Yamaha YSP-5600 Soundbar
For huge home cinema sound with a manageable footprint, the YSP-5600 may win alot of friends - I’m going to hold off any final judgment until I can hear the effect in a quiet living room rather than a riotous trade show, but I’m quietly optimistic. The price? Ah, yes. At £1,600 without the subwoofer, and £1,900 with, this is the Rolls Royce of soundbars - keep an eye out for Alphr’s full review.

By Alphr onWenn sich ein Gerät die Bezeichnung Frontsurround-System verdient hat, dann ganz klar Yamahas YSP-5600. Zugegeben, das Gerät ist nicht gerade klein und mit 1.700 Euro auch kein Schnäppchen, doch hier muss man bereits mit echten Surrond-Sets vergleichen,...
