In a flat panel world, more and more of our customers are opting for soundbars as their TV audio solution. Fortunately they've been getting better and better (many of the early examples were less than impressive), and the new YSP-5600 BSW soundbar from
Yamaha is one of the best we've heard.
With 46 speakers on board and an external subwoofer, it uses Yamaha's digital processing prowess to deliver a phenomenally convincing surround experience. It packs 7.1 channels of
Dolby Atmos and
DTS surround sound and uses directional speakers and you room's reflective surfaces for the closest thing to 'real' surround sound you can get without a room full of speakers.
It's more than just a TV audio device though. It has
Spotify,
Pandora and
vTuner on board for music. And it features Apple
AirPlay along with Yamaha's
MusicCast and
Bluetooth for wireless music enjoyment.
Subwoofer included
The YSP5600 includes the YST-RSW300B subwoofer for deep, extended bass.
