  3. Hi Spikey, Just to add on about soundbars. There are 2 main types of soundbars - active and passive versions. Active versions are those sold by LG / Philips / Samsung / Yamaha which are all-in-one systems, meaning it consists of speakers and the AVR in one setup together. These kind of systems are not advisable as the speakers are not the best quality, neither is the amp. In order to get surround, the speakers rely on sound processing or using walls to bounce sound to the back in order to get the surround portion. However, this is not real surround and you need to have an ideal room (i.e. walls on both sides of your room to bounce the sound to the back). In Singapore, room shapes are typically less than ideal so it's very hard to get good surround from such systems. Lastly, you cannot upgrade any part of the system when new technology arrives. So these kind of active soundbars are not recommended for audiophiles. The lesser known type of soundbars are actually passive soundbars. These are manufactured by the more well-known speaker manufacturers like Definitive Technology, Polk Audio, B&W, Atlantic Technology just to name a few. These are basically a soundbar which consists of multiple channels in one single unit. Some are LCR in one unit, while others are 5 or even 7 channels in one single unit. These speakers need to be powered by an amp or AVR, and driver size are much bigger than those found in the active versions, so sound quality is way better than the active soundbars. The really good ones are considered audiophile quality. The good thing is that when new technology arrives, you can just upgrade the AVR or amp and the sound will be even further improved. A sub will also help to improve the low frequencies alot. If WAF is a must, I recommend passive soundbars coupled with a good AVR or amp. They do not take up as much space as floorstanders or bookshelves but yet will sound much better than any active soundbar from Yamaha / LG etc. My recommendation is to get a 3 channel Left-Center-Right passive soundbar coupled with a pair of Mirage Nanosats (these are really small and can be wall mounted) for surrounds. In Singapore where many pple stay in HDB flats, the Mirage Nanosats are highly ideal for surround duties. Couple that with a good AVR or amp and you will be in audio nirvana, plus your wife won't make noise that your speakers are taking up too much space. Some passive soundbars to consider are as follows: - Defech SSA-50 (best sound quality but very big in size, low WAF) - Polk Audio Surroundbar (very good sound quality, slightly smaller in size than the SSA-50 but still relatively big) - Mirage Uni-theater (very stylish, very good sound quality, relatively small, very high WAF) - B&W Panorama (very stylish, good sound quality but VERY expensive) They are a few others out there but these are the more highly rated ones. I have had quite abit of experience with passive soundbars so feel free to ask me questions. If you are interested in getting a passive soundbar instead, do drop me an email at vjcs20@gmail.com as I may have what you are looking for. Hope this helps.
