Hope this input helps a bit

Hi Graham,

I read your post n entire thread. I hope u dont mind an input from a female

I totally agree with u over space area n budget n clean lines. More than a year ago my husband n I changed TV  n to create clutter free look, we decided on the Yamaha sound bar n do without the existing complete surround system we had for 12 years.

What we have is: - Yamaha YSP-4000 Digital Sound Projector

                          - Yamaha YST-FSW150 Subwoofer System

Since your TV is 32' probably u can consider the shorter model. Ours is longer to match our TV size

We both love the Yamaha for all the reasons u mentioned. The subwoofer is so compact! I like it. Our TV is wall mounted so the sound bar is wall mounted, too.  According to the manual, there are few ways of installation: - metal wall bracket

                                                                                                                      - put on top of your TV

                                                                                                                      - put under your TV if u are using a rack

Like u said, it is pretty good audio. It has built-in 2 woofers n 40 full range small speakers. It creates true-to-life 5.1-channel surround sound that makes u feel there are actual speakers around the room even in a small listening area. The features it has:

- Digital Sound Projector; control n steer multiple channels of sound

- My Surround; allow enjoyment in small listening area

- Cinema DSP; allow movie experience with the original dramatic impact

- HDMI interface

- Versatile Remote Control; can preset your DVD player, VCR, cable TV tuner, digital satellite tuner

- Auto Setup Intellibeam; auto sound beam n acoustic optimization in accurate n adjusted way to match listening environment

- FM Tuner; for 40stations, auto preset tuning , Radio Data System capability (applicable to Europe)

What I like about the subwoofer is it can be placed vertically or horizontally.

Hope u have a clearer idea about this sound bar

Cheers,Linda
