Performance

Yamaha YSP-1 Digital Sound Projector (silver)

Stylish single-speaker system; two 4.5-inch woofers, 40 1.5-inch microdrivers; built-in digital power amplifiers eliminate the need for an A/V receiver; generous connectivity options; optional wall-mount bracket.

The sound quality is not as good as the surround effects; pricey, and you'll have to shell out more for a subwoofer.

With the YSP-1 Digital Sound Projector, Yamaha's bleeding-edge speaker technology creates a convincing surround-sound effect, but the quality won't satisfy audiophiles.
