Yamaha YSP-900
$900.00
The Pros:Simulates surround system in a single unit. Includes amplifiers, eliminating the need for a separate amp or receiver. Automatically adjusts to your room using included mic.
The Cons:Lacks bass response. Isn't a substitute for a true surround system with 5 real speakers. Quality of surround sound effect depends largely on the shape of the room.
The Yamaha YSP-900 is a virtual surround system designed to simulate a 5-speaker surround sound in a single unit. The YSP-900 features 21 x 1-5/8" speakers called "beam drivers", each driven by individual 2 Watt digital amplifiers, and 2 x 3-5/16" mid-range woofers powered by 20 Watt amplifiers.

Yamaha calls this technology IntelliBeam and is automatically calibrated to any size, shape, and construction of room. The YSP-900 is designed to be position below 32" televisions specifically and retails for around $900. It is now available online and in-store.
