Any sifu can recommend me soundbar with subwoofer
Budget around 1.5-2k

Sony > all

Except for the sifu above, I guess the rest of the sifus are all busy out celebrating 2023 year end.

samsung q600c or 700c

ya finding one after bonus next year too.. parking..

same budget

aming for bose600, sony at3000 or one more lg soundbar forgot the brand

JBL

but your budget can get sony one . not sure about the quality.

any reco for those bar with built in woofer? wanna reduce space consumption

sonos beam gen 2

will look into it.. thank u 🙏

all soundbar sounds the same.

its rubbish

Go Harvey norman and do a sound test on those within your budget. At least can hear it for yourself. That's what I did.

the yamaha one. i fogot its model. yas208 i think
but within that price range.

i think it sounded better than sonos beam. and have subwoofer also.

but go for beam if you want atmos.

No need soundbar. Get Sonos Era 300 x 2 with Atmos Surround sound. Load Topgun Maverick beginning part at carrier deck and you will know.
Course top up sikit from budget.

Edit. No need Sonos Beam Gen 2 to compliment Era 300 as pairing the Beam will disable forward speaker on the Era 300.

how do you connect your TV to your era x 2 ?

RM5.5k!!!

earphone, yes

soundbar? meh

Why not straight get 5.1 channel? If I have your budget I'll get Sony https://shope.ee/4fWlCXwmuv

If got budget for good tv, good amp, good speakers. U probably dont have time to sit in front TV. lel

Can try sony G700 and sony HT-X8500. Both not bad to my ears and within your budget. Then I go try sonos 5K speakers. Terus feel the sony no good liao

Sonos Concept Store by TC Acoustic
UG05, Upper Ground Floor, The Starhill, 181, Jln Bukit Bintang, Bukit Bintang, 55100 Kuala Lumpur, Wilayah Persekutuan Kuala Lumpur

Simple this. Download Sonos App. Pair both unit Era 300 first.
then pair via bluetooth from TV to First Unit.
When using the ERA 300, input TV output sound as Bluetooth.

You can get cheaper Sonos Beam Gen 2 (latest ver) cheaper in Japan. Before tax rebate. Warranty wise hehe.

https://www.biccamera.com.e.lj.hp.transer.c...c/item/9977807/ @JPY 64,800 / MYR 2111.

Lazada MY Official Sonos selling MYR2990 RRP. Sometimes get discount like 100-150 off MAX.

But sonos says otherwise as i remember you need connect to tv with arc or earc for spatial audio. Does it show dolby atmos on your apps when watching the content?

How can I experience spatial audio on Era 300?

To experience music in spatial audio, you’ll need to be connected to WiFi and streaming Dolby Atmos Music from a supported service. Refer to https://support.sonos.com/article/listen-to...-music-on-sonos for more information.

To experience films, shows, and games in spatial audio, you’ll need to have two Era 300 speakers paired with either Arc or Beam (Gen 2), including a supported TV, HDMI eARC connection, and Dolby Atmos content. Learn more at https://support.sonos.com/article/listen-to...-atmos-on-sonos.

I dont have much info on this. I setup (paired) both Era as Surround Sound in the Sonos App. I get the Atmos sound when playing movies, the best is The Last Voyage of the Demeter near ending part. You can practically hear/feel the rain all over.
Paired to soundbar will disable both ERA 300 forward speaker.

Top up get dedicated stereo

Collect via BT got any sound delay tak?

I dont encountered yet. However, per below since i dont connect via Soundbar.

Any Sonos speakers will be delayed when grouped to a Sonos soundbar. The reason is because the soundbar needs to play almost immediately to keep in sync with the TV. Sonos had to develop a low latency, one way, direct 5GHz connection between the sounbar and the surrounds/Sub to keep those all in sync. This connection is low latency, but not robust, and it doesn't do well through walls or floors. Which is fine, because a soundbar, surrounds and sub are all in the same room.

Grouped speakers, on the other hand, can be placed anywhere Iin the home. Therefore, they need a larger buffer, and the more robust 2,4 GHz signal. This is why speakers grouped with a soundbar have an echo. They lag behind due to the buildup of the buffer. With music, i there's no need to sync with the video, so all units in the group are buffered.

The MY Sonos Beam 2 was going for RM23xx during the last 12-12 sale.

U should go see doctor to check ur hearing. Kek

Klipsch Cinema 400 Sound Bar 2.1 System : RM 2,199.00

Klipsch

boleh guna homepod atau homepod mini....boleh buat surrounding dan dolby atmos....bagus sanggat

Subs should be separate or else it's useless and not going to produce the really low freq.

hearing just fine.

i prefer actual stereo .

those who only buy sony says sony good..

those who only buy X brand says X brand good..

above are the types of reply i usually ignore....



I wonder how many of you actually used or have experience with all the brands or work as audio salesperson before ???
If yes then your opinion matters.

yesterday went and tested it on Harvey Norman.

Sonos really >> all which available brand in there (Sony/LG/Yamaha/Samsung)

Already have the contact of the sales person, will inform me again when got promotion like 12.12. Sonos beam gen 2 discount up to 1k man during 12.12-12.26 which I missed it just few days

Sony Soundbar 7.2.2 dolby atmos also one of the best also the price Hnggh!

get this
no ragrest

watching movies in Stereo mode?

