    Hoe come no one is mentioning the extra 5% off with code/coupon. Are all these items excluded?

      I would buy the Sony HTCT390 with 300W total output power for $60 more than the Sony HTCT180 with just 100W. You get HDMI feedback as well as Optical.

        • nayfon on 20/07/2016 - 13:51

          Nope. Soundbars are great for improving the sound from your television. I was gonna go down the same route by found a great deal on an Onkyo 5.1 HT setup.

        • nebula9 on 20/07/2016 - 13:55

          @nayfon: Hey what was the Onkyo you found? Wasn't sure if they were any good, and trying to find a nice 5.1 or 5.1.2 setup under 1k

        • nayfon on 20/07/2016 - 14:05

          @nelga: Found it at a JB Hifi store in Sydney. Basic 5.1 receiver (SR313), but the bundled speakers were the main driver for the purchase (SKF-4800 / SKS-4800). Something like this: http://www.avaustralia.com.au/onkyo-4800-5-1-speaker-pack/

          Total cost including decent speaker cables (can't remember the gauge) was under $700.

        I got the HTCT380, I'm assuming its the old model for the 390, anyway its great, I'm not an audiophile or anything but it's perfect for my mid sized living room, good bass, and has speaking mode for those annoying movies where the speaking is too soft.

  • Piter71 on 20/07/2016 - 12:23

    I am using HTXT100 with (high class) laptop and projector to watch movies and play games in about 20m2 room. The sound is clean, the base is deep and nice, loudness is good enough (not super loud but I wouldn't use greater volume anyway, cinema-like loudness in these conditions is achievable). Also works nice as a BT speaker using smartphone. Seriously considering another one to another room. Would recommend to a friend (actually did ;)). Probably not yet a proper home cinema system but soo much better than any other 'computer speakers' I have. And this is the cheapest one here…

    Sony soundbars are great. I was going to get a Bose 130 but these are very tempting.

    edit: I'd get the Sonos if it weren't as ugly as hell

  • lionelhutz on 20/07/2016 - 13:42

    Bought my parents a refurb HTCT180 from the Sony Seconds store during the last eBay 20% off… decent basic soundbar but I was shocked to find you can't control the volume with the remote for the Sony TV KDL50W800C I bought at the same time. You expect that to be one of the main benefits of using the same brand for TV and soundbar.

    • blehgg on 20/07/2016 - 14:38

      Did you set it up HDMI ARC?

      • lionelhutz on 20/07/2016 - 16:11

        Doesn't have HDMI in, just digital audio, analog audio and bluetooth. But you would think they would just make the remote signals compatible.

  • Plasma on 20/07/2016 - 13:44

    Sony HTNT5 vs Philips Fidelio B5? I can get the Philips for around $50 more..

    • [Deactivated] on 20/07/2016 - 13:48

      B5 has good reviews for sound quality. Personally I dislike the Philips brand.

      HYNT5 is new and a little unknown. Worth the risk though, everything indicates it should be an excellent unit.

      • Plasma on 20/07/2016 - 15:20

        I ended up purchasing the Sony. They had an ex-demo Philips HTL9100 (the model prior to the B5) for $550, but the Sony was more feature-rich and I believe has Dolby TrueHD and Dolby DTS-HD decoding unlike the Philips.

    hey all, any reason the soundbars are talked about so highly, but no-ones mentioned the 5.1 ht-rt3 system. is that not a better buy at the same price as a decent soundbar? am i missing something?

    • joshmachine on 20/07/2016 - 14:42

      It has bad reviews on the net about a loud fan in the woofer. also it is wired.

  • grizz_li on 20/07/2016 - 14:32

    Great buy.
    Was looking at a sound bar when I got my new Sony TV a couple years ago then forgot about it till every time I watch a movie and the voice was often too soft to hear anything without cranking up the volume to annoy everyone.
    Just purchased the HT-CT390. (Really couldn't care less about 5.1)

  • padman on 20/07/2016 - 14:59

    Which is better - HTXT100 or HTCT390?
    How about HTRT3 vs HTCT390?

  • choister on 20/07/2016 - 15:00

    Guys I'm tossing up between htct390 and newish second hand jbl sb 400. The sb 400 is about $80 extra. Any thoughts??

  • dlakers3peat on 20/07/2016 - 15:01

    i have the Sony HTXT100 which i paid $169 delivered back in December from the sony store and I have nothing but good things to say about it. easy to use, great sound, bluetooth and I use it with my samsung series 7 65 in tv. could not be happier.

