Yamaha YAS-207 review
I managed to compare Yamaha YAS-207 vs Yamaha ATS-1070, and that’s what I think. In terms of its feature set, the Yamaha YAS-207 cannot be considered a universal system for use in any home theater. But for those who have a limited budget to purchase a soundbar, a small room, and do not need particularly powerful bass, the Yamaha YAS-207 will be a good buy due to its balanced sound and several audio effects. Yamaha was the first to add support for DTS Virtual: X and DTS Virtual Surround in its YAS-207 soundbar. There are 2.1 built-in channels. The power output is 100W. 
Yamaha ATS-1070 review
When testing Yamaha ATS-1070 vs YAS-207, I faced the next features. The ATS-1070 sounds very good at all volume levels and gets louder than I need, the ARC control is convenient, and BT streaming works great. The remote looks simple and dated but is perfectly functional. For the price, I doubt you'll find anything that sounds as good, and most competing units at $100 or less don't include ARC. It has 2.0 built-in channels and 120 W total power: 30 W x 2 60 W built-in subwoofer. 
Yamaha YAS-207 pros & cons
Pros
- Its bass extension boosts low bass levels for a remarkable powerful sound
- It's Clear Voice option, if enabled, will make dialogues and narrations sound clearer
- You can run everything through your TV and out via ARC to your bar
Cons
- The need to install firmware update. Had to go buy a USB stick just for this. I mean why doesn't it come with this already loaded?
Yamaha ATS-1070R pros & cons
Pros
- Hooking up to my TV was easy - I plugged my cable box into the HDMI input, and ran a second HDMI cable from the output to the ARC HDMI port on my TV
- Decent quality materials of housing
Cons
- The feature set for the price, especially the inclusion of HDMI with ARC, and CEC
