Somehow this is the first time I'm seeing a home audio product from Yamaha. Is it actually by Yamaha or is it some relabeled nonsense?
After seeing that TCL is buying a controlling stake in Sony's television side of the business. I would say we're about cooked on brands being used as fodder to sell garbage. Which is already been going on we just downplay the respect the brand name once had and it becomes a joke... Looking at you Westinghouse.

They have been selling soundbars for several years. I had soundbar SRB 20 from this brand without subwoofer. It struggled with base and had lot of distortion. After adding active subwoofer it sounded way better. Definitely worth the price.

Seriously? Where ya been!!! Yamaha's been at it so long that they coined the phrase "Hi-fi".
"Yamaha has been selling home audio products for 72 years. AND they invented the soundbar!
While the company was founded in 1887 as a musical instrument manufacturer, its dedicated journey into home audio began in the mid-20th century.
Key Milestones in Yamaha Audio
* 1954: The Beginning. Yamaha released its first high-fidelity audio product, the Yamaha Hi-Fi Player. This record player is widely cited as the first audio component to actually use the term "Hi-Fi" in its product name.
* 1967: "Natural Sound" Speakers. Yamaha introduced the NS-20 and NS-30 speakers. The "NS" stood for "Natural Sound," a philosophy based on their experience making piano soundboards, which remains a core branding element today.
* 1972–1974: The Golden Era of Hi-Fi. Yamaha expanded into full component systems, releasing the 700 series (amplifiers, tuners, and cassette decks). In 1974, they released the legendary NS-1000M speakers, which used the world's first pure beryllium diaphragms and are still highly sought after by collectors.
* 1982–1986: Digital & Surround Sound. Yamaha was at the forefront of the digital revolution, releasing the CD-1 (their first CD player) in 1982 and the DSP-1 in 1986, which pioneered digital sound field processing for home theaters.
* 2004–Present: Modern Innovation. Yamaha introduced the world's first "Digital Sound Projector" (the YSP-1 soundbar) in 2004, essentially creating the modern soundbar category.
Today, Yamaha remains one of the few companies that manages the entire "sound chain"—from manufacturing the instruments used to create music to the professional studio gear used to record it, and finally the home audio systems used to play it back."
I have this soundbar it's pretty solid, best to pair this with the true x bar sorround speakers if you can find 2 of them for cheap
how long is this speaker? i bought an LG 48inch OLED TV and looking for good soundbar that will not be sticking out off the sides i think width of a TV is around 43"
Thanks
