Hi all, was looking back few pages. Found that following models.
SAmsung HW-J7501 Sony RT5:
My concern:
Without rare speaker, can really perform surround? My living room not in square shape, not solid walls as well. Understand most soundbars r using sound reflection to perform well.
My living room: right side - Glass panel door, opposite tv - Glass cabinet, left side - another glass panel ? =.=
TV - Samsung KU55"
Anyone try Samsung Latest Model ? K series sound bar? where come with rare speaker as well ?

You can detach from the main speaker and put at the rear. No wires!!! Those stated emulate surround sound not really effective on living room and also not that great compare to rear physical speaker. How about RT5? So Philips really good? I'm from east Malaysia, is quite hard for me to get those brands. I can access to brands like Sony, Samsung or whatever in senheng / senQ. What other models? Budget can be higher.

However, I skipped their range of Soundbar because of the higher price and average sound on their sub RM2000 models. I never test RT5 before but it got rear speaker which is kinda nice and if it is wireless and battery operated even better IMO, I hate wires. I recommend you go listen each one with your own sample music/movie. If got budget I will get Fidelio B5, it looks unique compare to the regular soundbar.  Will try to test out philip if there is a chance. Looking forwarding Samsung Latest series soundbar. where come with rare speaker as well .
