Sony HT-Z9F vs Samsung HW-N650

Samsung HW-N650 review

I’ve managed to compare Samsung HW-N650 vs Sony HT-Z9F, the N650 uses a 5.1-channel speaker configuration with the claimed frequency range from 42 Hz to 20 kHz and a total power of 360 watts. Along with the three front channels, there are also two upstream channels - but here everything becomes interesting. These beams are directed up and to the side, bouncing off the ceiling and walls to create a much wider, higher and more exciting sound stage.

Sony HT-Z9F review

What about Sony HT-Z9F vs Samsung HW-N650, the vertical sound processor does a wonderful job expanding the soundstage format. Films are felt both in width and in height, although, of course, this is not the classic Dolby Atmos mise-en-scene. Movies with Atmos sound on the Sony HT-ZF9 sound more exciting thanks to Dolby Speaker Virtualizer. The imitation of the surround sound is impressive and really creates the feeling of amazing immersion with the front-facing ZF9 drivers. However, Dolby Speaker Virtualiser sounds awful when playing music. However, like most audio systems, sharpened by the soundtrack of films. ZF9 ideally plays the role of a standard sound system for the living room. Of course, there is definitely an optimal place to listen. Its power is 400W and it features 3.1 built-in channels.
