I've been reading with interest the comments on the YSP-1100 on engadget.com. I'm probably typical in that I am looking to replace my 5.1 system with something with less of a footprint, yet want to retain the superior acoustic qualities for movies and music. I don't think my room config would pose any difficulties - couch dead center in front of the tv on the opposite wall, and the two walls perpendicular each have door openings. The only issue may be that one of the walls perpendicular to the couch has a wide french door with not much wall to bounce anything off of. My purpose for this post is to ask about the 1100's i/o's. Curiously it doesn't have HDMI. Does this not limit its use with HD sources (such as HD cable boxes and DVDs)? Or is it an option to wire those units directly to the TV with HDMI (for video) to get to 1080 resolution and connect the same to the speaker system using component? Hmmm....
Sony's just released a 15.5-inch addition to its VAIO S Series that not only adds a crucial bit of extra display acreage, but also bumps things up to a full 1080p.
