Overview
A living room that needs real surround sound gets a full kit here: a Yamaha AV receiver, a set of surround speakers and a powered subwoofer. The receiver handles video switching and decoding, while the satellites can hang on the wall from keyhole slots.
Everything for a surround setup arrives together, down to the surge protector and the audio cables, so there is little left to buy before the first movie night. YPAO calibration measures the room and adjusts the speaker settings for you. Missing input counts and speaker driver details make it harder to plan a larger setup around it.
Who it's for
Families moving up from TV speakers to a proper surround layout will find the receiver, speakers and subwoofer already matched. People who only want a single bar under the screen, or who already own speakers they want to reuse, should look elsewhere.
Pros and cons
- Receiver, speakers and powered subwoofer come matched
- YPAO auto calibration tunes sound to the room
- EARC and ARC simplify TV audio return
- Keyhole slots allow wall mounted speakers
- HDMI input count not listed
- Satellite speaker driver sizes unstated
- No network streaming mentioned beyond Bluetooth
- Bundle extras are third party accessories
Performance notes
Room calibration does most of the work: YPAO measures the space with its analysis routine and adjusts each speaker so dialogue and effects blend at the seat. The discrete amplifier design and low jitter clock circuitry feed the satellites, while the separately powered subwoofer handles the low end so the receiver is not straining on bass. Bluetooth music runs through the Compressed Music Enhancer to restore some of the detail lost in compression.
