As far as I can tell, the only difference between the YSP-4100 and YSP-5100 is the length and weight!

YSP-4100 length: 40.55" 1030mm
YSP-5100 length: 47.24" 1200mm

YSP-4100 weight: 22.05lbs 10kg
YSP-5100 weight: 24.25lbs 11kg

Oh and of course the price, 1400 Euros vs 1600 Euros.

Maybe different lengths to match different TV sizes?

I believe 'most' people can hear a difference.
My point was that one is getting a high bit rate of 1.5 Mbps core
on any dts- ma blu Ray disc. One should keep in mind when
1. Movie theater DTS came into being it was 1.5 or about
2. Certain laser discs had a 1.5 dts bitrate and Digital Theater tapes had
1.5 DTS . Also certain early DVDs(Ants, Waterworld, Twister).

All of the above was really considered awesome and the
holy Grail for
movie audio and that one coudnt ask for much better.


One now gets that on most blu Ray discs now that Blu Ray has really moved
to DTS ma far more then Dobly True. And my point is that the 1.5mbps has been shown to be 'pretty much' it's full uncompressed equal sound wise.

I have read tons of reviews of YSPs that say the surround can get "almost" to the rear, but still not provide discrete rears in the way a 5.1 system can. Now they deliver a system that gives the option of 2 wireless surround speakers, and they use them for the side, somewhere the YSP can already easily get coverage to. I don't understand this.
