Short answer: the LG S90TY. It ranks #8 of 16 soundbars with a subwoofer by sound quality, rated 3.5/5, at $999.99. The Samsung HW-Q600F ranks #11, rated 3.4/5, at $697.99, $302 cheaper, which does not close the gap in sound quality.
What the LG S90TY does well: A bar with a real wireless sub that suits both TV and music, with clear dialogue and a wide front stage. It streams over Wi-Fi as well as Bluetooth, which the Samsung HW-Q600F cannot. Watch for: Without rear speakers the height effect only works for sounds in front, and RTINGS found Samsung Q800 bars such as the Samsung HW-Q800F wrap the room with Atmos far better.
What the Samsung HW-Q600F does well: A 3.1.2 bar with a dedicated center channel and up-firing drivers, paired with a wireless sub. Watch for: There is no Wi-Fi, so streaming is Bluetooth only.
Buy the LG S90TY. It is rated higher for sound quality, and saving $302 with the Samsung HW-Q600F does not make up for the sound-quality gap.
