- I currently have a Yamaha YSP-1000 and recently sold a Yamaha YSP-3000 and just purchased the Yamaha YHT-S401BL Blows them all away. After setting it up I was really impressed with the sound that comes from this little sound bar. I did consider a Bose Cinemate GS II but glad I went for the Yamaha. Voices are very clear, surround works and sounds great and good base and all can be tailored to your favorite listening. All connections are done via HDMI on the back of the Sub/receiver combo which eliminates all the cables attaching to the tv and hanging down from the tv which looks horrible. I would highly recommend the Yamaha YHT-S401BL
- I am running this bar speaker system without the four rear sattelite speakers required for 7.1 surround...so this is a quick review on just as is...what comes in the box. I really thought this set for the price...came with at least two rear speakers! I was wrong and thats my fault...although I have tweaked the receiver/subwoofer to every possible configuration...it does not sound as awesome as I would have expected for a $600.00 3 speaker system. Some may think that this is an unfair review since I am not utilizing the 5.1 or 7.1...but I say its unfair to pay for a surround-sound system that doesn't provide what is needed and ultimatley...incomplete! So for any of you who do not intened to go…
