Hey guys, I am planning to buy Sound bar below RM1000 for Mini Hall Condominium setup.
Will be using for music and movies. Cannot afford to get above RM1000 as my house very small only.

I narrow down the models below. Any reviews or any other suggestion to recommend?
Plan to buy around November as now rarely watch movies due to working stuffs.

1. Vinnfier Hyperbar 800 BTR
2. Creative Stage V2 ( Not available in Malaysia yet but concern about paying custom tax when ordering from website as ship from overseas )
3. Sony HT-S350
4. Sony HT-S20R

My bad. That is V1. But you can order from Creative US as the price is less than RM500, so no tax.

Will check it out.

EDIT: I cannot key in Malaysia Address from Creative US.
Either Sony or Vinnfier for now.
Will wait till November to buy.

Can't comment as I never had them. But very different purpose as the S2000 and S3000 are huge. If for home theater kind of setup, then by all means I think you should go ahead.

Thank you very much. No idea which one suit best.
2.0 or 2.1 system. Planning to use for movies mostly but sometimes music. More for movies than music.

Use on living hall or desktop?

S3000 got bigger bass driver (6.5" vs 5.5"), have more lower rumble and bass impact than S2000.
But if use on living hall and need the low rumble from movie, better get speaker with sub-woofer.

Planning to use in living room about 10ft x 10ft.
Using for movies the most. Need to find something to play with USB for music if available. Soundbar do have USB port but bookshelf perform better than soundbar. Will use for more movie usage.

My room use mini ones can already cause table too small to place bookshelf speakers.

If mostly for movie, especially action movie, get 5.1 or 7.1 speaker or whatever latest system now. Sub-woofer for the low rumble and center speaker for dialogue.
Want upping your game, get system with Dolby Atmos. Those that got speaker that makes sound as if coming from top.
2.0 or 2.1 sucks if your movie is 5.1 audio, especially action movie. If don't put loud enough, voice hard to hear. If put loud enough, action scene become too loud. Unless your player can adjust the mixing to apply higher gain for center audio.
If not action movie then 2.0 or 2.1 still ok.

Some newer soundbar got impressive number of speaker in it and can give enough distinction for sound in middle (dialogue) and side, plus back and top.

USB for music? As in USB drive with music files? Use bluetooth much easier. If the speaker support APTX HD or LDAC, can go for it to use bluetoooth. Pair it with your handphone or tablet.

Thank you for the detailed explanation.
Any budget 5.1 speakers to recommend? Possibly below RM2.5K?
5.1 got choices with soundbar. See if speakers got choice then I will go for speakers.

I wish to use Bluetooth for it but when phone battery dies then need to charge or must be near the speaker only can play.
Will see if got spare phone to use with Bluetooth.
Maybe I can consider MP3 player.

Will research more before buying during November sales.

5.1 speaker or soundbar is quite pricey. Not sure can get below 2.5k
Long time never check about home theater speaker so not sure what is the latest bang for buck speaker.
Can try ask at this thread link since they know more about home theater set.
