But the Devialet has the "ORB

I would guess that they are paired in couples, triples or quadruples so probably few less but still impressive.50 DSP chips driving 50 separate amplifiers???
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...

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...
