1 speaker does it all! Many features to make this a good investment.
While the current going rate of about $1600+/- I got it for free..yes free.
I won it w/a 50″ Samsung Flatscreen plasma 1080p hd tv, Yamaha YST-SW315 10-Inch Digital Pro Series Subwoofer and a blu-ray dvd player all from Pepsi!

Coupled with a subwoofer, this is perfect for the person who wants a movie experience without the overload of multiple speakers, receivers and wires. You can’t go wrong, best surround bar on the market.

Quite frankly I could not tell surround sound from plain old TV sounds and was pointed in the direction of the Yamaha YSP4000 by a total tech geek. I had a large room and was not up for ripping up walls to install speakers nor did I want cables running all over the place. I’m totally amazed at the sound this one speaker provides. I also listen to XM and my iPod through a docking station and this system fills the room with sound. LOVE IT!

Purchased this product 2 weeks ago, very pleased with it. I wanted to avoid alot of wires due to brick walls and no atic in tv room, soundbar seemed logical. I tried the sony hct 100, it had teenie tiny sound and i promptly returned it. I installed this unit with a polk 505 12 inch subwoofer, very impressive sound, it literally shakes the walls. Pros–1) Impressive surround sound, it really works 2) easy hdmi connections 3)great dynamic theatre sound 4) easily integrates with my Harmony One remote 5) really looks great mounted on wall directly under my 52 inch sony w4100. Cons—1) You have to change volume through ysp, cant dislay volume on your tv 2) heavy, in a good way, get some help when installing it 3) Needs a subwoofer- I highly recommend the polk 505 12 inch subwoofer. It rocks and amazon has it for ~250. I Feel with these two pieces I have the great, dynamic, room shaking theater system I wanted. I am done.

If you do not want to run cables all over your room for a surround-sound system, this is the option for you. It’s a nice looking unit – it complements my TV very well – and the sound is fantastic, especially when paired with a subwoofer. The initial setup is incredibly easy (makes you wonder why more manufacturers don’t do the same) and takes only 2-3 minutes. Once that’s done you’ve got amazing sound coming from this one box!
One word of note: Purchasing this will require your switching be done through this unit, rather than through your TV. If you have HDMI-CEC components (e.g. a TV and disc player) hooked up via HDMI cables (and why wouldn’t you?), you might have to turn off the HDMI-CEC functionality in order for the switch to operate correctly at start up.
