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 YSP-3000 Digital Sound Projector
If you can look past its limited video capabilities, the Yamaha YSP-3000 is an otherwise recommendable single-speaker solution for home theater buyers who don't want a traditional 5.1 channel surround system.
Sony HT-CT500 Sound Bar Home Theater System
Sony's single-speaker surround-sound home theater system is sleek, relatively inexpensive, and actually sounds pretty good.
The single-speaker Zvox 425 TV speaker system delivers excellent overall sound on movies and music and pumps out ample bass from its built-in twin subwoofers--but at this price, we'd like to see more inputs and some digital connections as well.
Panasonic SC PT650 home theater system
Panasonic's budget-priced SC-PT650 home theater system sounds good for the money and delivers a decent roster of features--but the step-up model is an even better deal.
The Yamaha NX-A01 surround-sound system won us over with its minimal design and sound quality, but don't expect it to blow the roof off.
The Yamaha RX-V663 sounds great, but it's tough to recommend with its paltry HDMI connectivity, poor upconversion quality, and other design quirks.
Definitive Technology Mythos SSA-50
The Mythos SSA50 from Definitive Technology is a single-speaker surround-sound system that uses nine drivers to create a faux-surround sound effect--making it sound as if there are rear speakers where there are none.
Sharp's SD-SP10 budget-priced virtual-surround speaker/subwoofer combo is sonically competitive with far more expensive single-speaker systems.
Despite the tiny size of its speakers and subwoofer, the Mirage MX 5.1 surround sound system delivers excellent sound quality.
Yamaha YSP-900 Review
The good: Yamaha's single-speaker surround system features 21 1.5-inch "beam" drivers; two 4-inch woofers; built-in digital amplifiers, proprietary surround processing; auto setup with the supplied microphone.
The bad: Minimalist connectivity; nowhere near the dynamic oomph of an equivalently priced 5.1 channel HTIB system; lacks finesse on two channel music; you'll probably have to add a subwoofer.
The bottom line: 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.
