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

How much ya?

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.

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

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.
