Hi guys,

I am looking for a soundbar namely to replace the TV speaker.
I am looking at the 3.1 system because I am a bit hard of hearing (worked in high noise area, improper use of earplug )

I went and try out the soundbars at BD, Sony and I do notice 3.1 gives better voice clarity compared to 2.1
I do find 5.1 is a bit of an overkill for a soundbar, considering my budget is only 1.5k.

So, the ones I've tested is

Samsung HW-K551
Sonos Playbar
Sony HT-CT-390

Saw some 3.1 system from Panasonic but did not audit yet.

If there are any better ones, please advice.

Thanks.
