Solved! Hifi Vs Soundbar for Music

[manpro76]

Which set up is considered better in terms of music quality (mostly through CDs playback); a soundbar (around 250$) along with Sony's UBPX700 4k player or a mini hifi system, like PANASONIC SC-UX100E-K or LG CM2760?

Music from soundbar is ok, if the soundbar is good, like on Nubert Nupro AS-250 or Samsung HW-N950.

Sony XT-HT1 or the brothers is also still ok.
It is not the best but it will do, if cost and space are really your unavoidable limitation.

Honestly start with the best receiver you can, cheaper speakers if you need to.
You can hook up whatever you need to to the receiver and live with the muddy or tinny sound until you can find a pair of decent speakers, to Bi-Amp and rock a good set of speakers, with room to expand into home theater if you want.

Remember the lower the THD the better, 10 watts of .0007% THD sounds lightyears better than 50 watts of 1.0% of THD.

Also remember to match the ohm's or plan out when you Bi-Amp.

By all means look for used equipment and upgrade when you can afford it.

As mentioned several posts above, looking for second handed items in eBay or flea market is also not bad.
I am still opening my eyes widely on every flea market for good audio Equipments like amplifiers, speakers, etc.
You will be surprised once in a while of what you found.
Older stuffs like those audio receiver+amplifiers e.g. from Technics are quite dirt cheap and they sound really good.
If you are lucky you can find them with really good conditions.
