Just got myself the Philips HTS9140 from the Philips warehouse sale for RM700 - a steal. A brand new set will cost about 3k. This set comes with a 3D blu-ray player with high specs. The older model does not have the 3D blu-ray player. The bar itself has 7 speakers plus a passive sub woofer. The 500w power output is good enough for a medium size hall. Sound is crisp and bass is not overpowering but I am not an audiophile so this is good enough for me. Got this as I do not want to have a lot speaker wires. If you want a true 3D surround effect, I suggest you get 5.1 system. A cheaper alternative will be a set of 5.1 pc speakers but with HDMI or optical input.
