Yamaha Digital Sound Projector YSP-4000
The Yamaha Digital Sound Projector YSP-4000's addition of enhanced video-connectivity options cements Yamaha's already excellent projector technology as the go-to choice for single-speaker surround sound.
Yamaha Air Surround YAS-70 surround speaker system
The Yamaha YAS-70's included subwoofer and affordable price tag make it a tempting choice for virtual surround fans, but it lacks the impressive sonics of its pricier Digital Sound Projector siblings.
Yamaha's pint-size YST-FSW100 subwoofer is the ideal partner for its Digital Sound Projector virtual surround speakers.
The Yamaha YSP-4100 offers better surround effects, superior sound quality, and more features than competing sound bars, but it's expensive and most buyers won't need all its functionality.
Yamaha's receivers has consistently excellent sound quality over the years, so it's possible these new models will prove their worth with their sonics.
Yamaha's RX-V665BL includes more features than its predecessor, but it doesn't sound as good, has poor video upconversion quality, and doesn't let you assign digital-audio inputs.
The Yamaha YSP-5100 sound bar has an outstanding assortment of features and best-in-class virtual surround, but it's very expensive and doesn't sound much better than the step-down YSP-4100.
Yamaha's RX-V667 is one of the best midrange AV receivers of 2010, with excellent sound quality, a best-in-class user interface, and more connectivity than its competitors, but it may be more AV receiver than you need.
Yamaha MCX-SP10 MusicCast speakers
The MCX-SP10 speakers are a worthwhile add-on to Yamaha's MCX-A10 wireless digital media receiver for those who value aesthetics over sound quality.
If you don't need the HDMI connections found on the step-up model, the Yamaha YSP-900 single-speaker surround system delivers exactly the same overall sound quality for less money.
Yamaha YSP-800 Digital Sound Projector (silver) Review
The good: Self-powered single-speaker virtual surround system; 2 4-inch woofers paired with 21 1.5-inch microdrivers; built-in Dolby/DTS surround processing and digital power amplifiers eliminate the need for an A/V receiver; autosetup capability.
The bad: Works best in barely furnished, symmetrically arranged rooms; needs to be paired with a subwoofer for optimal sound quality.
The bottom line: Yamaha's second-generation single-speaker YSP-800 Digital Sound Projector is more affordable and easier to set up, and it sounds better than last year's model.
