Hi,

I think Sharp is totally out of the sound business as they can't really beat bigger name like SONY from Japan and the arising star from Korea like LG and SAMSUNG.
But I did come across some budget sound bar from this 3 brands I mentioned. My ears are telling me that SONY still possess one of the best sweetest sounded sound bar that worth your money.

Tested model :
SONY CT380
SAMSUNG H551
LG LAS550
All this 3 models are selling at retail/ online price at around Rm 1,000 level

Hi,

Philips is no longer owned by "Philips" itself since the original philips sold their sound business to another company, it is not serviced by Philips Malaysia too.
Pray hard if your sound bar broke down within warranty period.
