QUOTE(stinky @ Jul 23 2018, 08:38 AM) How does he Yamaha 207 fare? If your source has DTS:X then that helps widen the soundstage. But still can't be compared to real surround setup.Can you really feel the surround with just front speakers?  |

QUOTE(doggmeister @ Jul 23 2018, 11:56 AM) it creates a 3d sound effect but mostly in front of you, so you get some sense of surround but its not the same, good enough for me though, the trade off between wire clutter and surround sound is tough for me, but for the price this was a good compromise Another one in consideration for me is Sony HT-RT5, just restocked RM1.6K, my dealer told me Yesterday. Just that it doesn't has a HDR pass though so am now considering Yamaha.Was also considering Polk Magnifi SR, but at 3.2K was too expensive for a around bar. Both has rear speakers. |

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?

Thanks for explanation. I am looking this kind of 5.1 soundbar but feel samsung bit overprice for this. Not much choice of this kind of soundbar in the market I guessed.

Finally. Lurking around for a HT sound system for so many years. Settling and put a booking on Samsung Hw N950 by yesterday, catching up with end of tax holiday.

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?
