Ha, I appreciate it.  But at 2500.00 that’s about a grand more than the one I’m replacing.  Also, perhaps it’s just me, but I do have a hard time in stores comparing different sound bars.  They have their special setups and such to show it off.  Sometimes it’s hard to figure out how well it would sound at home

It’s not just you. I should have mentioned that recreating your own home environment is almost impossible. But you can still get an idea of the frequency response. I've never shopped for a soundbar, so I'm not sure what you mean by special setups. Perhaps just a treated room? I can't stress how important that is. And reading your above post, your current soundbar was $1,500? That should be pretty decent quality. If it's not sounding good, it's either defective or the room is eating it up. I'd guess the latter. Also, at the link for the Sennheiser, they even have a part where they instruct you how to set up a room. Like they're saying "Don't spend $2,500 on this without treating the room, unless you like throwing away $2,500."

Yes, I did spend close to that on the bar/sub and whatever else came with it. The sound quality is/was good.  I had no objections to that.  It’s just whether or not it plays the sound is my problem.  This particular bar seems to be a bust.  I’ve found forums and other stuff online about it all with the same issue.  It’s just hit or miss on whether or not it works. There will be be spurts that it’s working other times it seems to be in perpetual “updating” mode.  Samsung hasn’t exactly been cooperative or supportive even in warranty situations.  When it works it’s pretty damn good iMO.  Despite all that, it m not in the market for one.  I kinda quit caring.  I kinda feel my family has spent too much time on technology and such.  As far as the displays... they have setups of their higher end systems in a room.  This is Best Buy, btw.  I didn’t know where else to go.
