I have been using the Philips 9100 since last year. It has been serving me well, either watching movies (DVD and Bluray) and listening to music (via Bluetooth). Easy to set up, but price is abit at the high side compare to Sony, Samsung, Pioneer and LG. I paid RM 2,699 from Harvey Norman, and recently went to ESH SS2, they quoted me RM 2,599. For a soundbar, it is expensive. At this price, you may get a entry level or simple hifi set.
As for Yamaha, they are famous with their soundbar especially the high end ones which cost about 4k++. I have tested their entry level soundbar, but not to my liking.
The reason i choose a soundbar due to few reasons, (i) Home minister don't like too many things at the TV console and (ii) my tv console can't hold too many devices.

Happy hunting.

Hi bro. How often did you use the 5.1mode (i.e. Seperating the units) over the one year of usage ? Im also thinking of the 9100 but not sure if the 5.1 is worth the premium.

Hi bro, same position as you.
Would have recommended either the Philips HTL5120 or the LG NB 4530A. But they are no longer selling.
Current models for LG would be NB 4540 or 5540, both within your budget.
I am looking at NB 5540 vs another LG HTIB set, the BH 7540TW (5.1 set with blu ray player). Happy shopping!
