I’m in the market for a budget sound system ranging 30,000ksh-40,000ksh willing to go the home theater way preferably 1000watts, Dolby Atmos, proper surround sound I think sound bars are over rated.
Which is the best device elders can recommend and in which store can I buy one. @Dr. Kerre(PhD) kindly keep off this thread.
Dolby Atmos for standalones at a Budget of 40K?!
For reference am using Minx Min 12 for Overheads and the buggers cost me like 20K. Hapo hujaweka receiver and speakers.
Remember for atmos to work you require 5.1.2 i.e
5 Speakers: 2 Front Speakers, 1 Center Speaker, 2 Satellite Speakers.
1 Subwoofer
2 Overhead Speakers
I’ll be honest I’m daft in matters of sound can’t really describe myself as an audiophile had to google minx min 12.
But I’m familiar with the receiver and library speaker route that’s rather expensive which I’d be willing to invest in the longrun. All I’m in the market for is a mid range sound system.
No Biggie. At 40K I honestly don’t see how you can get atmos. You need kitu north of 100K.
Nonetheless at that price range you can get Sony Home theatre which is generally decent enough for most people…
Nunua sony Home theatre na utulie hizi vitu zingine za receiver 5.1 6 ohms speakers wachana nazo unless you are a sound engineer.
Between a Hi-fi https://plugpoint.co.ke/product/sony-m40d-high-power-audio-system-with-dvd/
Home theatre

Sound bar

Which one really makes the cut audiophiles opinions will be well appreciated.
uko na movies ziko na atmos?
not all movies ziko na atmos tracks. zile tunanunuanga 30bob ni 2 channel AAC
nunua tu home theater ya LG ama sony
Umeambia tulia na home theater ama sound bar. Wacha mambo mingi. Kwani unataka kusumbua jirani na sound….
I can always Torrent and stream movies I don’t buy movies.
LG or Sony it is.
As you can see my enquiry lies between different opinions on either Hi-fi , Home theater or Sound Bar?
And which one to go for based on the said price range?
Shop recommendations and location from elders will be appreciated.
Loll. Are you implying wenye tuko na 5.1.2 Systems ni wasumbufu?!
Depends on how most people play with the volume. Good sound is good, but volume/bass ikiwa juu nooo.
Anataka quality, sio Bora sauti sauti Bora
sasa unanipata.
Hii ni budget ya headphones
At that budget usiumwe na kichwa just get a HTIB, the normal sony DZ series will just do fine. Hizi ziko kila mahali you don’t need recommendation hapa.
I bought a sony dav dz350 in 2020 @25k, a fine sound system for music and movies, I would recommend
lakini sahii nashangaa imefika 30-40k pale jiji?!
https://jiji.co.ke/search?query=sony dav dz350
At your budget range you can get the dz650 with tallboy speakers but there is no difference in output with the dz350
Kuna emulated Atmos with just a subwoofer and a soundbar but ni gimmick tu.
At that budget, get a refurb Vizio from Amazon via your favourite Eastleigh freight forwarder.
I will recommend Sony sound ar HT-S500RF with DTS. Ot goes for about 40k and has decent audio for music and movies.
