Looking at this one. Looks good.

Yup beam is the cheaper alternative, unless you really want the full capabilities then go for Sonos Arc + woofer.

only if its crap brand. Yamaha uses many many individual drivers. for me only Yamaha for the win. my YSP-2200 has been serving me for 12years.

So many speakers on such a confined space, must tuned until headache one. Yeah. Yamaha won't go wrong one. 💪

For headphones that I don't use regularly, I will apply some oil or moisturizer on the leather/PVC parts.

Creative Stage V2 now selling at $129 if u wan a budget set.  Need to consider if the wired sub will be messy in your environment.

Hmm, looks good.

My old Acoustic Energy 2.1 (AE) is still working for my PC and this looks like a good alternative (if AE conks out).

My brother recommended this https://trysonos.sg/products/sonos-beam-gen2

Beam can do spotify w/o turning on the TV. 

This Gen 2 is at least $100 more expensive than previous version. If you don't need Dolby Atmos, can get the earlier version.

No la. If I'm getting a SONOS then I won't be getting it now. Out of my budget. Maybe I'll get a budget Xiaomi soundbar for the living room then I'll change my room one in time to come. Or one of those JBL ones which I can use my Taka vouchers to purchase.

He sponsored the TV in my living room, well 50%. If I ask him to sponsor soundbar I think I'll die.

I've never heard a SONOS in person. Do they have a physical store here? I googled and retail shops like Courts, Harvey Norman selling it? Maybe it'll be a good idea to head down and test it out then buy online lol.

@BabyBlade can consider this:

 

Don't know if this model has ARC (I am assuming her TV has ARC). A couple of years ago when I was checking out soundbars, the Bose model then did not have that function.

They do have but not in every store. The bad thing is it is difficult to compare the 2 to 3 brands you have narrowed down to in the same shop. I cavaet that Beam does not give you the best sound. Its advantages are seamless pairing (with other SONOS pdts), simple set up and a relatively small footprint.

Yes, Bose soundbar are HDMI ARC.

If got budget, can go for 300/700 series,  better features with built-in Spotify and Tune-in, can play directly from mobile App.

 

The latest is Series 900, is Atmos compatible.

Can go HN or Challenger @ Bugis Junction. They do have demo for both Sonos and Bose. Go compare it for your self. Some may have JBL too.
