Our Verdict

LG SP9YA

Samsung HW-Q800B

The LG SP9YA and the Samsung HW-Q800B are both 5.1.2 setups, but the Samsung is better overall. The Samsung has better surround sound and Atmos performances, so sound effects are reproduced with greater clarity and accuracy in multi-channel content. Unlike the LG, it comes with a graphic EQ, too, which gives you more control over the bar's sound.
