Samsung HW-Q800F vs KEF XIO

The KEF XIO and the Samsung HW-Q800F both promise surround and Atmos support in fairly compact formats. But other than that, they're quite different. The KEF is a premium all-in-one bar with a sleek, stylish design, while the Samsung is a fairly run-of-the-mill-looking bar but adds an external subwoofer, which lets it put out more thump and rumble than the KEF. The Samsung also has a more balanced sound throughout its entire frequency response and offers more sound enhancement features like room correction, a graphic EQ, and presets. That said, the KEF inches ahead in Atmos performance, which might be important to you. In the end, the Samsung is the better value purchase, but if you desire the sleek, all-in-one design of the KEF, that's not an itch the Samsung can scratch.
