If i only subscribe to Netflix standard plan (no atmos), will Bose 600 or Sonos Beam create pseudo atmos sound?

Mostly watch Korean dramas, only occasionally watch a bit of movies. Maybe $359 Creative Katana V2X is enough?

Pseudo something... surround and real ambience, well it depends on the reflective surfaces, see all the past discussions on this..
Can't expect much out of a single soundbar..

I bought the q990f, the rear speakers and surround are great but I feel the woofer is not powerful. No floor rumbling.
Heard the q999D woofer is more powerful.

In the end I bought creative katana v2x $310 to replace my old creative stage V2.

Almost bought the Bose smart soundbar at around $550 (was $849) during 8.8 sale. But suddenly realise my specific needs and then gave up on the good deal.

Maybe u can try to play Youtube from a different source so that u can see if the bass output is more/less or same when playing from there...

Can try to up the bass level and turn on bass enhancement settings ba..But that being said, as mentioned depends largely on the video source.

And so I reduced the treble to minus, max the bass, also reduced the center and side channel, woofer not bad now but since it's samsung best I expect it to better
