Been using the above 1st generation of tube base Home Theatre System. Sounds wise it has the tube characteristic which is very warm and give out audiophile quality listening to music. Compared to the rest of the offering from major brands this wins hands down. Donwside is that my model develop an issue after 1.3 years where the volume auto reduce till "0" and I sent it in for warranty. Samsung managed to replace 2 components to fix that.

I think you should be looking at YSP-2200 and above.
I was looking at soundbars because of the reasons you mentioned. When I read about the launch of the 9100, I thought to myself this (or the Sony ST7) could be the one.

Need to go and check it out for myself and see how good is it. Read that with the speakers detached, they sound fantastic (just the rear speakers tend to be a little louder than the front), but for audiophile music, they are flat.
A 4.1 soundbar that simulates 5.1.
Sure. Why not?
Volume controller chip? You mean the potentiometer?  hmm.gif

not sure since samsung did not specify what they change..my guess is the digital pot or the mc that controls it..
