Yamaha planning a budget version of their YSP-1 Digital Sound Projector?


Yamaha YSP-1


Their first single box surround sound speaker system was a little outside the average consumer's price range (even though $1,300 isn't even close to what some people will spend on a decent home theater setup), but Tech Digest says that Yamaha is working on a more budget-priced successor to the YSP-1 Digital Sound Projector. The YSP-1 is basically a panel with 42 independent drivers that creates the illusion of 5.1 channel surround by bouncing sound off the walls so it seems like it's coming from all around you. Actually works pretty well, too.
