I was actually at Harvey Norman yesterday testing out these 3 speakers for an hour:

1. Yamaha YAS 207
2. Samsung HW-550
3. LG SK6

I honestly thought the LG SK6 was the nicest sounding (however lack of bass power compared to the other 2) tho reviews on the internet are saying Yamaha YAS 207 has the overall best sound quality and value for money. Didn't seem that way when I was testing tho : bass was overwhelming and the sound was lacking clarity despite tweaking the audio settings myself hmm.gif

Time to visit another Harvey Norman to try out. cool2.gif

Yes bro. Lg sk6 bass is weak, thats why now im not looking into it anymore. Volume also not really loud.

Tried the sony CT390, cheaper than sk6. the bass is strong. Strong volume too. But in term sound voice lose to sk6 abit but decent. Probably will get this CT390. Current issue is my wall mount tv is those fix type, need to get a male to female adapter for optical cable.

I listened to both CT800 and YAS207 side by side at HN mid this year, went for YAS207 in the end. I’d suggest you go hear both yourself if possible tongue.gif
I did give a brief short impression month ago if you use the search function.

bro, how much you bought YAS 207? Thinking of buying one ...i also see CT800 at 1.1k which is cheaper than 207 about 1.5k.

Hi guys planning to buy a soundbar however I'm a bit confused about the connections setup.

I have an android box connected to the TV currently using hdmi. Planning to channel sound from both android box and analogue TV channels to soundbar.
Just checked that my TV supports HDMI ARC.

So if I plan to buy the soundbar which of the following is more suitable?
1)TV box > hdmi > soundbar >hdmi >TV
2) Or connect the TV box and soundbar separately to the TV using hdmi

Is there any difference between the 2 setups
Help is greatly appreciated!

Hi...just bought yas207..just want to ask a better setup..

Currently i hook up my console game to tv with hdmi and use optical from tv to soundbar.. is it good enough?

Or its better to hook up my console directly to soundbar and used hdmi to tv..
