yas-408 or yas-207

Hi guys,

seeking recommendations to decide between YAS-408 (Music Cast Bar 400) or YAS-207 now that there is Black Friday sale ongoing.

Any expert advice?

Regards

Is that a 120watt system. Your transformer is like 360watt, that is pretty big and not cheap. U factor that in?

Just look around and see what 100-150 can get. You will either find something or find that your budget needs some tweaking if you want the features you are looking for ..

Hi everyone,

Split between the Bose 700 and LG SL9 Soundbar, to pair with my LG C9 55” TV.
I understand that the Bose 700 has no Dolby Atmos function but the LG SL9 is Dolby Atmos Abled.
Daily viewing of Netflix, YouTube and Streaming Videos.

Please kindly advice or recommend other sound bars.

Thank you!

Most important consideration is How Does It Sound to you... please audition with your kind of music and movies. Atmos from a soundbar is an optimistic idea at best..

Better to try listening urself n consider functionalities that are useful to ur own usage.

For myself, I’m using Bose SoundTouch 300 (700 is like a 300 with smart Alexa) & I’m loving the whole listening experience, not overpowering and subtle joyful to listen to. I’m using it with Acoustimass & wireless back speakers btw.
