New Yamaha Sound bars YSP 5100

Any plans to review these in the magazine or compare with B & W one? Are they any good. My wife has a very very strong objection to lots of speakers and maybe one of these could be the answer.

We've got a First Test of the slightly smaller version (for 40-42in TVs) in our next issue; with subscribers from @3rd January; in shops by January 6th. So, to clarify that's a Yamaha YSP 4100 review - sure we'll review the YSP 5100 soon, too.

On that note, is this going to be part of a group test? Looks to me that this area is really taking off now, and would be interested to see what's recommended (heard the pioneer HTP-SB300 might be worth a look, and the samsung obviously had a review in the last issue).

It's not formally part of a Group Test - that will follow in a subsequent issue - but all our reviews (including First Tests) are comparative, so we put the Yamaha up against some of its rivals (a couple of which are mentioned in the review) before passing judgement
