Hi All,

Im looking to buy a decent soundbar. Ideally I would've wanted the Samsung HW N950, but is's quite pricey and probably overkill for my needs.

I had a look at the JBL 5.1, but I dont like the fact that you unplug the rear speakers only when you need it. And then I had a look at the Polk Manifi SR, but the reviews seems to be average.

Im considering the Yamaha YAS 207, due to the good reviews, but it doesnt come with rear speakers.

Requirements:

- Ideally surround sound with rear speakers
- Bluetooth (smart functions would be nice too)
- With a sub
- Length of the soundbar to be less than 140cm and height under 150cm.
- Ideally under 10k
- Will be used for daily use and the ocassional movie. I just need something that sounds decent. I currently use a samsung HT5500k home theatre system, but the centre speaker is pretty crappy.

Anything recommendations?
