HW-S700D
Great soundbar for newer…

When I unboxed the Samsung HW-S700D 3.1ch Soundbar, I was surprised at just how small the bar was. The sub-woofer is large (as it should be) but the soundbar is a very manageable size. I got this soundbar mainly because it was compatible with my recently purchased TV and I could sync it up to the TV's built in speakers with Q-Symphony. This would be a great improvement over having to choose either one set of speakers or the other. Unfortunately I am not 100% impressed with the Q-Symphony, as it doesn't allow you to choose the ratio of sound from the TV speakers compared to the soundbar. To me, this is sub-optimal and leaves the sound either too tinny (tiny soundbar, tiny speakers) or too bassy (too much sub-woofer). I seem unable to increase the midrange (TV speakers) in relation to the soundbar/sub-woofer, but there are so many settings between the TV and soundbar, I might just be missing something. The space fit sound pro isn't really anything you run but you enable the sound sensors in your compatible tv and it says that it does real time calibration of the sound. Whether it sounds better or not is debatable. It's hard to switch back and forth quickly to be able to discern any difference or not. All the documentation that came with the soundbar or seems to be downloadable from Samsung's web site, is the quick start guide (it says there are 2 but they are both the same quick start guide). Without in depth documentation is seems impossible to me to be certain I am using it to the fullest. I'm still trying to figure out which is of a higher level, the q symphony or the adaptive sound pro setting. With Q symphony enables and (maybe some tweaks to the equalizer) the voice boost doesn't sound horrible but it seems to just be a boosting of the treble for the voice frequencies which leaves most of the other non-voice audio ALSO very tinny. I don't think this is all the fault of the soundbar, the vocal tracks in movies and TV these days seems to be drowned out by the music and sfx. I still think it is a great soundbar and am happy with my purchase.
