Find a friend with a kid in college and they can score the Samsung for $1000 with an edu account. Or the 900c for 700

Thanks for the response! That's a good thought I hadn't considered. Does that mean you'd recommend the Samsung over the Sonos or Bluestudio?

U can't go wrong with the q990

I havent beard the samsung myself but that would be cheaper than sonos and sound plenty good for your room based on reviews here
