Yamaha YSP-900 review

 

Surround sound all from one box

Simple to set up ; Impressive surround sound

Can lack bass on its own

Sophisticated processing trickery coaxes a gloriously effective surround performance from a single unit

Yamaha YSP-900 review

 

Does what it promises - surround sound from one box

Effective surround performance in smaller rooms ; value

Can struggle to fill larger spaces ; occasionally a little ‘cuppy’ with dialogue

Extraordinary, in that it actually delivers on its promise, and is tonally more complete than its forebears

Yamaha YSP-1100 review

 

A seriously impressive new model performs better in bigger spaces than others

Bigger and more lusty than its sibling ; able to fill larger rooms with sound ; credible surround performance ; tonally, very even

Nothing of note

The best Digital Sound Projector yet – hugely impressive

Yamaha YSP-900 speaker system

 

Yamaha's YSP is part of a series of digital sound projectors designed to offer an all-in-one surround sound solution. You're paying quite a lot for the YSP-900, and to get the full benefit from the system you'll need to make sure it's set up in the...

Neat, stylish and compact, helpful initial setup utility, plenty of configuration options

Sheer range of ways you can configure sound is a little daunting, bass response not as good as we’d hoped, quite expensive

You’re paying quite a lot for the YSP-900, and to get the full benefit from the system you’ll need to make sure it’s set up in the best way possible.

Yamaha YSP-900

 

The YSP-900 is a third-generation model from Yamaha's acclaimed range of Sound Projectors. It's the smaller of the two surround speaker systems currently in the range and is ideally suited towards 32in and 37in flatscreen TVs

Simple to set up, Impressive surround sound

Can lack bass on its own

Yamaha YSP-900 review: Yamaha YSP-900

 

Yamaha YSP-900

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.

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.

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 Digital Sound Projector YSP-1100 review: Yamaha Digital Sound Projector YSP-1100

 

Yamaha Digital Sound Projector YSP-1100

The long and sleek Yamaha YSP-1100 is a single-speaker virtual surround system that uses 40 1.5-inch drivers to bounce sound off walls and create enveloping surround effects while a pair of 4.25-inch woofers produce the bass. Built-in digital...

The YSP-1100 sounds best in sparsely furnished rooms, and the My Beam focus effect doesn't work as advertised. Video connectivity lacks S-Video and HDMI options.

Yamaha's YSP-1100, its best-ever Digital Sound Projector single-speaker surround system, is a breeze to set up and it sounds great on DVD.
