2.1 Desktop Speakers | Bluetooth - Under 20k

[Jonas]

I want to buy some decent desktop speakers with Bluetooth connectivity options.

Currently I have an ancient Philips 2.1 system, and one of the satellite speaker has stopped working. If it hadn't died, I would still be willing to use it.

Looking for something that won't take a lot of space, can be put on desktop or wall mounted. When I am at it, might as well consider something that will save me from the wire menace.

Budget? Under 20k.

Most of the time I am streaming chillstep:

I have decided to go for Samsung B67e as i really liked the sound signature. Vocals were very clear and i could differentiate between different frequencies of sound. Bas was just adequate to my liking. Samsung has better brand value compared to zebronics. I am not sure about zebronics after sales services and warranty coverage. Although my TV has e-arc port i still think dolby atmos in a mid range sound bar is sort of gimmick(it has virtual atmos). Samsung has dts-virtual X which i found quite effective when turned on. It can decode dolby digital plus signals as it as ARC port. Doesn't support 4k passthrough though(does have a hdmi in port).
@Jonas @SpeedxThunder i'd like to know how much difference does atmos decoding make in a mid range soundbar? honestly i don't care about atmos or dolby digital. sound stage and signature matters to me the most. My dad watches old movies, news and sports and i watch sitcoms or some web series which mostly involves dialogues. Sometimes we listen to songs on TV. I am hardly gonna consume atmos supported content(personal preference).

For music listening 2.1 system is the best. For consuming video content, 5.1 is obviously going to be more immersive. I’m listening to music most of the time hence went with YAS-209. Balanced sound, Alexa support is amazing. I keep shouting Alexa next song, all the time.

For the price point (under 30k), I would rather focus on getting good sound quality for music and decent 5.1 performance (Samsung B67). For a decent Atmos system, I would increase the budget to about 50k and consider Philips Audio TAB8967 and others.
