Yamaha YHT-791BL home theater system
Editors' rating: 3.5
The good: Excellent sound quality; includes component-size AV receiver; four HDMI inputs; iPod dock included; onboard Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio decoding; upconverts analog video signals to 1080p; automatic speaker calibration system; less expensive than competing Onkyo system.
The bad: Large speakers will overwhelm small rooms; competing Onkyo has a better-sounding subwoofer; cannot assign audio inputs; onscreen display looks outdated.
The bottom line: The Yamaha YHT-791BL home theater system sounds nearly as good as the Onkyo HT-S9100THX (while costing less), and comes with an iPod dock, making it an excellent all-in-one system for the audiophile on a budget.
