More than disappointing I´d say it is a bad "joke" that you can´t find compatible models to complete your sound system for 2 years old models.
I´m in the same situation, Q60T soundbar model 2020, impossible to find rear speakers for it.
I will sell Q60T and replace it by another brand sound system. That before buying newest Samsung soundbar which is compatible with newer rear speakers. Nonsense.
I have the same sound bar & I am struggling to get a rear speaker here in the UK?
swa8500s was available only in the US and apparently its discontinued.
Do you know where will I find one ? or is there any other Samsung wireless rear speaker or another 3rd party wireless speaker I will find here in the UK?
Hey back, From what I've seen/heard, you can try other rear speakers but you won't get the same sound or control that you would with the 8500s. I tried eBay but most times it was either being sold in pieces, without wiring, or damaged at full price (taking advantage of it being a discontinued and unavailable product). You might have better luck on the UK eBay, but I just gave up on the hunt for this unicorn
Considering that Samsung has so quickly discontinued the SWA-8500S for the roughly 2-3 year old HW-Q60T, I will no longer purchase any Samsung product and will recommend the same to others. Cannot trust a company that so quickly discontinues products in an obvious attempt to frustrate people in purchasing entire systems as opposed to upgrade them. Many are searching for the SWA-8500S rear speakers. Many won't purchase Samsung electronics in future as a result.
