One-speaker surround sound? Yeah right

I've heard it all before. 'True surround sound from two speakers'. Invariably, you get a wider soundfield with less definition, especially in the dialogue stakes. Newer offerings are doing a better job though. Just take a look at the Kef Kit100 Instant Theatre. Kef_kit100_instant_theatre_1

For a review, see Active Home's one here. Having recently spent the best part of a day crawling around my office floor on hands and knees, rewiring it to become a home cinema, I'm just so chirpy to hear that Yamaha can now do it with one speaker. That's right, apparently 5.1 sound into one does fit. Now they tell me. The Yamaha digital sound Projector (YSP-1) is not your average speaker though. Yamaha_ysp1

It's sleek, designer shell houses 42 amps powering 40 speakers - all firing sound in multiple directions to create a 5.1 surround soundfield. It's already racking up the AV awards but if  you want the world's most mind-bogglingly detailed review then pop over to those barking boffins at Audioholics. The MRSP is a lofty £1,200 but I've seen it online for under £800, inc. delivery.
