After using Phillips Fidelio B5 for few months, am very happy with it. Sound is good, the subwoofer provide more oomph, and best thing is the speaker is detachable and Walla, now you get a decent 5.1 surround channel. It also detect Netflix and my HM sound formats

Only downside is when connecting via ARC to TV, the volume level is not same i.e. at TV around 20, but the speaker around 30 (despite u already turn to 0 for both)

I thought this is 4.1?

bsa12, I am in similar situation as you. I'm still using Aego 2.1, itchy wanna try surround sound... But FC don't like wire running around the living room, hence I'm looking for soundbar with wireless surround rear speaker too... I'm also looking at the XiaoMi soundbar if it is good.

BOTAK_WAI, soundbar quality so bad?

Just hook up my old 2.1 Bluetooth speaker. I think it is good enough for me now. Temporary not going to look any soundbar as good one still freaking expensive to me.

At least I am not using TV speaker already. tongue.gif

Wow, you watching 4K HDR content and dont need surround sound.
I think i have to hold my purchase too, due to price point for decent soundbar is too much and classical sound sound system is not approved by FC.
I am using my Aego 2.1 to headphone out of TV.

i am using a standard 2.1 sound system.
I have an issue with movie dialogue, for those multi channel MKV or Netflix, i could not hear the dialogue properly.

Thought of getting of 3.1 system or sound bar with 3.1 channel that is economical, so that dialogue would be clear and i do not need to crank up the volume which make dialogue audible but sound effect would blast .

I see that Sony Z9F, Philips TAPB603/98, Samsung Q70R, LG SL7Y, and i assume Yamaha soundbar should be able to emulate 3.1.
Any comment on these?
Thank you.
