Audition both the Yamaha 209 and Q70R, not Q60R. Q70R sounds much better than the 209. Ikat perut for 3 months, go for the Q70R, RM400 more. Use Shopee 12 months installment with Maybank card.

Use Shopee 12 months installment with Maybank card. The q70 cost more rm400 more if I'm not mistaken. I'm reluctant to take the q90 because of the rear speakers. I dont need additional wires running around. I take a look at q70r or q80r. Thanks for the info...

Q70R and Q80R big different in sound quality.

Q90R rear speakers has up firing speakers but Q80R optional rear speakers without up firing speakers. Addition RM1200 for the rear speakers, too much to pay. Everything else the same.

If it does require power then another hassle with the wire running down.

Collected my Q80R last saturday after waiting for almost 3 weeks. Paid under RM2,900. Have been enjoying it since. For those who are eyeing Q70R, my advise save up a bit more or "ikat perut" and go for the Q80R. The sound processing of the Q80R is much better that my Marantz SR5000 AVR HT 5.1.2 which made up of Wharfedale Diamond 9.5, Audio Pro sub when watching Netflix and Astro. Watching EPL and motorsport with Q80R brings out the atmosphere that you are there. However listening to Spotify and XiiaLive online radio, the HT sound marginally better than the Q80R. Watching DVD and blueray disc, sound super clear.

I was thinking between q70r and q80r.. but my living room does not have a wall on one of the sides, so surround wouldn't really work I guess?

QUOTE(Hartigan @ Jan 16 2020, 03:11 PM) Hi all, planning to get a 5.1 channel soundbar to watch blu-ray & dvd movies I'm decided to get the Sony HT-S500RF, comes with Dolby Digital & dts soundtrack I'm currently using Sony X7000G 4k tv, is it true that the tv connect to the soundbar with HDMI (arc) will not output those blu-ray films with dts-hd or LPCM in 5.1ch soundtrack? Thanks. Any ideas on it? Really need some suggestion
