The folks at I4U pointed me to their recent review of the Yamaha Sound Projector YSP-1000. Available in black or silver, what makes the YSP-1000 a great home theater solution in their eyes is the fact that it rids of wire clutter and uses the surrounding walls of a room to reflect sound. And with its 42 digital amplifiers to power 42 sound drivers, watching Mission Impossible will be a whole new experience.

The YSP-1000 supports Dolby Digital, DTS, Dolby Pro Logic, Dolby Pro Logic II and DTS Neo:6. It also offers 5 Beam modes, TruBass, 7 CINEMA DSP programs, and is perfect for 42-inch screen TVs. 

The YSP-1000 can be wall-mounted or placed on a shelf or rack, but I4U decided to keep it tucked under the TV. To test its performance, they popped in one of the Matrix DVDs. "I was totally blown away by the surround sound effect. The sound is crystal clear and I can experience the spatial located sounds. At first its kind of magic as I just look at the box in front of me. But the sound is coming from the side. Did I mention I am sitting in front of a 106-inch screen? Life is good." Yeah, life sure is good if you've got a TV THAT big!!

I4U's Verdict: The YSP-100 produces great sound quality. Installation is as easy as 1-2-3. Highly Recommended.

Buy it for 750 Euros at TechnikDirekt or Amazon.com for $1,499. Read the rest of I4U's review here.
