref=ppx_od_dt_b_asin_title_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1) and adjust bass to -1/-2/-3 if needed, the result will remain infinitely better than without a subwoofer at all.”

“I think the only realistic problem with the quads is the price. Its priced at 2500$ and you **need** a subwoofer which brings the whole system at 3000$. For around 1500 you can build a 5.1.2 avr set up that will outpetform it. A home theater avr does not need towers and any decent 500$ + subwoofer will vastly outperform the SW5 If the quads + sw5 were priced around 1500$ then it would be a very considerable option as you would lose some performance for the extra simplicity and pay the same amount of a decent 5.1.2 set up.”
