Wow... Now how does it spin? That is the question!

But the Devialet has the "ORB®️" so it has to be better ...

50 DSP chips driving 50 separate amplifiers??? :eek:
 
Those Yamaha is surprising. In a medium shoebox room, it simulates better than any soundbar I've heard, a surround set-up. Sounds do come from the back, really! As usual and unfortunately, they never market it properly. Yamaha has made those before the "soundbar" term . An that since December 2004!!! A true Lifestyle product.


Peace
 
I heard this at a AXPONA today. Not as good as the Phantoms (as long as their stereo link is stable... :facepalm:), but it seems like a reasonable product if you have to have a one box solution. It got loud, stayed clear, and gave something resembling actual high cues with ceiling bounce.

I haven't heard any high end soundbars like the Yamaha or Sennheiser to compare it to though...
 
I had the Dione for 2 weeks but returned it. It is so bass-heavy, it is really unpleasant to live with. And the surround effect is pretty average...
 
I see, bad judgement on my part.
Amir cleaned it all up. You missing it and quoting the spam post happens to all of us at one time or another. Spam happens :cool:
