Pros

  • After using it with the Theatre Quad, I would honestly say the overall bass performance is good enough that Sony can absolutely compete in what I would consider the hi-fi territory.
  • I upgraded to the Quads and didn’t expect a big difference but it’s truly amazing how good it sounds without a center channel. ... Quads instantly became my all time favorite. ... never had a single dropout or any issues.
  • I have Sony Quads and a Sonos arc ultra immersive setup. The Quads have been my favorite wireless system for movies and the Sonos is good, but doesn’t provide the soundstage that the Quads provide.
  • Can vouch for the Quads. Beyond happy with mine coupled with the SW5 sub.
  • Now if you can swing it the Sony quads with a sub are probably the "best" all around but also likely 2x the price of the Samsung.

Cons

  • Both the Quad and Trio sounded better overall than the HT-A9, with the exception of Atmos. The HT-A9, in my room, placed Atmos heights so well, it is dramatically different than both the Quad and Trio.
  • Parent context: Congrats!! Let us know how it is after you’ve had it a few days!! Do you have the Quads to compare it to?? Reply: I did have the Quads, but the wife wasn't happy with how they looked in our room, so we went back to the or...
  • Quad sounds good but not as good as 990 Series. ... The lack of center speaker and extra subwoofer makes it a lot weaker than 990.
  • The quad definitely has a superior sound to it. The speakers are larger than I thought though and required kind of awkward placement. They were a little big on the speaker stands that fit the 990D rears. Also having to buy a separate sub...
  • I really prefer the Quad as a shape, ease of connection, and its integration with my Bravia 8, but the price difference is very big to the point that I am not able to justify its price compared to the Q990F

Reply: I did have the Quads, but the wife wasn't happy with how they looked in our room, so we went back to the original HT-A9. She also preferred the sound of the originals over the Quads as well, for some reason, the give off better Atmos effects in our room.

I love my Quads, so I’m not in a rush like I usually get when something new comes out... I’ve been enjoying the heck outta them ever since

I own a Quad along with a SW5 and I´ve configured the system including the phantom center channel to work properly for my setup and the result is increidble, i´ve got crystal clear sound for any type of content... when you run it properly it is a beast of a product.

I’ll still recommend the Quads, as my favorite system which imo is a more cinematic experience than my Sonos setup, which is pretty good.
