QUOTE(laziramsi @ Nov 25 2014, 03:21 PM) Hmm..... I would say exactly the same as the 'What Hifi' review. The good side; - Exciting, expansive sound - Plenty of punch - Beautiful design - Greatly built (with quality materials) The not very good side. -It needs a suitable placement and space. Because it reflects sound off the wall in order to deliver the sound effects. Furnitures can become obstructions.  Hope this helps, or you can read more at http://www.whathifi.com/yamaha/ysp-2500/review  Basically any sound bar will need a square and enclosed room to get the proper surround reflection. Soundbar is still too expensive for what it is. Half the price then only i consider. They are no better than proper 5.1/7.1 entry level amp with proper speaker placement.

However, some people favour sound bar than the 5.1/7.1 speaker system because of space constraint.

Yep...i am also tempted...coz small apartment...but already spoiled by a dedicated amp with discrete speakers....unless the price of soundbar is like entry level amp, i can't bring myself to buy it.

QUOTE(willgan @ Dec 16 2014, 10:32 PM) I just bought ysp 2500 last week in harvey for rm 2799 Add 1+4 years So far sounds ok, but need to tune depending on the room.. the wireless sub is quite handy.. i have ysp 3000 .. since 2009.. no problem until now.. Upgrading it to get the dts-hd sound, aptx streaming and 4k in the near future Interested to get YSP-2500. The Harvey Norman current New Year promotion price is RM2995. How you manage to get the price that 's cheaper than promotional price ( RM3199 during Year End Sales Dec-Jan ) ? Do you bargain with the Sales person ?

As far as my visit to HN yesterday...yes you can bargain with the sales person...better if you could snap a pic of the same product selling cheaper at other place..but it up to them to match or not..
I personally think that they have their target sales..if they are desperate..they will match
Anyway...what would be the effect of not square room?..virtual serround cannot archive?

Not necessary to have a square room. In order to get the soundbeams' reflected, you can place any flat surface materials such as photo frames, cardboard,... to reflect the sound to your sitting position.

Quality of the sound projection is good for the size and price. Pricewise, it's still very stable. QUOTE(Matrix @ Jan 23 2015, 11:49 AM) manufacturer or extended shop warranty? Sounds to me like Extended shop warranty. Read through what it covers first. HN's extended warranty is quite ok. A few years back on my Sony LCD TV, they sent Sony's technicians to my house to replace the HDMI port that fried. All paid and covered under HN.
