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

9x Full-range aluminium drivers

Yamaha giggles:

(all driven by separate DSP for beam steering and the first Yamaha sound beam soundbar being released in 2004)

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

50 DSP chips driving 50 separate amplifiers???

50 DSP chips driving 50 separate amplifiers???

I would guess that they are paired in couples, triples or quadruples so probably few less but still impressive.

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.

Didn't Devialet previously make a soundbar for the UK/European market that could be rented with a Sky television subcription?

I heard this at a AXPONA today. Not as good as the Phantoms (as long as their stereo link is stable... ), 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...

8x Aluminium long-throw subwoofers

The complete quote was "8x Aluminium long-throw subwoofers for VERY nearfield listening"

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
