Dear sifus, my old pc speaker is at the verge of dying and i need some opinions on which setup i should go with.
my budget is around 1k, but if around 500 would be best
i listens to alot music, watch videos and some home studio recording
my current setup is audio from my mobo 3.5mm (Fatal1ty H87 Performance) to the speakers.
i actually have a dac (Focusrite Scarlett 6i6) which i only use it for some recording purposes.
so my question is, will it be advisable to go with the soundbar or the normal pc's speaker?
if it's soundbar, what model recommended?
the best output that i could get should be pc>6i6>speaker/soundbar?
go get a pair of q acoustic 3020 and top up a bit for an amp.
or get samsung hw-k350 soundbar first for temperorary use until u have money to upgrade to better setup.
Hello brothers..
i am just confused to get either yamaha / sony soundbar. I am not going for few speakers.
so just 2.1 channel soundbar + subwoofer / 7.1 channel with subwoofer..
Budget in between 1k - 1.5k..
my concern is more to dolby audio with good surronding system.
After some analysis i made up my mind with YAMAHA & SONY..

- no idea all the inputs support different audio format, that means need to connect all the cable to TV ?
Personally i have tested sound for
YAS207 & HTCT800. YAS207 i did dolby sound test and it was awesome. HTCT800 just normal sound so couldn't see the difference i guess i need to dolby test again.
Input vice, HTCT800 is the winner. More ports and option. You can expend more.
Audio format HTC800 winner as well, support more.
