Anyone audited/compared it with Sony ht-a7000 with rs5 rear and sw5 sub before?

A7000 should be compared with Q990C instead

bang for buck Samsung will always win over Sony. the fact that you get full set system (sub + rears) for a lower price than Sony, and the sound quality is not far off as well

Good to know. I have the older set with Harman Kardon collab. So thinking of trying A7000 instead this round 😀

Is there any big difference between samsung q700c vs q600c? My living room is small only...

Or just get q700b instead for saving? Pls help

Actually, can soundbar provide dolby atmos effect or fake dolby atmos?

It can mimic the surround sound. Or you can call it fake surround sound.

Interested to get a entry level soundbar to try try,

budget about RM1-2k max,

is below three models which one more suitable as entry level soundbar?

- LG SP8A
- Philips TAB8805/67
- Sony HT-S40R

Slight below 2k. Philips TAB8967 ( 5.1.2 )

Hey bro,
I guess you are using the same model right ?
How was it ?
And mind sharing where do you get yours ?

Try sony s2000. U can get it below 2k during sales

Interesting,

Can add wireless subwoofer and wireless rear speakers later on..

Saw Sony Centre @ Mid Valley Megamall selling <RM1800..

Yep a direct competitor to sonos beam 2

hmm...

another brand/product that need study..

the more brands/models compare,
the easier lose focus..
haha

Yes.
I think the lowest price soundbar with wireless sub and rear.
Sound is great, but sure cant compete with higher tier (and price) from sony/jbl/sonos..

Great sound from atmos input.. DD5.1 also supported.. not sure about DTS-X.. didnt have any av sample from dts-x.

Sound setting as usual, bass/treable, subwoofer/rear/center.
Atmos preset 3 step.
Subwoofer preset 6 step.

Preset eq:
movie (somehow this eq the voice abit low - on low volume, better if high volume)
music (not so great)
voice and stadium eq much better at least for me for movie watching ( the voice much clearer)

Got it at Harvey Norman 1U, 3 months back iirc.. on sales.

hey, thanks for sharing your review,
initially would consider those 5.1 setup but the new 3.1 setup seems can do the job well...
hmm...

Which soundbar got subwoofer output

5.1 is always better than 3.1.. more channels is better.

Have you bought your soundbar? I'm also looking at the SP8A. From the online reviews seems that it's quite worth the price at below 1.5k. Not sure if there are any better options at this price range?

for atmos like.. should be 3.1.2 rite. .2 for the virtual from top sound

but if u prefer surround sound (with sound from the back), better off with 5.1.(2) system..

Top up a bit then can get Samsung Q800C. hehe...
