Yamaha YAS-101 review

 

Editors' note: The rating on this product has been lowered because of changes in the competitive marketplace. The review has not otherwise been modified.

Yamaha's first budget sound bar delivers solid sound quality for TV and movies. The Yamaha YAS-101 's built-in subwoofer will appeal to minimalists who don't want a separate sub, plus it has an innovative feature that passes through remote signals if...
