Bros, I'm been searching for a home system to accomodate mu plasma tv.
As I do not want the messy wires, thus my search has streamed to soundbar which is simple yet quite powerful (although not as good as those custom sets).
Do you think it's good enough to accomodate for movies and music?
I'd been searching and found few brands which offering soundbar (Samsung, Philips, Yamaha, Denon).

Which one would you recommend?

Are you looking for surround sound thru soundbar? In order for the soundbar to work you will need a 4 walls / square room for the surround to reflect back to ur ears. This is not quite achievable when placed in living room.

As for your question, yes it is good for small to medium size room but most soundbars were designed for movies purpose. And you will need a partnering sub.

u can try pinoneer or keewood

Hi all, i am looking for home theater system for my bed room too. To avoid messy wiring and space constrant also lead me to sound bar.

For info, some of the sound bar do not required wall to reflect the sound, it uses tme delay to create the 'surround'

Anybody know, where can i find shop who sell a lot of sound bar, want to test these sound bar.

Ronn77 are you from KL? Maybe we can do the testng together.

I heard the Yamaha soundbars are actually good...

Go to Harvey Norman@ikano. There's a room for you to audition the Yamaha YSP soundbars.

enrique, I'm in Puchong..maybe we can meet and share the comment to get a better unit.

I did look on Yamaha YSP 2000 and 3000 series, looks ok and the sounds not bad. Samsung is more for design and the sound is fine too and cheaper. To my ears, Denon seems a good choice but the price is $4500 but it comes with subwoofer.

Actually I plan to put it in living room. According to our bros here says that soundbar is just fine for small to medium room, do you think I will not get a good sound quality if I put in my living room?

The Yammy Soundbar sold here comes with subwoofer too. Forget about the YSP2000. Go for at least the 3000 and if budget permits, the 4000.

The Sammy soundbar does not have builtin amp. It's more of just an extended speaker system, unless you are talking abt the one with builtin DVD player

my uncle has the YSP4000.. he coupled with a SVS sub (old downfiring box type) and setup was in living room. I must say the overall sound was

Ok, thanks. Will go there to check it out.

You are sound bar user? Which model you are using?

Bro, we can do servey together huh! Want to start with Ikano Harvey norman?
How much is the ysp 2000, 3000 and 4000? Where you audit the Denon?

Why forget about the 2000? How much is the 4000 selling price now?

yamaha is going to launch new sound bars. ysp-5100, ysp-4100 & ysp 3100 which can generate pseudo-7.1 channels sound (of cause with a sub.) soon

At this RM4000 you can get a budget seperate system that easily blow the sound bar out of the water. For me soundbar is just a gimmick system. How can you produce surround sound if you don't have speakers at the back? Jmho.

When are they planning to luanch? Any article?

We don't plan to get a separate system, due to messy wire and space constraint.
Sound bar can produce surround sound by using either wall reflection or time delay method.
Yes, sound bar will be weak at back sound stage. But their sides sound stage seems better.

read here from the star on YSP 4100 & 5100 etc.:

If you are looking at spending above 5k, then wait for the latest... If you have budget contraint, then can get YSP3000 or the smaller YSP900, YSP600 or lesser .. even the older YSP-1 or YSP1100.. All these, I think would be below 4k..... the only model above 4k is the YSP4000.

There is a lot of type of soundbar, therefore look at the tech involve... YSP uses wall reflection, other could use time delay and other type...

I would not say other saparate would blow the YSP out of the water.. in the correct room.. YSP sound as good or even better than equivalent system.. but "in the correct room"

Maybe other YSP user can give their comment as well.. But I am satisfied with my YSP.....

the Denon I saw is in Mid valley, sound quality wise is great but the price is on a higher side.

Today take a look on a Samsung sound bar which comes with dvd player. Design wise looks the best among all models and the sound is quite decent too and only @ $1999 (Mid Valley HN).

Should I get the ammy or just wait for new Yamaha series?

Understand that the new Yamaha series will be more expensive than the Denon, so its your call...

The Samsung look nice but I would suggest you try to listen to the lower end YSP.. ie the YSP600 or YSP900 that is below 3k... But these model do not come with dvd player... like the samsung...

not me.. richard..