Yeah, you got me.

My movie watching experience isn't that great since all my 5.1 or 7.1 files falls back to 2.0.

I mostly listen to music. And my living room is too tiny, only 3.5m.

this one over budget

go invest a good 3.1 sound system and pair with decent budget AVR, centre speaker is important for movies.

Which model and price you chose ya? I have similar budget as well

Senheiser Ambeo?

If you are into bass, use this song Way Down Deep by Jennifer Warnes.

Beam gen 2 oh, 2999
last month promo -1k....

so gonna wait for a while until new promo again

I tested the Samsung Q600C. Not bad for that price range.

Wa...even after promo also need 2k =X

How much ya?

RM1527 from Harvey Norman.
You can check the pricing from their website.

I was checking out the Sony HT-X8500, Samsung Q600C and one more model from Yamaha but can't remember the exact name...need to test it out.

I was also comparing the Sony HT-X8500 and the Samsung B550 (HN no more stock).
The Sony HT-X8500 without the sub-woofer lose out on the bass.
Go and test with the song Way Down Deep. You can hear the big difference.

Sony S500F and itu Samsung Q600 not bad actually, for normal usage la.

But I really advise you go listen first, see which one you find it liking. Especially for bass, some find it not nice to hear and etc.

And ya, after discount is 2k for Sonos beam gen 2. But for now only discount RM99
The sales person also explained that Sonos didn't have any after sales service here ya. so incase any issue, will be 1-1 exchange (come with 2 years warranty)

if wan extend also can I remember few hundred for 2 or 3 years. So still is over 2k+ if want to extend the warranty, unless you can find outsource which can help repair it.

can take loan

https://my.tcacoustic.asia/products/klipsch...a-400-sound-bar

Dont feel like spending 2k for sound bar...if can wan 1k to 1.5k XD

You can also test out the Yamaha SRC30A. HN price is RM999.

So many promote Sonos here although its crappy for its price. Maybe coz you guys are comparing them to even crappier soundbars?

Best use of your budget will be to get some active stereo speakers which will sound better than those soundbars claiming atmos, dts-x , etc.

Some examples for different budgets:

FiiO SP3 around RM1,300
Hivi Swans D300 around RM1,888
Triangle Borea Active BR02 BT around RM3,000

If can afford it go for the Triangles.

It's only for people who want to save space

I'm using Q700c, bought mine for 1.5k.

If I were to choose again though, will definitely go for Q930c instead as it's only around 2.4k-2.6k including rear speaker whereas Q700c 1.5k+600(rear speaker).

Out of my budget tho

You can definitely go for Q700c first 1.5k and add in the rear speaker some other time but are you gonna pair it to a Samsung tv? If not, I believed other brand like LG should be better.

LG tv

dont get sonos if you are easily being tempted

i thought i am done with beam 2 alone but mana tau slowly added 2 surround speakers and 1 sub mini along the way lol. beam and sub mini already 2k each

TS go get Sonos Beam 2, then later can upgrade 2 Ikea Symfonisk speaker to become rear surround, become truly 5.0.2

After that got money, buy the Sonos Sub Mini, then you got the real 5.1.2 atmos experience.

I have the same budget as you for soundbar

My choices were

sonos beam 2 - 2400
Bose 600 - 2300
Bose 900 - 3300
Jbl 9.1 - 2800
A5000 - 2800

All were prices during event days .

But after comparing , i realized the soundbar is not complete without at least the sub woofer and also rear speakers .

Then after much survey , i purchased q990c from samsung with rear and sub for 3400 .

Best purchase ever, it is consider cheaper than all above ( except jbl ) if you have to add on sub and rear speaker later . Sony sub alone is 1k - 2k .

And i tell you what , if i off my rear and sub with my q990c , the soundbar alone is really not worth mentioning . So sub and rear is a must .

Just go with q990c .

In that case, you should go and try different brand of soundbar and see which suits you better, don't tied yourself with Samsung only as can't get the Q-symphony to work.

or perhaps you would like to buy my q700c? Bought less than a month.

This is why I regret getting the Q700c and not going for Q930c.

Why didn't you come here earlier with that offer?
I could have offload it from you.

Bro, Sonos having roadshow at One U, front of Toys R Us. Both Sonos Era 300 setup on demo. Just sharing only.

SONOS

TS let us know your findings and what you decided with.

Ah, what a joy to the ears. thanks buddy!

old passive speaker + amp = hnghhh

sonos or bose, which one better soundbar?

yamaha yas 209 for medium space

aura studio 4 saja la. go test and u will get eargasm.

Homepod + homepod mini x2

I am using samsung q800b but feel like when watching movie the action seen so damn loud but the talking/dialog scene so soft.

And when watching normal astro or tv1, tv2, tv3 somehow i still prefer stereo sound coming from the speakers. Feels more natural

This post has been edited by Boy96: Jan 5 2024, 01:57 AM

how much ser

huh? Harvey norman only 2700 for era 300 wor, 3699 is for a pair or 1 unit only?

At first I targeted JBL 9.1, but after listen and comparing with JBL Bar 1000 with JBL ONE apps, I str8 away purchased with no regrets.

一分钱一分货 （You get what you pay)

SONOS ARC with SUB & ERA 300 are really good if you have plenty of CASH.
