Denon HEOS BAR vs Yamaha YSP-2700

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.
