Any feedback or views on Sharp HT SB603 sound bar? PWP at RM999 at KL AV fair? How does Sharp fair against  Samsung, LG etc ? Cant test at the fair with music blasting ard every where near Sharp booth. Thks
*
Empire ESH also selling that sb at that price no need pwp at all.

for price under 1k…that soundbar is worth to get…2 hdmi input some more.

sound wise more or less same like lg soundbar sound.

just a downside is that remote…the soundbar display is not on the soundbar but on the remote. some ppl might like that bulky remote but i dont find it intuitive.

somemore the soundbar driver no grille to cover, beware poke poke on tweeter.

Thks bro. Yes remote big like rocket launcher! Didnt notice there was no grill. Will check it again.

if u willing to spend more… i still recommend Yamaha YAS-107 combo with Klipsch R-8SW. lazada has both.

so that you can turn on yas-107 only when watching astro to enhance dialogue and turn on the klipsch when watching movie to feel the rumbling.

this is quite surprising, 207 has crossover issues which are well documented..people buying must not be those who have done any research into this model, hence botak's recommendation get the 107 and subwoofer separately which is what i did
*
all slim profile soundbar are like that, crossed higher and dialogue might comes out from subwoofer.

but that's not a problem if the subwoofer is placed near to the soundbar. watching movie is fine, just listening music not sound as fuller je…

btw, for typical user who stays in condo who place their soundbar and subwoofer on one side of wall, and they sit on the sofa which placed on another side of wall, there will be a lot of room gain for bass…try to tune it so that won't sound too boomy.

Yas-207 seems to be the more popular soundbar in KLIAV.
Was sold out today when I was there.
For that pricing you can also just get it from Harvey Norman.

not surprise. out of so many soundbars i have heard, those sony lg samsung etc when you listen at low to mid volume still ok, but when you crank it up the volume the ear piercing treble is unbearable. yahama got this right and better than the rest. some more the slim profile side firing subwoofer looks better and more suitable for contemporary interior design.

Yes agreed with you. Overpriced n only 1/1 HDMI port. I wonder how it can be 5.1 with only soundbar n 1 woofer? Sufficient to produce 5.1 surround sound?
*
technically n650 is 2+3.1 soundbar. the 2 tweeter firing in flute chamber makes the soundstage wider.

Checking on  Samsung HW-N650 to complement my Samsung TV. Reviews are good. Price wise I think not bad. Anyone using this or any other recommendation on similar price with equally good sound?

Looking 5.1 channels like Samsung too. The Samsung HW-N650 is around RM2k.

I see, I should choose stereo mode right when playing music?

(you might want to set the cinema dsp off, playback mode to different output, disable clear voice and enhancer, enable bass extension, subwoofer based on your liking, tone control 0)
