Our Verdict
LG S75QR
LG S80QR
The LG S80QR is better than the LG S75QR. The S80QR is a 5.1.3 setup with an additional up-firing center channel to improve vocal reproduction in the mix. It offers more features, too, such as room correction and Wi-Fi support. It also has a better low-frequency extension, so you notice more low-bass in the mix.
