Sound is good, Bass is good, my room is probably not compatible * Correction. It's really, provided space geometry *

First: the device is very simple. Optical cable plug in and switch on. Bluetooth connectivity, of course, problems. Optical cable comes with me from the computer. Once you have the correct program is set with the FB and the room size to the app, the YSP sounds really good. Deep bass, good coordination, with the right program (not always stereo, personally I like Movie and music) sounds very appealing music. The Clear Voice called vocal raising is very useful even if you naturally have to say that an imperfect sound source their moderate tone passes then amplified. Will hot, sometimes you can see the votes although better understand one hears only existing sound artifacts and noise amplified it. Also UniVolume what corresponds in principle to a (better) "Normalize" function, has its weaknesses: There are extremely amplified all noise in quiet scenes, not quite as much as in a 0815- Normalize function, but.

My problem: A spatial orientation is not given to me. I do not even hear stereo effects really well. Only when leveling I can distinguish at least the left and right, otherwise the whole sound comes from a very narrow range, which is much closer than that would suggest yes quite long Soundbar.

So it's easy, my room too small? Granted, it's at the absolute minimum, which can be set with the app - it was supposed to be only the source for making movies look in bed. In the living room there is of course a bit larger. Surround I have not really expected, as I sit on the wall, and thus no reflection from the rear is possible, but I had expected at least a good stereo.

So as a warning to potential buyers: The rooms may well not too small, and certainly not be angled.

Have now for nearly the same money's even ordered the Logitech Z906. Although is a very different site, and I would really like to avoid even more clutter, the YSP-1400, however, I do not for a de facto mono speaker just a little too expensive. The loser of this comparison has to go back then - what could well be the Logitech if they are too brummelig.

*** ADDENDUM and correction: you activate on the computer "passthrough". ***
First: For my review of the premises initially flowed a the "demonstration" of channels at the volume setting with. Here you can hear pretty bad if something should come from behind or from only one side. Now I have a dramatic mistake: I am practically the decoder of the YSP-bypassed and have can be transferred via the optical input is already decoded signal from the computer. It all went really completely lost to real space. Now that I have found the right attitude, it works - on one side due to the non-ideal Raumgemeometrie - in fact as it should. It sounds coming from far out and even practically from behind, even though I'm sitting on the wall. Of course, not nearly as physically as the Logitech 5.1 speakers that I have for comparison because, yet.

The lack of adjustment - in my Kodi-Media Center, which I also use for playing DVDs on the PC - is: Enable passthrough. Put this the checkbox "AC3 capable receiver" and "DTS Capable Receiver".

Accordingly: A star more. Because it is a principle not unproblematic system it 5 stars from me are denied. In addition, the sound is still not as good as - and just listen to stereo sources still a little worse than - the surround system.

I'd YSP So now recommend that all people whose premises are suitable.
