We have the SB250 model na napanalunan ng kapatid ko sa raffle. Tested it out for the first time yesterday and same din yung sentiment ko sa sound quality na medyo manipis nga ang tunog.

if not satisfied and plan to sell.. mukhang meron mga interested dito... including me.. hehe (basta good price)

Where can we get a local supplier for Vizio soundbars.. The Vizio SB3651-E6 looks great! The SB3621 is reviewed as the best budget soundbar for 2017. Bad trip lang coz its priced between 120-250 dollars sa AMAZON but because of shipping, i will have to add 200 dollars more!

Necessary ba ang hdmi input and output when buying a soundbar? Or optical will do. Plan to connect mi box sana. And if optical, do you connect the box it ditectly to the soundbar or use the tv optical output. Thanks.

Their most high end one would be the best. HW-K950 = around 45-50k i think.

The other one would be the The HW-Ms650, but haven't seen or heard of it here.

In my view not having an HDMI isnt a huge negative if your SB can only decode DD and DTS. Optical will do just fine either from streamer or from TV. If from TV just ensure that your TV can pass through DD/DTS on its optical out. Enjoy

Saw the MS-650 being sold for 22.5k on samsung's ph fb page. so that might be a good alternative for him. There are others in the market if he's willing to consider other brands.

polk magnifi max na bro

Crappinometer · « **Reply #401 on:** Jan 20, 2018 at 07:41 PM »

Problema lang sa Polk dito medyo malaki ang patong... Like yung Magnifi Mini matagal nang $230 (~Php 11.5k) sa US from original SRP of $300 (~php 15k). Tapos ang SRP ng local distributor is Php 23k (w/ small discount if you pay cash or smth). Matagal nakong tempted to buy kaso lang nakakapanghina isipin na sobra kang nag ooverpay. I get that they're official distributor naman and it costs money to import and shizz, pero parang malaki talaga ang patong ng Polk compared to, say, JBL/HK na may official local distributor rin pero hindi naman ganun kalaki ang patong.

ricky · « **Reply #402 on:** Jan 20, 2018 at 07:48 PM »

Sir nakaka hinayang talaga pag compute mo vs us (amazon price) pero once icompute mo actual cost ng importing, tax , insurance, warranty ang hassles you will end up with a diff of 20% lang.

I had a bad experience with bose sound bar before. Akala ko mapapamura ako sa usa purchase, tapos pina handcarry ko sa anak ko. Total landed price, less than 5000 pesos lang, nag away pa kami ng anak ko kasi marami sya hindi nabitbit pauwi na gamit nya tapos wala pa warranty yun item hahaha.

Sulit lang sa amerika pag libre item tapos shipping lang sagot mo hehe

ricky · « **Reply #403 on:** Jan 20, 2018 at 07:50 PM »

Magaan lang soundbars pero yun box size ang malaki. Lalo na magnify max sr, odd shape ng box.

Crappinometer · « **Reply #404 on:** Jan 20, 2018 at 07:59 PM »

Onga sir e yun talaga mahirap dito compared sa US. Mas mababa na nga ang relative cost doon, mag increase pa lalo yung actual cost dito dahil sa importation. Kaya usually when I canvass for stuff and there are different local distributors for various brands, I compare yung patong ng mga distributors. Kung yung iba 20% lang ang patong tapos yung iba 50-100% ang patong, iiwas ako dun sa taga mag price.

Hi, does anyone have an idea where I can find a decently priced Yamaha YAS 107 soundbar? I checked Lazada and it's ridiculously overpriced.

Hindi kaya sa acoustic foams mo Master

Joking aside Master I just need a very compact size SoundBar & the Mini fits perfectly for my needs. I just cant imagine how the MAX would sound as this dwarf size Mini sounds like a giant already.

Guys need your help. I'm trying to decide which of the 2 sound bar to get. I'm going to pair it with lg 55c7p OLED tv for our bedroom.

1. Polk Magnifi Max SR - 37k ish
1. LG SJ9 -29k ish

I'm leaning towards the Polk as I believe this has better SQ, more HDMI ports but it doesn't have Dolby Atmos and I don't see much of reviews for it. On the other hand, the SJ9 has Dolby Atmos, cheaper but saw some reviews that it doesn't perform that well. Any inputs guys?

If you really need atmos then go for it . Pero kung overall sound quality and that somewhat btand recognition then polk magnify max sr is the way to go.

gutierrez · « **Reply #414 on:** Feb 17, 2018 at 06:22 PM »

I don't think you'd feel the atmos vibe in a soundbar, go for the Polk, the rear speakers would make a difference.

JeromeA · « **Reply #415 on:** Feb 17, 2018 at 07:45 PM »

paano ba nag wowork ang atmos sa soundbar?? ramdam ba yun?? or kahit yung sinasabi nila virtual surround ramdam ba ang surround?

kasi before nag try ako mag set up sa yamaha then sinet ko as virtual sound malayong malayo compare sa surround sound na my rear speaker.

tama sabi ni sir gutierrez iba parin ang mga rear speakers sir, yan makatotohanan.

synchro_01 · « **Reply #416 on:** Feb 17, 2018 at 08:40 PM »

Even the most expensive soundbar cannot replicate a welcome wagon basic but properly set up 5.1 system can do. Its impressive on its own given the inherent limitations (single chassis, virtual surround etc) however if you are looking for the real deal surround experience then a soundbar isn't for you. If you do get one set your expectations correctly so you wont be disappointed.

at_sunset_blvd · « **Reply #417 on:** Feb 18, 2018 at 02:54 PM »

Ricky is right if you are after the ATMOS thing then you should go for the one w/ the ATMOS feature. The POLK MAX SR already has a lot of good feedbacks from our members here. As "gutierrez" said "I don't think you'd feel the atmos vibe in a soundbar" it's worth to try it first before getting one

i dont thinktit would matter even with a full atmos set up playing a non atmos movie. lalo na siguro kung soundbar lang yan it will be impossible to enjoy what a real atmos set up can do

you should audition sony's HT-ST5000 the atmos was so convincing enough but oh boy the price of that thing lol..
