QUOTE(ben3003 @ Mar 2 2024, 09:15 PM) Im looking at sonos beam, but not sure shud spend that much or not. Another yamaha x40a seems okay also. Probably around 2-3k? Or probably can recommend like 1k can get wat, 2k can get what, 3k can get what. https://www.lazada.com.my/products/yamaha-y...-s13887935.html? https://shopee.com.my/product/897161138/237...GBoCWSIQAvD_BwE

Congrats on your new toy! cant wait to try it  this is for my working place room, i tried cheap soundbar before, the one i bought my C( and it came as free gift worth 699 i think, but the sound is.... really thin and bad lol. sold it off for like rm500. My own room at home i am using full 5.1.2 setup with speakers, i dont think it will beat my home setup, i only hope this beam can provide decent enough sound based on all the review and comment i saw, reddit or here lol. maybe future will get the sonos sub for more bass.

Tested sonos beam gen 2 via airplay apple music, amaze by the sound from a sound bar. I have personally heard some of the more expensive samsung or lg one, but those sound so much harsher and less full, just good for movie only. Yet to try movie cos no TV, late delivery 😅

has been surveying soundbar quite a while... has been quite undecisive as whether to get old but good soundbar or get 1 with dolby atmos.
old models i'm considering is Yamaha YAS 207 or LG SN11R. new model i'm considering is Sonos beam gen 2, samsung HW Q800C
i would like to ask soundbar with dolby atmos makes much difference?

Audio purist will tell you it doesn't matter, sound bar will never match a full HT setup But if space and budget is a constrain and you still want to feel some surround effects, get a system which comes with or at least expandable with satellite speakers. A single bar is not gonna give you that surround effect

Make sure to do a bit of research if those models got dolby atmos audio delay when gaming. I am using cheap entry 2021 Samsung Q600A with my LG CX and I get very noticeable audio delay on my Series X when Dolby Atmos is turned on. I know at least a person with 2020 Q950T does the same thing also. Watching movies then no problem.

A single bar is not gonna give you that surround effect This is true. I’ve just moved from a very old AVR 5.1 setup, to Sony HT-A7000, and the difference is quite obvious. But I already knew what to expect, so it was a managed expectation. I just need very decent centre for dialogue, and the HT-A7000 delivers.
