Reviews of the Yamaha Air Surround YAS-70
-
CNET Review
The Good: Virtual surround "1.1" system includes a single 4-inch-high soundbar speaker and full-size subwoofer; eliminates the need for other speakers; built-in FM radio.
The Bad: Undernourished dynamic oomph; no video-switching capabilities; only supports three inputs plus iPod dock; no auto setup or calibration; wireless subwoofer would've been nice; best suited to modestly sized, clutter-free, squarish rooms.
The Bottom Line: The Yamaha YAS-70's included subwoofer and affordable price tag make it a tempting choice for virtual surround fans, but it lacks the impressive sonics of its pricier Digital Sound Projector siblings.
