so for budget below 1k, instead of getting a soundbar do you think it will be better to get PC speakers like Edifier S1000 ? looking for a sound system for my new TV, but dont plan to spend more than 1k. Want it mainly for Movies..... you think PC speakers will be better ? saw LG SH5 going for about RM899 too... 320W with sub.. but dunno hows the sound quality ...

Whatever you do don't get those small tiny PC speakers. It will almost be like what the TV reproduces. For AV purposes, get something with a subwoofer. No sub, no bass and no bass, no syok. You can get a decent pair of bookshelf speakers but then again, where are you going to stick the connecting wires into (your tv)? You either need a "powered" system i.e. speakers that requires electricity to amplify the sound from the tv with their internal amp, or a separate amp to do it (for normal speakers). Powered system will be connected from the tv to the powered speakers via a RCA cable. PC speakers are a waste of time as you can imagine just how much noise/sound it can reproduce from those small small speakers. Any mainstream brands that has two main speakers and a sub will do ok. All depends on your budget and the available space. Me, and because of space constraint, I opted for the Focal Dimension. Now my TV sits on the sub whereas the speakers are in fornt of the sub.
