What reviewers say

Owners rate the Q990F highly for its wide, tall Atmos presentation and strong bass, and many call it the best value in a full surround package. Complaints center on the size of the subwoofer and rears, and on setup and calibration fiddliness.

SetupMixedReviewers say calibration and rear-speaker placement take effort but pay off once dialed in.
SizeCriticisedThe subwoofer and rear speakers are called bulky and need space and power outlets behind the seating area.
DialoguePraisedOwners report clear center-channel dialogue even at low listening volumes.
