By far the cheapest price out there for this soundbar!
Cheapest I have seen it is $995 at Clef Audio
Harvey Norman and The Good Guys are selling these at around the $1250 price range
Absolute bargain
Original 20% off Selected Tech & Electronics @ eBay Deal Post
Awesome deal! I want two but they don't post to NSW regional.
Last time I ordered from Bing Lee on ebay, I selected a random Sydney store, then once it came in got them to transfer the item to Bing Lee Albury. I had a colleague visit Albury and got them to collect it for me. It was a pain but a massive bargain. I live 2.5 hrs from Albury store.
Stereo surround!
For potential buyers: only one input is HDCP 2.2 (4K, HDR etc), it's not Dolby Vision, and doesn't support any DTS:X variants.
According to this https://www.whathifi.com/yamaha/ysp-2700/review#JLmWzy48g1gj… all HDMI's support HDCP 2.2 and Dolby vision support added in the latest firmware update https://au.yamaha.com/en/support/updates/ysp-2700.html
I have two 4K devices connected to this and it works.
My TV was about this much…
my car was about this much..
How's this compare to a Sonos playbase/playbar?
Need to know this too.. to be precised compared to Sonos Playbar/playbase + subwoofer…
I’m aware playbar + sub price is more than double than this, but just curious if this Yamaha can be par with them??
I bought the Sonos playbar originally but returned it (thanks JB Hi-Fi you were all good about it!) for the Yamaha YSP-2700. The main reason was the lack of HDMI & specifically HDMI ARC. That was a show stopper for me — I really didn't wanna mess with an HDMI/optical "switch". You can Google the gazillion threads from Sonos playbar owners trying to overcome this.
The YSP-2700 does the job in my shoe box Sydney apartment & at a reasonable price point too. Spotify streaming also works seamlessly as does the HDMI ARC port so I literally don't have to touch the YSP-2700's remote pretty much ever. The inputs just switch automatically & the YSP-2700 also comes on/off automatically along with the TV (via the TVs remote when powering on/off).
Hope that helps!
Ah man I paid $1199 including delivery from Todds Hi Fi 18 months ago & that was a good price back then — oh well :(
You can't really complain about a price drop 18 months after your original purchase
I have this soundbar and it's excellent. Great Spotify integration, plus Airplay. Produces awesome sound.
Bought this almost a year ago for just under $1100 delivered, if you’re in he market for a sound bar grab this - you won’t be disappointed. I don’t have it setup in the ideal room to get the surround sound effect but have heard good things. Bass is nice and punchy, voice crystal clear - couldn’t really ask for more out of a sound bar
I don’t have it setup in the ideal room
My main TV room has the TV against a brick wall, the other 3 walls are glass (curtains on the left only.) I always wonder if these kind of speakers would work well for me…
have heard good things.
I hear what you did there.
Purchased. Now to offload a pretty good 5.1 system.
This is a bargain for sure, I haven’t seen it below $999
I would rather get a Dolby Atmos soundbar for a bit more
I thought Yamaha had updated the YSP-2700 firmware for Dolby Atmos?
Does it pass through HDR?
You're getting confused with Dolby Vision, which it now supports - as well as HDR10.
This will never support Atmos or DTS:X - you need the 5600 for that - but it supports pretty much every other format.
Tempting but I'll stick with my Polk.
