LG S95TR.
LG's 9.1.5-channel system with center upfiring speakers and AI Room Calibration that adapts audio to your specific room acoustics in real-time.
The Verdict.
Gavler Meta-Score
“The LG S95TR is the channel-count champion — 9.1.5 with five upfiring drivers creates the most complete height hemisphere available. Meridian tuning and continuous AI calibration justify the premium for buyers with demanding ears and compatible LG TVs. The question is whether two additional height channels are worth $200 over Samsung's Q990D — for critical listeners in well-treated rooms, yes.”
The Gavler Verdict
Precision Engineering
9.1.5-Channel with Center Upfiring
Five upfiring drivers including center — continuous height hemisphere without the gap of 4-speaker systems.
Continuous AI Room Calibration
Real-time adjustment as room conditions change — not one-time setup, ongoing optimization.
Meridian Audio Tuning
Warmer, more refined character from legendary British audio house — sophisticated voicing throughout the frequency range.
Technical Specifications
The Scoreboard
Expert praise for channel count and Meridian tuning. Community scores lower — the premium over Samsung Q990D is hard to justify for non-critical listeners.
