Yamaha YAS-101BL Front Surround System, Piano Black
I aloof afresh purchased the sony kdl55hx820 and bare a complete bar to accomplish up for the blah complete produced by collapsed screens in general. My capital requirements were: Abounding sound, aesthetically adorable and abate anatomy agency back I haven't coffer army my tv aloof yet.Since I capital some bass I was attractive at systems with a sub and absitively the finalists for me were:
Sony HT-CT150
Sony HTCT550W
Panasonic SC-HTB520
Yamaha YAS-101
Sony HT-CT150- Although a nice arrangement I alone it because the sub was not wireless and you bare a bright afterimage band to it because the ir sensor is at the top of it, which makes ambuscade the sub added difficult.
Sony HTCT550W- A superb arrangement really. Also provides hdmi switching at a actual reasonable price. The alone affair I did not like was the added allotment of accessories (receiver unit) that I would accept to stick into my tv angle and that the capital speakerbar has no basic physically. uses ARC meaning, if your tv is capable, you can use a distinct hdmi cable for audio&video + it should about-face assemblage on and off.
Panasonic SC-HTB520- a actual underrated arrangement and by far the best admirable of the units reviewed...main bar is gorgeous, additional thin. Issue for me was that the bar was hardly taller and I was afraid it would block the ir arresting for the tv. Also arc compatible
which brings me to the yas-101
Yamaha YAS-101- listened to it in a abundance and it articulate terrible. no bass whatsoever but I absitively to accord it a try anyway. capital reasons:
1. i knew you can acclimatize the sub woofer level
2. has the ir broadcast so alike if it blocks the afterimage band of the tv it passes the arresting on
3. can apprentice ability + vol + and - of your tv remote.
4. actual acceptable attractive unit, a bit abysmal but still gorgeous
5. has the sub congenital in
After attractive at the altered units in food and such I said If the yamaha sounds center appropriate and I don't accept added accessories (receiver, sub) again it will be account it. I apperceive that you will be giving up some bite with this assemblage back it's a baby sub congenital in but that was ok for me. I accept a abate active allowance and was accommodating to cede bite for beneath affairs and equipment.
TOOK THE UNIT HOME
When I took it out of the box i was afflicted with the piano atramentous accomplishment of the unit, absolutely admirable although of advance will be a fingerprint allurement (but who will blow it?). I haven't coffer army my tv yet so I placed the bar in advanced of the tv. It was a bit too aerial with the legs so I removed them and it was absolute acme in advanced of my Sony KDL55HX820 which has a low profile. (the architecture of the unit, not absolutely flat, allows it to sit appropriate over archetypal tv stands.)
Wiring
My tv outputs 5.1 so I aloof affiliated optical from the tv to the soundbar and acquainted in the soundbar to ability and was off and running.
Remote
It abstruse the ability additional vol +- of my fios alien in about 2 minutes.
Sound quality
Really impressed. Although I had to appealing abundant max out the sub akin it hits appealing able-bodied because I did not accept to get a abstracted sub nor any added equipment. Complete is abounding and you do feel some rumble. Voices are clear, mids admirable and lows appealing impressive. Again I accept a abate amplitude so I'm abiding thats why the bass sounds so good.
Now that it's programmed- about-face on the tv, assemblage goes on. About-face off the tv, assemblage goes off. Success!
only affair that bothers me a bit is the actuality that back I accept tv on alien speakers, back I hit vol+- on the tv a little box comes up for a few abnormal that says tv vol fixed. Not a big accord but aloof putting it out there
If you accept a beyond amplitude this apparently isn't for you, if you are assured absolute accepted 7.1- this isn't for you.
If you demand to advance the complete advancing from your collapsed awning and 1. don't demand to breach the coffer and 2. dont demand added accessories or wires- I confidently say this is the assemblage for you.
