I love Yamaha so my questions are :

George Sunsnow

My first and second home cinema systems were Yamaha and super gear especially their dsp /sound field options

We’re thinking of adding surround sound to a living/dining kitchen area
It’s a small room (11’x14’ approx)
So it’s sound bar territory possibly but
Looking at

2: https://www.richersounds.ie/p-201913-vsx531.aspx
(With a speaker pack -small)

3: http://www.richersounds.ie/p-202832-yamaha-yas207.aspx The sound bar option
That has Dts x which has mixed reviews,how do you think that would perform in the small room size of 11x14 versus the above or the number 4 Yamaha option

4:https://www.richersounds.ie/p-202921-yamaha-yama-yht1840-blk.aspx

You can see the budget and I’m leaning towards option four myself

Also obviously I will be making the purchase via your Black Friday deals so will depend on what you do when you release those offers :-)

This is a secondary room where we would go if someone else wants to watch a movie in the main room or to listen to music
Opinions welcome
Thanks

Hi George,

I'm not sure what your option 1 was meant to be ( at the moment it's the same as your option 4??) but if it was me and I had space I would opt for the Yamaha YHT1840 as its an excellent system for a really reasonable price and its designed as a compact and cohesive system so it would fit your bill in a smaller room but still sounds excellent.

If space really was at a premium then the Yamaha YAS207 is an excellent option and has receiver superb reviews:

John,what’s the yas207 sound bar like for playing music? Would it be reasonably deep stereo?

There seems to be precious little reviews of the yht 1840 kit
I found some on the India amazon site that were very positive,it must be very new,there isn’t even a YouTube unboxing or test video?
I’m loving the thoughts of the 17 dsp modes on it

Hi George,

The YAS207 is good for music however it wouldn't compare to an amp with separate speakers. You can get a wider soundstage with speaker placement that you can't get from a sound bar. We've literally only got the 1840 in in the last few weeks and we haven't even had a chance to unbox it ourselves but judging on the old 1810 it should be a great system!

Let me know what you think.

Kind regards

David
