Yamaha YSP-2700 Soundbar

[Squadrone Rosso]

We had a lightning strike near by this morning.

Usual chaos ensued and everything came back eventually apart from the wireless receiver/ 2 channel amp for our LG 9.1 combined amp / Blu Ray system. This got fried (burnt inside the housing).

It’s 7 years old and a decent enough system for our needs & the part isn’t available any more.

Pretty gutted TBH but started looking at Soundbars.

Any experience of the Yamaha (review below)?

Can get it from Yamaha U.K. for just £472 delivered. Lots of inputs & easy set up really appeal & it’s very living room / wife friendly.

Cheers,

Simon

These things are very personal.
I've never been a fan of any of the pseudo surround bars.
Mostly because I like my TV speaker to do music as well and I don't think these type of units perform well on music.
Try to get a listen to one if you can and see how it works for you.

Indeed. Based on all the written reviews & what I watched on YT, I ordered one yesterday.

Still gutted about my LG system. I’ve emailed LG but no good news

Just an update on this. Really impressed.

Got Sky, a 4K fire stick & a Panasonic UHD Blu-Ray player all routed through it.

Connects to my new a Panasonic TV via ARC. Works a treat.

Can’t say I’m missing the rear speakers (yet). It’s witchcraft! It’s also very unobtrusive & wife friendly....lol
