  I think the Bravia Acoustic Center Sync is useful if you buy a Soundbar that doesn't have a central channel or your TV is positioned quite far from your soundbar. All of the soundbars you're looking at will have a much better centre channel.

  The passthrough from Soundbar to TV is of no consequence imo. You're better off connecting stuff to the TV, and ensuring the TV has good passthrough to the Soundbar. The TV has much less data to pass through, than the Soundbar would.

  I don't think there's any issue with mixing brands here, or any benefit to choosing the same brand. All three are well-rated, and the Samsung is also a great value.

  I was at a similar crossroads two months ago. I chose the Bose w/Bass Module because music performance was paramount to me (it's also my music system), and it was cheaper / more readily available than the matching Sony w/subwoofer. I was replacing a 2010 Samsung 5.1, which had been a less than perfect experience, so I wanted to try someone different, and I could afford the significant difference in price (if you factor in subwoofer and rears).

  The Bose 900 is currently $1133 at Good Guys Commercial: https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/714882

  I got the Q990B yesterday to use with my Sony 75" X90J.

  Works fantastic.

  Cheapest i could find it was 1200aud which was cheaper than all the others and sounded the best to me when testing in store

  I have my bar connected through eARC and pass through on the tv turned on. I don't have a console so not sure how to setup VRR with it

  If I get soundbar without 4k /120 passthrough, will it affect sound quality?

  No, this does not impact sound quality. This will only impact the refresh rate if you intend on connecting a console such as a Series X, PS5 or compatible computer to the sound bar, and passing it through to the TV. To get around this, plug the computer or console into one of the HDMI 2.1 ports directly to achieve 120 Hz.

  Should I go with Sony A7000 because I have Sony Bravia TV and that will make them compatible and ultimately produce better sound than other soundbars?

  You'll more likely notice the lack of the rear speakers and subwoofer of the Q990B which is why my vote is for the Q990B.

    thanks.
    So regarding 4k/120p, If I connect my TV to the soundbar, it doesn't matter in terms of loss of any sound quality if soundbar has 4k@120p or 4k@60p ?
