As a first effort to bring the immersive surround sound of Dolby Atmos to the simplicity of a soundbar, the Samsung HW-K950 is an impressive product. Its sound quality on Dolby Atmos-encoded content is exceptionaly good and it couldn't be much simpler to...

Full surround, including Dolby Atmos, from just four boxes, Rich, punchy sound
Limited connectivity, Pricey for a soundbar
A soundbar with Dolby Atmos may seem like an oxymoron, but Samsung has done a masterful job of pulling it off. The HW-K950 delivers a hefty slice of the performance you can get from a carefully tuned component system, but without most of the complexity...

Good value for money, rather good sound quality, real Dolby Atmos, quite powerful bass, convenient
Rear surrounds may be a bit too directional for a large “sweet spot”
Look, I'm the kind of guy who likes more than a hundred watts per channel to his main speakers – including the four ceiling ones – and a several hundred watt subwoofer. So when I say that I thought the Samsung HW-K950 did a quite respectable job, and much...
