What is the soundbar model?

It's Samsung soundbar. Heard Samsung is only good in TV and not very good in soundbar. Better get other sound system. What's your opinion?

I'm using the Samsung HW7501 8.1ch curved soundbar and the sound beat all sony sub 2K soundbar. I'm a sony fanboy so I'm a bit disappointed here. You can try it before you buy and if the model it the same as mine then with 1k to get the soundbar it is worth it. Now it price around 1.6k to 1.7k. I bought it around 2k.

I don't think it's your model. Because my tv isn't the curve model. It's 55JS8000 with flat screen. So, I assume the soundbar would be the flat type. How about if the soundbar to be substituted by Pioneer 329k with AJ speaker and woofer (5.1)? Does it perform better than soundbar? But the cost is slightly more which is about 3k.

Cannot compare. Sound bar is not a HT to start with. Is just merely a speaker + sub. But if you ask me of course getting Pioneer AVR + speakers will beat sound bar hands down.

Currently looking for a soundbar to replace my TV speaker (sound muffled because of down firing speakers?) Saw the JBL SB100 having promotion now at RM399. But from the website, it seems this model has discontinued?

http://www.jbl.com.my/cinema-sb100-powered...cinema-439.html

Beside the JBL, another other soundbar to recommend for budget below RM500?

I bought a JBL Cinema Base couple weeks back.
Was stock clearance RM1059, due to newer models coming up. Originally retailing for RM1899 previously. Pretty satisfied for the price. Harman Kardon yo. Great for the living room.

Definitely the Sony.

The LG has more forward and pronounced mids, while the Sony has a slightly better kick in the bass. Both aren't really that good in sound quality to be honest, but if these 2 are your choices, then the Sony is a no brainer because of its functionality it provides.

I wonder why no one has recommended Sonos?

The Playbar is one of the nicest sounding soundbars I have heard so far.
