I ended up going for the Sony HT-X8500, found a deal on Shopee during 12.12 sales for RM12xx with cashback biggrin.gif
The sound is really out of my expectations for a 2.1 without a dedicated subwoofer  ohmy.gif

Because your post I just bought Sony HT-X8500 blush.gif
For Movie definitely is a Best Soundbar but if play music really cannot especially the voice.

Sold my 5+ years old Sony BDV-N9200 5.1 set (it is still being sold by Sony) and got the Sony HT-X8500 set. 

Realistically, the 5.1 set is superior but I wanted to declutter my living room and speakers collect dust easily, so switched to a clean look.

As others have posted, for movies it is decent.  But music is horrible lol.

p/s Using my Nvidia Shield 2017 with VLC app to send Dolby Atmos signal to the Soundbar works well

Sad cry.gif else can exchange mine 8500 with your Sony BDV-N9200 5.1 set. cause mine Pioneer Htz-828bd just RIP.

Music really horrible, compare the clarity even my sony tv speaker s-pro sound is better.

Is the Q-series soundbar HW-Q990B & Q-series soundbar HW-Q930B perfect match with Sony TV (x90h)? Because the Sony Soundbar seem is overpriced
