Walao..... price YAS108 dropped so much. In mid of May 2019,  I bought below RM833 (after RM25 discount) from Lazada which the cheapest that time. That was before YAS109 launched.

The reason I choose this soundbar which got built in sub woofer is that you can add on sub woofer subsequently if you feel that really need sub woofer. How often you watch movie in your TV? If really need, just buy another sub woofer such as Polk Audio /Yamaha brand etc which can wire connect to YAS108. End up it is better than Yamaha yas-209 in total since YAS108 soundbar drivers is better than YAS209 and YAS209 sub woofer just basic version only.

mostly depends on your usage.

(there is series from 107~109, 107 with 1 hdmi, 108 got 2 hdmi, 109?? no idea as i didnt do detail research on it, almost 99% of the review will say 109 > 108 > 107, theoretically yes, but it would best if u go try test urself, i doubted it becoz 3 looks identical, same same je, my guess is like 107 only 1 hdmi, so 108 add on alexa & 2 hdmi, mayb 109 add on extra feature again)
for me i pick yas 108
1. no available 107 stock at that time. 
2. dont require subwoofer as my kid is still small, and my house soundproof not that good, if volume too loud kena complain 1.
3. up gradable to connect extra subwoofer in the future, currently budget contraint 
4. turn on volume 15 i can feel my window shaking already, yea without the woofer it kinda lack of the punch, but i m very satisfy with it.
5. yamaha home theater app offer a few preset setting, i feels like movie mode is the best for both movie & music 

currently in hypermood, tonight go back do another of pes2020 1st 

yas sound performance @volume 10  = smart samsung nu8000 2.0speaker @volume 15~16

connect via ark.
yas 108 comes with 1 hdmi arc (speaker) + 1 hdmi input (i connect it on tvbox).
i only tested sound output for yas 108 only, yet to test on yas 108 + tv but i reckon yas 108 is more than enough for sound output.

Got my Q950T from TBC at RM 3790 on merdeka day ... XD

Honestly for watching movie, its quite impressing, but for Audio, it cannot even compete at all with my 4 years old LG 7.1 home theater. 

But since moving in to condo, so a compact and wireless soundbar is needed. Anyway still a good buy huh...

Why don’t you consider Q700 instead. It support Atmos and I think can add in surround as option as well.

No need bro, you will get Atmos using native Netflix, Prime Video, Apple TV on your NU8000
eARC is only important if you play BlueRay disc and passthrough from TV to soundbar if you wanna get lossless Atmos. Otherwise, ARC can transmit lossly signal.
Technically yes, more drivers will drive the sound better.

Can a good Atmos soundbar outperform or at least comparable with a 5.1 Home Theather system?

What is a good all-in-one soundbar for a budget of RM 2k?

Been looking at the Sony HT-X8500 and Samsung HW-S60A but have still been undecided. Any other glaring options I should consider?

I went Harvey Norman to check YAS209, not up to my liking, but the YSP1600 quality is fuller and caught my attention. Upon checking price, it is 2.15k but been 5@6 years old already.

I will check Q700A again and see if it match YSP1600 quality

I pulled my trigger on Q950A, no regrets and my friends are impressed with it as well. They are going to get it also.

I read somewhere theres a new model coming out soon. Just dont waste time on those budget soundbar, initially I wanted to get the highly rated Yamaha YAS209 but turn out when I went harvey norman to test it, even my wife is not impressed, some how some what we check and tested the Q950A and that is the one that makes my jaw drop.

Thinking to get Sony HT-S20R for my small hse.. Setup using TV box Bluetooth to this... Is it recommended?
Or any alternative to consider? My budget not much 300-700 not sure can I get decent sound system or not?

Q800b vs q930b. Rtings.com review seems not much difference between them, how about real life?

Just bought Samsung HW-A650, is the SWA-9200S surround speaker compatible with the soundbar?
Watch a reviewer in youtube said compatible but asking 1 more time here just for confirmation

That is around rm4k.. Over my budget
Best i can get for q930b is 2.6k, q800b  2.2k
