    Paired one of these with a 65in C1. Really loving it so far. Setup with hdmi eARC. With the sound mode share it’s a really cool integrated experience and the sound is excellent. Thanks for helping me make an educated decision I’ll be listening to for years to come.

    The LG soundbar has one membrane each on the left and right, which is considerably important for the surround sound. There are quite a few who integrate the soundbar into a shelving system or similar lateral barriers and thus unconsciously forgo an extraordinary sound experience.

      @@bogdanz99 The soundbar is not bad. LG SP9YA I picked for $466 open box with tax. Is it worth $1000? No, not even worth $700 sale price to be honest. However, at $466 I have no major complaints with the soundbar. Simulated surround sound actually sounds good in a small room. Even in s large room it does a good job bouncing sound off the wall. The subwoofer sounds clean and can be impactful when you need it. Only downside is the center channel, you have to turn it above 50% before dialog matches the rest of the audio. While yes there's a subwoofer, the other drivers offer next to no bass which can make it sound hollow using low volume (15 or lower). 1 HDMI input is a bummer but if your TV supports Earc then it's a none issue. Use LG phone app to customize your audio settings and room calibration, that made a difference. I use A.I Sound mode along with DRC and at 50% (20 out of 40) I overall enjoy the audio from my soundbar. At the price I paid for it's a 7.5 out of 10.

      @@deSaemichlaus I actually just received the soundbar last night, I knew the bar would cover a little bit of the bottom going in, however I've realized it's not that big of an issue for me because from my viewing position and angle, the bar BARELY covers the bottom part of the C1, so initially I was inclined to get some sort of big piece of dark wood to put the TV on, but now I don't think it's necessary. Admittedly I do watch content on a computer chair so I have the luxury of just easily increasing my own viewing height distance so the bar doesn't cover any centimeter of the bottom part.
      So yea it really depends on your position and angle, it's definitely not good if you're watching from a sofa that is low to the ground and with a seat cushion that makes you go even further down, in that case I would suggest getting a custom wood piece made that covers the base of the C1 to put it on

      @@deSaemichlaus $692 after taxes. Truthfully I don't have much experience with soundbars, I've only ever used 1 before but it's from the early 2000s, at a ~200 usd price, so I didn't really like it that much, but it wasn't and I didn't personally use it much. Anyways this soundbar is definitely wayyy better than the TV sound, I always wanted to pair a decent sound system with my newly purchased c1 as well but I had a hard time deciding between dedicated speakers in a 3.0 setting, and a soundbar. Ultimately I went with the soundbar for the simplicity of the setup and didn't really want to deal with the huge avr and all the speaker wires, especially since I don't have optimal furniture.
      This soundbar makes dialogue sound way better (might seem weird at first, but then you try switching back to the TV speakers and you really notice the big difference and how much better the soundbar is) and gives an all around more revolving sound, the bar, even though it is pricey, also comes with a wireless sub which is nice, aint the best, but it does a decent job, I certainly feel it after playin with the settings and placement a bit. You can adjust pretty much all the sound settings with the lg soundbar app (also an extra huge plus, simple, nice ui, easy setup) super easily. The "surround" aspect of the soundbar is admittedly not super felt but I read before purchasing that everyone pretty much agreed on the necessity of grabbing the rear speakers as well, so I also got the rears for an extra $130, I just haven't set them up yet because the stands I got haven't arrived. But once I set them up I'm pretty sure the "surround" aspect of the soundbar will actually be felt and the sound system as a whole feel complete and I'm gonna be extremely happy with it, I already am happy with it and that's with the surround aspect being sub-par (rtings themselves only rate the soundbar's surround at like 5.2 ish iirc, you can check their article/review on the bar if you'd like). The bar and sub really shines with atmos content, it's great.

    • @lazaruslongnl9046
      @lazaruslongnl9046 2 роки тому +2

      I am sure you've found your answer. But others might read the question.
      Yes you will run into problems most woofers will be designed to fire "down" using the floor (or hard surface) to spread the low frequency soundwave. If you tilt it to the side it will bounce of what ever it is firing towards. So a wall, 10meters (20f) away will be the resonant surface. It will cause delay, distortion and a much shallower sound.
      Can you? Sure, if you must but you will leave performance and quality on the table... or floor in this case.
      Don't tip your woofers folks.

    • @daniell4835
      @daniell4835 2 роки тому +1

      Real subwoofers are nondirectional, so your idea should have minimal impact. The placement is way more important for the overall sound than the orientation of the unit.
      Just put it on something that could pass for feet or a smilar surface so that it doesn't slide about when the built in footsies aren't planted on the floor.
