kurby Posted November 4, 2007 Posted November 4, 2007 Am keen to explore the Philips soundbar and Yamaha YSP1100 etc... Anyone here using the above or something similar. I am not looking at 5.1 systems cause TV is in living room with open space so hard to run the wires around. How does the above compare with Denon S301? Where can I audition the above and does anyone know the price of each?
imbest Posted November 4, 2007 Posted November 4, 2007 the more "open" you have, the harder you can get the virtual 5.1 surround. I noticed philips said it doesn't rely on walls to bounce the rear channels, not sure how true is it, haven't got a chance to listen to it properly. Maybe you can consider wireless rear channel receivers......
kurby Posted November 4, 2007 Author Posted November 4, 2007 wireless also need wire for the power source yah?? I want something simple to boost the sound a bit so dun need full 5.1 system... yah I also read that the soundbar dun need walls to bounce of the sound...which is what I like cause my living room is quite open how about Denon S301?
imbest Posted November 4, 2007 Posted November 4, 2007 that wire for the wireless is just at the back mah, thought it would be hidden behind the sofa and become invisible liao? Denon if i'm not wrong, is the same way as Yamaha's design. Same as Sony. I haven't got a chance to try out Philips(it's always being placed in a pasar malam position), Denon is way too expensive for me to even think about hehe.... i think Philips called it the "Ambisound". which is not using bounced wave.
kurby Posted November 4, 2007 Author Posted November 4, 2007 Well you will be surprise where little children can go in the house, they can squeeze into every possible area they can find, and I dun want them to trip over some wires...getting a bump on their head is fine but if they managed to pull my speaker down from the ceiling then sian leow hahahahaa..... So u interested in the Soundbar as well?? Let me know the sound effect if you managed to test it....in the mean time I wil go scouting around as well....
