anyone tried edifier b7? How does it compare to sony ht-ct380?

I am looking for soundbar for 55inch TV in double storey terrace living area. Was torn btw Sony CT 390 and CT 790. Visited Sony booth for this guy Ah Ket after recommended by someone.


CT390 (RM999)
- decent sound
- shorter soundbar, too mini (if to fit under a 55inch, it is recommended for 40 inch)
- voice clarity lose too much to CT 790 if compared side by side

CT790 (RM1299)
- just nice to fit 55inch TV (slightly shorter about 1 inch than TV length)
- voice clarity superb! Very impressive, couldnt believe this is from a soundbar RM1k+
- 3 HDMI compared to CT390 (only 1) TV, Astro, TV box, Bluray, you need min 3 HDMI

The winner is obvious, took the CT790 home. Cant wait to try it when the house is ready

Also tried out the more expensive model

NT5 (RM2k+)
- unmatched sound quality, rock the floor
- in lower volume, CT790 actually come close, but much less ohm

RT3 (RM899)
-not recommended so didnt test, claimed even worse than CT380
-amp in build in in wired subwoofer instead of soundbar. too much wire.
-600W at only 899, sure got something fishy..

RT5 (RM2k+)
-good for surround sound, didn't test.
-overbudget, extra rear speaker defeat the purpose of using soundbar

Also learned that soundbar like CT390,790,NT5 should be placed flat on TV console in a standard double storey living area connected to dining area (sound to be reflected at ceiling for better effect). Do not hang it on wall unless it is a smaller room with 2 side walls. There is a reason for these soundbar to be designed flat and speaker pointing up.
*except those soundbar pointing forward like ST9

For those from JB. Look for this guy Ah Ket from Wong Electronic, Century Garden. Really pro product specialist, not those salesman that malas layan you or just merely turn up the volume, knowing nth about the product.

Let us know how's the sound once you set it up

I am thinking of using Samsung radiant 360 r1 speaker as surround for my hw-j7501 sound bar setup. Anyone tried before ?

im from jb, so the price is nett at 1299?

im looking for a soundbar too, it seems that my current choice is limited to only this 790 as well

I got a JBL 350 Soundbar from lucky draw, is it any good?

Just bought the Bose Soundtouch 300 combo without the surround speakers for my living room, hopefully will arrive tomorrow and have a review for everyone.

It was in contention with the Sonos Playbar but unfortunately the Sonos doesn't do 4K, so I wanted something future proof. In hindsight, I should have actually got the Samsung soundbar as it supported Dolby Atmos.......

hi guys... im looking for a soundbar for my room...
im connect 4k android tv box, ps4 pro, and astro to my 4k tv

can recommend any good soundbar for me?

i need 3 HDMI input (2 support 4K) at least.... and a optical output thats all...

thanks

with so many hdmi, i think best is get sony punya soundbar
the ct790 or nt5 depends on the budget
or the yamaha high end model

yea... so far i only see Sony have enought IO for me... downside is 2.1 only....

yamaha i think have 1 hdmi 4k pass-through only which i need at least 2, sorrect me if im wrong

thanks

i think 790 can add rear wireless, but not cheap

Sony CT790 @RM1199 now sale at JayaOne PJ.

Grab one if you need. I'm still thinking. ...pokkai recently

U try and let us know. JayaOne selling @rm1.6k

About 3500 ringgit here.

Sounds great, make sure you go through the calibration a few times and move things around to get the best sound.

It only comes with the soundbar and remote. If you want more you'll have to get the subwoofer and surround speakers separately.

Lookin' for this model. only RM1199
What is the shop name ?

if u buy it at gem5, the 790 shud cost u ard 1.1k only

Thanks for the recommendation!
Yeah went there & checked around 1.1k, great deal.

But I never buy electrical stuff from Internet, are they trustworthy ?

Just saw this new Xiaomi MI soundbar. release last month only looks interesting!
Wonder who can bring in M'sia.

Sound is amazing, subwoofer does an awesome job. Never owned any soundbar/sound system so i don't exactly know how to compare but it's definitely better than the TV speaker lol

Yup Sony soundbar sound is really good. Me nene using ht-st7 for two years and satisfied with it. Now planning to get ht-st9 for its 4K support. Btw, let me know if anyone interested to buy my current ht-st7 from me
