Yamaha YSP-1000 vs Polk SurroundBar

Advantages: Great home theatre sound, fantastic value for money
Disadvantages: Unattractive styling, somewhat bulky

...look at the Polk & Yamaha products. Unable to audition a Polk SurroundBar and Yamaha YSP-1000 in an A/B comparison, I consequently decided to purchase both, with the idea that I would eventually keep one and sell the other. I have now had both units for about 10 weeks and when doing my A/B comparisons, both systems are set up so that one speaker is sitting just above the other, playing the same material at the same volume and with instant A/B switching ...

Any way I bought my new system which came in a nice 4 ft box (which made an appropriate plaything for the rabbits) and I started set up, and immediately I fell in love. The YSP-1000 has a brilliant automated set up, which included a microphone to sound volume and frequency ...
...So, after only a few minutes of the setup, I was ready for action, and so I flicked through top the news and found dialog to be crisp, I then turned it to stars wars episode 3 (one of the best films i own to test a/v equipment to its limits) and let me say I nearly wet myself when all around me an explosion bombed through the room, with the volume so high it rattled my teeth (we soon had the neighbors complain and since I have been banned from turning ...
