HW-B550D
Great Companion to my Projector

I have been wanting to replace the older sound system hooked up to my basement projector for quite some time now. It was an older receiver and the bass and sound quality were pretty lackluster. After upgrading to the Samsung HW-B550D, I notice a world of difference.
Setup was a little more difficult than I would have liked since I needed to get a long enough HDMI to run all the way across to my projector. I have my Fire Stick connected to the HDMI in the soundbar and my projector hooked up to the ARC port and everything works great. I love that the soundbar turns itself off once the projector turns off.
The first improvement I've noticed is the bass from this soundbar can fill the basement theater room on high volume. I can literally get the walls to shake if I turn it up loud enough, which is great for replicating going to the theater in my own basement.
Next is the actual sound quality. It sounds a lot better than my last system which I don't think had Dolby or DTS. Voices and sound effects come through clearly. I currently have it set to surround sound mode, but I also enjoy the DTS Virtual X mode as well.
The only thing I don't like about this soundbar is the tiny display. You have to wait for the words to scroll by which makes it kind of annoying. My older Samsung soundbar has a bigger display that is a bit easier to read. Once you setup your EQ and sound mode though, you really don't even need to pay much attention to the screen on the sound bar except for the volume.
Overall, I'm pleased with the upgrade in sound quality and bass this soundbar provides compared to my last system.
