Yamaha YSP-4300 and YSP-3300 Soundbars Preview

Now we've seen their sound projector before, but this year Yamaha is announcing two new models. They have the YSP-4300 and YSP-3300. Both bring 7.1 HD audio to your living room in a pretty small form factor that can be wall-mounted or placed on a shelf underneath your television. The wall-mounting of these sound bars is actually pretty cool as they seem to float off the wall like a fancy IKEA shelf system.

Both come with a wireless subwoofer that can be placed vertically or horizontally and they have a USB input for iPad and iPhone integration as well as an integrated FM tuner for radio. They have the cool Intellibeam auto calibration and even on-screen dimply via HDMI. The only main difference between the two is the size and number of drivers. The YSP-4300 has 22 drivers and the YSP-3300 has 16 drivers. The MSRP for the YSP-4300 is $1900 and the YSP-3300 is just $1600.
