Frankly I think your best option is to wait until Takashimaya 10% member sale and get your Arc and Sub there. That would be probably be the cheapest they would get for now, at least until the next generation.

I checked out the prices regularly coz last time I was on lookout for the Sub, but the prices never went below 10% of the RRP.

Consensus seems to be Arc. Samsung might be as good also because they are basically Harman Kardon now. There's also Dali Katch One but I do think it's kind of pointless.

If you are willing to spend on Arc you can consider also Kef LS50 + subwoofer of your choice. Or you can also go down the rabbit hole and consider a receiver/amp + floorstanders/standmount speakers. Receiver + speakers will give better sound at lower price if you don't mind the cables.

ya, i agree sonos arc discount is hard to come by....i have to use shop vouchers, credit card voucher, stacked with lazada/shopee vouchers to get >10% off retail price... need a bit of effort....

I am currently pairing edifier r1280db with my samsung ua40j6000 from 2015/16. Would changing to creative stage v2 or samsung q600a be an upgrade? My gripe with the edifier is i can only connect it to tv via optical when my tv have hdmi arc.

Any good soundbars that dont require subs? Want a simple setup but dont want to lose out bass either

So far only saw Dht s216 which has its own downfiring subs (small ones)
