Yamaha YSP2200 & Panasonic BDT310 or Panasonic SC-BTT755 5

Which do you think would sound better the stand alone blu ray and sound bar or the all in one Panasonic home cinema system?

Are these new all in one systems better than the Yamaha YSP2200 soundbar?

It is a tough call as they are different things. The 2200 is brilliant, really does give you surround sound and is nice and clean at low and high volumes. It is also tiny so if you dont have the space it is perfect. The Panasonic does give you surround sound but not to the same quality, it would very much depend on your room as to how much performance you got out of both.

I would opt for the Yamaha.

The problem is the shape of the room, it's a rectangle but the tv is on the long wall at one end so the walls the sound bar would reflect of would be on one side 11ft and the other side 3ft so I don't think the effect would work well.

Or would the soundbar componsate for this?

I just can't see it working well with the shape of the room.

The YSP will compensate for that - we have a similar set up in the shop - no rear wall to the demo area and a window 4m to the right. The overal quality of the sound is high and the surround effect works very well.

I also have mine set up in the corner of a rectangular room with a settee also very close and it works beautifully. I previously had a Sony all in one which was good for the price, but I think the Yahama is in a different league.