    • Macaron Mama on 20/07/2016 - 15:12

      I was about to buy this from JB but the guy said that for my
      Open plan living room and the fact I have a 50 inch TV it's best I don't get it as the sound plate type of sound bar is more for small TVs and if I pair it with a big TV there's barely any difference in sound quality. Hearing u say that you're happy with its sound with a 65inch TV makes me feel like I got duped -_-' . Ended up getting the HTCT390

        Yeah that sounds like a massive load of crap.
        ANY sound bar would be better sound than the speakers on 90% of the TV's out there and the size of the TV certainly has zero relevance to the quality of it's speakers.

  • auna on 20/07/2016 - 15:54

    The ones including 2.2 copy protection are probably great. Very happy with my now older model that has it. Connected to my 4k monitor.

    • z00m on 20/07/2016 - 21:44

      What are the benefits of having the soundbar with 4K connections? I have a 4k TV with 2.2 and bought the 390, should I have bought the htnt5?

  • ROTUS on 20/07/2016 - 16:03

    What is the best value soundbar/home theatre here. Roughly a 20-25 sqm room, would the htc 390 or RT3 be better for surround sound and just general tv viewing. Both cost the same, however the Rt3 is 5.1 as opposed to 390 being 2.1? Which would be better for general live tv viewing (sports, news, tv shows etc.) and which would be better for movies (not used very often for this)

    • chew_chew on 20/07/2016 - 16:10

      im also in the market for a sound bar.
      did a quick search and a few ppl complained about the really loud subwoofer fan on the rt3.

      think i might pick up the 390 tonight
      i also get 7.5% off gc through work, which brings it down to 277 :)

    Thanks OP, just grabbed the HTXT100. Will go nicely with my new Sony Bravia 55" KD55X8000C 4K Ultra HD LED TV. I have heard of voice sync issues in certain situations, hope it's not the case for me.

  • Zeral on 20/07/2016 - 19:09

    It's probably too late posting this but the jbl charge 2+ is better value and sounds excellent/loud without taking up 2 ac outlets.

    This small speaker is BETTER than my $300 Panasonic soundbar and on par with my Sony Htct780 I got from last year's Xmas sale for $330

    What makes jbl better is cause of its form factor, 12 hour battery, $120,has usb slot to charge your phone if tv lacks one and you can just use an audio cable to connect it to ANY tv that don't have optical/hdmi.

    I'm just really impressed with this little speaker that can fill an entire room without breaking a sweat, soundbars are ok but my Panasonic sound bar is either never on or the bass is switched off. The wireless freedom and small form factor is great for every day use for both inside and outside the house.

      Just wondering how's the htnt5?

      Not an audiophile.. got the 390 last night but was a bit disappointed with the sound. Bass is decent but treble is worse than my inbuilt..

      • Plasma on 21/07/2016 - 12:09
        +4

        It's very very good. Sussing the best soundbar under $1000, it is probably the pick of the bunch, better than the Philips Fidelio B5 (highly rated and great in its own right) and the Bose Cinemate 15 - which I previously owned. It's very feature rich and the 3 HDMI inputs support HDCP 2.2. Could not justify the Sonos + sub at nearly 4 times the cost. In saying that, i wouldn't pay a thousand for it, but $599 was a steal.

          Cheers, thanks for that!

          The 390 was ok but my lg tv has Harman kardon speakers built in, so wasn't too happy with the $300 non-upgrade..

          Might try to return it today and see if they can do the nt5 for $599 :p

          How's the subwoofer on the nt5 btw? I read a review on the nt5 with very good mid and high, but Bass was somewhat lacking. Thoughts?

          Thanks in advance!!

          @chew_chew: All good. The bass is indeed lacking a bit, mine is set at near maximum and I find it to be sufficient. However, if you like deep bass you may be a bit disappointed. I'd see if they can honour yesterday's price, they still have a day or two grace period with their supplier rebates (used to work their).

          @chew_chew:
          Great negotiating ang good tip from @Plasma.

          Was wondering why everyone seemed to have gone for the 390. I also thought the nt5 was the pick of the bunch. the 390 seemed to distort on the demo tape (piano of all things) when volume was about 75% - a test you'd just never do at home.

      • deadpoet on 21/07/2016 - 13:18

        Thanks for your feedback, I'd been wondering about the 390 — I had some doubts about the very thin design.
