    I love this thing. It’s so simple that even the most non-technical of people can figure out how to use it. It’s also just so damn convenient that you will find yourself listening to more music than you ever imagined, which is a compliment traditionally reserved for the most lofty audiophile products, with a price tag to match. Yamaha should be proud of how well the YSP reproduces music from such a slim and relevant product. Read more

    The YSP-4000 is the newest and top-of-the-line product in this well received line. To say that it has been pushed to its limits in this review is probably an understatement. But did it pass?

    One thing we learned from reviewing Yamaha’s YSP-4000 Digital Sound Projector is that this isn’t a gimmick. It really works, and in the right rooms the setup works really well (prior to purchase, we also auditioned a properly-configured unit in an enclosed room). There’s plenty of power for the recommended room size (25’x25’), the audio quality is very good, and surround sound performance is on-par with similarly-priced 5.1 setups. One of the biggest benefits... Read more

  4. Yamaha YSP-4000 Digital Sound Projector

    Reviewer: Home Theater
    12 December 2007

    The Yamaha YSP-4000 Digital Sound Projector ($1,799) is one of the simplest solutions this speaker-shy demographic could embrace. One could call the YSP-4000 the ultimate HTiB (Home Theater in a Box) because it contains speakers (or what Yamaha calls "sound beams"), amplification and complex signal processing that emulates surround sound, and video switching in a single enclosure.
