Have the Soundbar for several weeks in operation. It was clear that you can not replace my old 5.1 system, the difference would be so serious but, in the negative sense, surprised me already. Who will have an LED or plasma with very lousy audio characteristics with the Soundbar perhaps happy, but who has little more demanding in terms of sound quality, is using this system, as well as the other not happy in this price range. Had direct comparison even the Panasonic and LG can test Soundbar, then decided on the Yamaha. Anyone who wants to understand what it hooks, only has to look at the sound bar precisely. Two Minitröten with 5cm diameter sitting in a slim plastic case and strive to transform the delivered food useful. That works out mentioned reason more bad than good. Tonal totally unbalanced to make the extremely negative impact on music DVDs, less with action-packed sequences. The subwoofer makes as total a much better figure, but only if it can be placed in the vicinity of the bar. The bass is deep reaching, dry and contoured. Effects are quite well reproduced with a pseudo-surround circuitry that serves its purpose, voices do not sound natural, music very pressed. Not recommendable without even considering the price. However, similar systems in the same price range are even worse. Some authors write of full and good sound with such systems, sorry, that's ridiculous!
Pro: Subwoofer and its processing easy to setup and use
Contraindications: not suitable for music extremely cheap-looking and sounding systems in Riegel little connection options
Conclusion: To spice up very bad TV sound the part is suitable, who is certainly otherwise music needs only to irrigation also happy, everyone else, hands off!
