Reviews of the Yamaha YSP-900

    CNET Review

    May 21, 2008

    The Good: Yamaha's single-speaker surround system features 21 1.5-inch "beam" drivers; two 4-inch woofers; built-in digital amplifiers, proprietary surround processing; auto setup with the supplied microphone.

    The Bad: Minimalist connectivity; nowhere near the dynamic oomph of an equivalently priced 5.1 channel HTIB system; lacks finesse on two channel music; you'll probably have to add a subwoofer.

    The Bottom Line: If you don't need the HDMI connections found on the step-up model, the Yamaha YSP-900 single-speaker surround system delivers exactly the same overall sound quality for less money.
