do u recall whats the price for 9100 in MV Carrefour?
I saw B5 selling in Harvey Norman Citta Mall, 3k plus...

Looking to purchase an entry level soundbar. Shortlisted Philips HTL5140B vs Sony CT370. Unsure which one is better hence asking here for advices. I do own a sony led tv and i mostly gonna use it for songs (spotify) and games. Hope you all can give me some advice on this..thanks

Since you have Sony TV should buy don't sound bar

D'legend still have stock for 9100, will go to survey Tmr... Anymore nice soundbar?

Just bought the Samsung UA48H6340 TV, any 5.1 soundbar to recommend? I don't have space for 5.1 home theater, I'm living in a small apartment, and I don't wanna see wires everywhere, hence looking for soundbar..

Btw, for those who do not have 5.1 soundbar or 5.1 home theater, when playing bluray movies with 5.1 audio, does the TV speaker play the audio well? Will it be like very loud on some scenes (especially action scenes), then very soft on dialogue scenes?

I'm looking for ct370 also, any review from forumers?

Hey guys, any difference between B5 and 9100?

So, finally got a brief listen to the Philips HTL9100 successor the Fidelio B5.

The good news, it sounds just as good as the HTL9100. The rear speakers now have auto volume adjustment based on how far you them apart and from your sitting position.
Previously, the rear speakers on the 9100 will play at the same volume of the 9100 and the only way to reduce the rear volume was to actually move the speakers further away from you. On the B5, the speakers will automatically adjust the volume so that rear audio is always lower than the front audio (which is how proper multi channel setups are done).

So sound quality wise, everything still stands. Nice, upfront midrange with a good sub that has authority and depth. Treble is nicely balanced and is there when the source needs it without sounding too harsh. Soundstage is again extremely wide due to the fact that the B5 is a 4.1 setup.

But there's where the good news end. For whatever reason, the sample that I got to test and also another unit that I re-tested at a store, there's distortion. I used a variable amount of sources (from games to demo discs to actual movies), but there's distortion on the soundbar itself (not the sub).
This was not present in the 9100, but for whatever reason the high-mids runs into distortion when the soundbar gets stressed (very apparent in action scenes). No amount of EQ solved the problem either, so it's definitely a driver limitation (of which again, didn't occur on the HTL9100).

I cannot talk about the battery life of the rear speakers, the HTL9100 tops out at 7 hours at 60% volume. Philips rep is telling me the rear speakers will hit 10 hours now at least, regardless of volume level but I'm skeptical about that.

Price of the Fidelio B5 is still RM2999. Recommended? I don't think so. I'd suggest to go hunt and snatch up the remaining HTL9100 that are being sold for under RM2.3k at the moment instead.

...., go for the HTL5140b. The Philips is simply a better soundbar, audio wise.

How much is this and where should I purchased it from?

Harvey Norman and Desa Home Theatre? I saw that they had stocks a few weeks ago.

It's roughly 1.3k before GST at Harvey Norman.
