I'm re-arranging my room and thinking about switching to a sound bar with HDMI just for the simplicity, plus my current sound setup is pretty crappy so I'm sure it will be an improvement anyways. (I got a decent Denon 2112CI AVR right now paired with some lower end Yamaha speakers, would love to go with a proper setup but the house/room is not pre-wired.)
I don't listen to a lot of music, basically just Blu-ray movies and some TV shows like Top Gear and stuff, most BD movies are action.
The sound bars I'm looking at right now are the Yamaha YSP-2200 and YSP-3300, seems like the Yamaha sound projectors are pretty decent when simulating the surround sound effect. Plus I want to get ride of my AVR as well so the 3/4 HDMI input is a very nice feature to have.
Now the problem is, none of the stores in my area carry both YSP-2200 and 3300, so I can't do a comparison between these two, so I'd love to get some input from you who had the chance to play with both or one of these two.
Based on what I have read so far, the YSP-2200 is good for movies, but it's crap when it comes to music, and the 3300 is slightly better with movies and much better when it comes to music. Any comments on that?
Do you think the YSP-3300's improvement in movie sounds is worth the premium?
Are there any other sound bars with at least 3 HDMI input that you would recommend?
