Hoping the upcoming new Sony HT-ST9 Soundbar will be stellar. While I've been given several high end great recommendations I'm holding out to see how the ST9 performs.

Looks like Sony has a few new soundbars coming:

It'll be interesting to see how these compare to the current models.

Doesn't the Yamaha YSP-4300 do all of that now (except HDCP 2.2)?

If you are referring to the upcoming Sony HT-ST9 I do not now. Do yow have an opinion about the Yamaha YSP-4300? My primary criteria is outstanding, robust sound. I'm not concerned with Blu-Tooth or such connectivity. If and when we switch to a sound bar the AVR and of course the speakers will be removed. I plan to connect the DirecTV HD-DVR, Blu-Ray and Toshiba HDDVD directly to the soundbar then the soundbar to the SONY HDTV.

I welcome your comments.
