    "Thebest combination of quality convenience practicality"

    by manupuri42 on September 7, 2009

    Pros: ease of installation
    looks great
    great movie sound quality
    surround sound that actually works
    solidly built

    Cons: Should have had more Digital input
    needs a sub for best results

    Summary: Well i bought my Ysp 900 around a month back and is a great upgrade from the puny sound you get from regular plasma or lcd screens.
    i have never been an audiophile but wanted a good, decent no nonsense system which i could place in my bedroom without ruining the decor with wires and speakers hanging all over the place. Actually it looks very neat and classy sitting there under my plasma with an attractive white display. Initially i was thinking of buying a set of bose stereo speakers but when i was introduces to the ysp 900 it completely changed my perspective.
    Obviously it cannot beat a good 5.1 speaker system and i guess no body should expect it to, but as i didnt had the luxury of a separate room for a home theater this was the best choice for me.
    My room is 18'x18' feet and i guess its right for about this size only on the max side any bigger and it will lack the oomph. but having said that i sit on my bed on the opposite side right against the back wall which is not the right place as it is not able to bounce off the sound waves from the rear wall but still i have to say the system works really well and it actually does make u smile when u hear thing coming from left and right, a surround bar that actually works. i have a ysw 215 sub attached to it and they make a perfect combination. The setup of surround sound is also very simple with a click of a few buttons and the mic supplied with the system and it is calibrated and ready for use in about 2-3 minutes As for normal music it is not as outstanding as it is with movies but nevertheless the performance is more than adequate.
    The only down side is lack of more digital input, its got one coaxial and two optical thats about it the rest are analog and also a little bit more volume can help or maybe upgrade to ysp 4000 if you got rooms bigger than mine in sq. ft.
    Bottom line I would recommend it to anyone who doesn't have a dedicated home theater room.
