Yamaha YSP-2700 review
The 7.1-channel unit delivers 107W of overall output power. The front unit of the YSP-2700 includes 16 high-quality 2.8-cm speakers that emit “sound beams”. The layout of the array speakers is optimized in such a way that the reflective properties of the rays are enhanced to obtain the highest possible sound quality. The subwoofer does not require a cable connection, and this greatly simplifies its placement and preparation for work. This subwoofer, which is convenient in every way, gives out powerful bass of high quality. You can play any audio files from your smartphone wirelessly via Bluetooth or AirPlay.
Denon HEOS BAR review
The corporate description for the HEOS Bar says a lot about support for playing Hi-Res audio files (including DSD) over the network and access to external services like Rhapsody, Pandora, TuneIn, iHeartRadio, SiriusXM. But Bluetooth is not mentioned, which is why many immediately disappointed. But on the back panel you will find the coveted “pairing” button for the soundbar with smartphones. You can connect four AV sources to it via HDMI (2.0a / HDCP 2.2 specifications with 4K Ultra HD are supported), digital components via coaxial connection or TOSLink, an external drive via USB Type-A, and a player similar (jack 3.5) mm) and, of course, LAN / WLAN. 
Yamaha YSP-2700 pros & cons
Pros
- This sound bar (a sound projector rather) is a perfect compromise between sound quality, ergonomics, and style
- The wireless sub does a good job of handling special effects and can bring some rumble
Cons
- Obviously it isn't a component system with standalone speakers
Denon HEOS BAR pros & cons
Pros
- Amazing treble and base. You have the ability to adjust both independently on all speakers
- The app also allows you to save presets for volume and equalizer settings
Cons
- It was dropping off my network. It also was losing wireless connection with the sub and rear channels
