Performance

Yamaha YSP-800 Digital Sound Projector

Self-powered single-speaker virtual surround system; 2 4-inch woofers paired with 21 1.5-inch microdrivers; built-in Dolby/DTS surround processing and digital power amplifiers eliminate the need for an A/V receiver; autosetup capability.

Works best in barely furnished, symmetrically arranged rooms; needs to be paired with a subwoofer for optimal sound quality.

Yamaha's second-generation single-speaker YSP-800 Digital Sound Projector is more affordable and easier to set up, and it sounds better than last year's model.

Expert review by : StuffTV (stuff.tv)

Simple to set up, ideal for smaller rooms or if you don't want loads of speakers - I did keep sub though. Looks great under 32" tv (lcd Toshiba)although you have to search around for a corner stand wide enough to take width of speaker

Not as effective as previous 5 speaker system. Corner position means only 3 rather than 5 beam sound which may account for this
