Is this the same as the lg sp11ra?
Hi everybody
I am very undecided between systems
LG soundbar to Bang&Olufsen Bar
can someone help me decide
Thank You
Appreciated
Could you do a review of the new version LG SP11RA 7.1.4, which is meant to be an update over this? Sounds promising!
The recent firmware update killed this bar
I picked up the SNY9A version with the addon rears and I'm satisfied. I felt the 11 might have been overkill, only spent 1200
correct me if i'm wrong, you'll need the right room (a pair of walls on the left and right) in order for the sound to reflect so we can hear sound that is coming from the left or right?
This requirement is quite limiting as my room has a door at the side that is open most of the time to allow natural light and wind to enter in..
@Andrew Robinson Could you please give us your thoughts on LG G1 or LG GX sounds please
I usually watch watch Art and Independent movies (not summer blockbusters). Would an edifier 1280db be better or Lg Sl4 for me?
Both retail for the same price in India here.
Hey
Should i buy the
Sony hta7000
Hta9
Lg DSP11ra
Of the Samsung Hwq950A
I have a lg oled tv 120hz
which one do you advise me?
I want a good souround Sound of 5.1 or Dolby Atmos
Very cinematic sound
it must be so nice to hear sub par audio and think it sounds so good.
What speaker stands did you use for the rears ? I just picked up the 2021 model — SP11RA and would like to find a stand that works
Thanks
does the content source have to have atmos?
Nice video
WOA this review makes me wanna buy this soundbar!
*checks price tag
oh nevermind
I had a Samsung HW-Q700A and returned it for the LG SP8YA and the first thing I noticed was how easy and seamless the LG soundbar connected to my LG CX. It also allowed me to use the “pass through” setting on my TV so that I can use Dolby Atmos Home Theatre on my Xbox Series X (this was not possible with the Samsung and there was an major audio delay). I also prefer the classy look of the LG soundbar and it’s much easier to clean. Also the WIFI app is incredible and there are so many more features. The sound is pretty good too, so far so good! Undecided if I should get the rears.
While I didn't work for an audiophile magazine I had followed their advice to build a 7.1 entertainment room. I had become burned out with the complexity and dealing with a separate remote. No learning remote could do everything I needed.
I tried a soundbar out 10 years ago with a subwoofer and it was close enough if not exceeding my AVR system that I gave away my expensive system and kept the soundbar.
I've started to look at newer Atmos systems but there isn't much Atmos content yet and what there is still sounds fine on my older Soundbar. I don't watch movies as much as I used to so it's less of a priority.
My goal was to upgrade my bedroom 10 year old Panasonic 55" plasma TV and Vizio soundbar to a LG C1 77" with a LG Atmos soundbar though Sony was tempting me with the HT-9.
With everything in my shopping cart I backed away and reconsidered whether it was worth the cost. After all my plasma TV has deep blacks, my soundbar has very clear voice audio and excellent surround so why replace it.
Don't get caught up in the latest hype and sales frenzy. Consider what you are trying to accomplish and whether it is worth the expense. I could easily afford a new system, but why!
I can't believe it, I simply find myself watching your reviews daily, I need your expert advise please, As i'll be spending lots of £ for a home theater, can you advise which one I should consider between
1- Sony HT-A9
2- Bose soundbar 900 with subwoofer and rear speakers (bose told me there me new 900 module early next year)
3- Samsung Q950A (my TV is 2021 Oled 1 month old)
4- LG SP1
Keep up the good work and why your co reviewer hiding off camera 🙂
I see this soundbar on sale for 750 and the Samsung Q950A for 1k. Is this soundbar worth it or should I go for the samsung? I like the big cinema like effect, listen to hard rock/metal and game
Does it work with Airplay?
Is there a high-end sound bar that can use 3rd party surround sound (or Atmos) speakers that are already in the ceiling? Also, your Amazon link for the LG SN11RG does not work.
I have a Sony htc 260 and I love it, got it for $150, no issues for 8 years plus super music playback
I’m strongly considering this system but I do plan to buy a ps5 eventually. If I plug the ps5 into this sound bar and use the EARC channel to connect to my LG cx tv will I still get 4k 120hz video to my tv?
Hi Andrew,
Great channel! I've stumbled across it as I'm scouting the marked for a soundbar to pair with my LG B9. Unfortunately the high end bars you've reviewed are a bit out of my price range and the Vizio is not something on the marked in my country. Do you have another "budget" recommendation?
Also! I have vaulted ceilings in my living room with acoustic panels to reduce noise levels. Is that something the AI can take into consideration when configuring that Atmos sound?
Thanks!
Is the LG DSN11RG Still good for Music and Movies?
Hey man, I just found your channel and LOVE your videos. I love the handle you use of recovering audiophile also lol I've always called myself an audiophile at heart without the monetary means to actually be one haha
Anyway, I have the 2019 version of this (I think?) the SK10Y. Did you ever get a chance to check out that model? Do you have any input on that version compared to this model?
Would soundbars be better with 2 subwoofers? I keep hearing 2 subwoofers are better than one. And if so, why don’t more come with two subwoofers? New to the channel and I really like the content and insight that you provide.
What happens if you watch 5.1 content on this?Will the rear speakers go mute?
Are we calling $1500 surround systems soundbars now? lol it defeats the whole purpose of soundbars in the first place, which was being cheap and not taking up space.
How does it compare to 2 HomePods surround sound? I have one HomePod. Wondering if getting another to pair is better than the soundbar setup. Any experience hearing both setups?
I've been watching reviews for soundbars for few days now for my buying decision until i met this video. This video
probably my reason to finally get my self my first soundbar.
I think all soundbars must ship with a remote that offers most of the functionality that the app offers. Also, the ability to physically wire them if needed. I want to keep the soundbar for 20 years. The app won’t work; the wifi won’t work. What do I do then? Keep buying soundbars every 5 years for $2000 every-time ? No way.
compared to samsung q950a what is better sound quality and surround sound?
Can't find one. Too bad.
Would you consider doing a review on the Harman kardon citation bar?
Just bough this for my C10 PC gaming set up. We can adjust the tones and thing with the PC.
A lot of people give this system a hit and miss. But have these people forgot that one can change the sound settings? That's what makes it all the more. Every room in one's house is different for its acoustic.
Thank you for your quality content. I recently discovered your channel. Wish you all the best.
I bought LG 55UN8000 tv last year and now searching for soundbar with surround sounds. Also my tv has ARC port. I have budget of upto 700usd kindly suggest me one.
Info:
We are more into music. I expect the soundbar to lift up our music listening experience to the next level.
Also we are subscribed to Amazon prime and Netflix and love watching their contents sometimes.
Room size is little larger than medium(living room)
Tv size is 55"
Placement: wish to keep on the shelf.
Kindly help us finding a good soundbar.
Thank you..
Interesting. I had to watch this video twice because another youtuber reviewed this with a bunch of other soundbars and the LG ended up dead last with a disappointing end note to boot. Why the polarity in opinion though, I wonder.
LG subwoofer disconnects a lot due to wifi interference, no way it is better than home theater or other high end soundbars like Sonos, Bose, Samsung. Seems like paid review
I recently acquired the LG SN7R 5.1.2 and it’s by no means a top of the line soundbar w/atmos. But it is definitely a nice addition to a small room and for gaming. Especially when coupled with the LG C1 OLED!
Which Vizio sound bar would you say is the best bang for the buck? My wife and I just purchased our first house and I’m looking to get the close to movie theatre quality as I can but stay under $700. Thanks!
