QUOTE(ck77 @ Feb 26 2021, 08:55 AM) Don't think so unless used units. But this is only 2.1 right?If new best bet is Sony HT-X8500 https://www.sony.com.my/electronics/sound-bars/ht-x8500  I prefer 3.1 cause has a center speaker which produce more dialog... What about LG SN7Y or Philips TAPB603? |

QUOTE(ck77 @ Feb 27 2021, 08:23 AM) Sure if its fit your budget Today went to HN Sunway Velocity to try out some soundbars. Due to budget constrain, I tested the Samsung T650 & Q60T, then the LG SN6Y & SN8Y(these 2 are intro by the sales person). I would say the Samsung models that fits my budget, after comparing it with LG ones, really sounds quite lots of difference in term of bass & clarity level.Didn't get to test out Sony as need to go back home early as tomorrow kids have to start school ady...

Even though its 2.1, the floor space you are placing it in really makes a big impact if its a small living room and you can find the sweet spot Well, this is my 1st soundbar, so totally a newbie so plenty of things need to learn from sifus here. Didn't get to try this X8500 yet at HN Sunway Velocity, but I'm kinda prefer deeper bass type of person. Care to share which 5.1 soundbar you switched over from to this X8500? I downgraded fr a 5.1 system to this, no regrets As of now, my source of videos & tv programs is from tvbox. The max sound format from the tvbox I think is only Dolby Digital. The reason I wanted Dolby Atmos is because my newly bought TV has this feature. And also maybe in the future might subscribe to other service provider such as Netflix if my family is interested with. So beside HN, which shop in KV that have more brands/type of soundbar under one roof? So that I can test few models at one shot can save time from running around few shops and usually situation like this might end up messing up my decision making in the end... |

QUOTE(thirumaran @ Mar 1 2021, 08:55 AM) If deeper bass then X8500 won't work. Nice tv you got there...I sold off my sony bdv-n9200w and got the x8500 mainly for Atmos and decluttering my small condo. Also I tend to change sound systems every 5 yrs (I take extended warranty), so I prefer not to spend too much. Am using this soundbar with Sony X90H. I'm using the Sony X80H after my Samsung tv panel suddenly giving me issues... My living area is sort of like an open space where previously some walls are knocked down so that the area will look wider and spacious... And of course I like deeper bass as it will feel like in the cinema  |
