Yamaha YSP-1

Personally, I've heard the unit, and you still need "gear" to make it work. Ok, so one speaker-does-it-all approach. Yeah, you're better off with just 2 well setup speakers and a hidden subwoofer, or a 2.1 system, maybe playing in 2 channel surround enhancement mode!! Soically, you can get much than the Yamie. Sorry, no free lunch.

Hi, I have the ysp800/800 sub in a concrete/glass studio and it is the best I could get for this type of environment. Cool auto set-up microphone based software and real sound for the $$$.

for the price, you can likely do better in a small 5.1 set up. The YSP is also very dependent on the dimensions of your room and the proximity of the side and rear walls. Properly set up and in the right room, it does a great job for its purpose. If you want a single box solution, with no wires (other than the sub, DVD and Cable/DSS box), it is not bad, just over priced.
