So I went out Wednesday and got my new 75 inch Samsung QLED Q7FN, now I have a HT decision ahead of me.

Now I have my super size TV, and I move the my 65 inch to the bedroom. I decided to move my onkyo 2.1 with the 65 into the bed room. Because Samsung gave me a surprise offer. Get a HW-MS750 for 275 as a special offer. Prompting me to think about upgrading the HT in the living room.

option 1
Get a Beam. I am not a fan of the playbase and playbar because of lack of HDMI for the price. The Beam might get me to move to sonos for HT. But I am not sold on it, since it seems to be marketed for people looking for a boost in sound quality over the flatscreen speakers. But since it is not out yet. I really do not know 100% if the sound of the beam can match the playbase or playbar. So I have not ruled out the Beam yet.

option 2
Take the deal and spend 275 and get the Samsung HW-MS750. Seem to have a good sound stage with the upward firing tweeter. But all the older Samsung speakers I ever heard were marginal at best. But people said the sound+ series form Samsung has taken their sound quality to a new level. Getting close to the higher end competition.

option 3
Look at other sound bars in the 300 range, from Yamaha or Canton or Onkyo. And call it a day.

Dame Samsung. Getting me to rethink my HT needs with the new TV. Should have never open the offer.

    Cool thread, but the most important question is being overlooked: A 65 inch TV in your BEDROOM? 😃

    Yeah a 65inch 4k in the bedroom. I need to rethink it. The old HT system is not going to work as well as I hope. It fires into the bed. I need to get a soundbar to mount over the TV. But good for me my neighbor wants my old onkyo.
