Generally soundbar has to be more expensive than a 2.1 speaker simply because it has more features and complexity. You need design in the wireless audio for the subwoofer. You need to design in the extra LCD and the IR remote circuitry. Probably need to be able to accept more inputs(optical, hdmi, coaxial, etc). Need to decode DTS. Some comes with bluetooth function.

Still doesn't mean that many soundbars should cost over RM3k. Illogical, regardless of what they cram in.
The sad reality is that there are far more people who cares about looks and simplicity when it comes to audio equipments, rather than people who actually care about sound quality.

Why do you think beats is still surviving?  shakehead.gif

3k is probably too much 1k range seems reasonable given the extra features that they give on top of a typical 2.1 system.
