Our Verdict

LG SP11RA

LG S95QR

The LG S95QR and the LG SP11RA are two very similar setups with Dolby Atmos support. The SP11RA has a more neutral sound right out-of-the-box, especially compared to the S95QR's bass-heavy sound. That said, you can use its bass and treble adjustments to get a more neutral sound if you prefer. The S95QR's satellites come with extra channels, though, so its Atmos performance is a bit better overall.
