Yamaha YAS 107 Soundbar or SAMSUNG HW-K450 2.1

Hi all,

Which one would you recommend?

The Samsung has obviously been selling like hot cakes today as all sold out unless I drive 20 miles away to pick one up.. I have reserved the YAS 107 however.

I did have the YAS 93 which I was happy with, but reading the which review of the 107 is a bit underwhelming... that said there are quite a few 107 reviews which go a lot more indepth than which's (not difficult) which praise it's performance.

The Samsung scores higher with Which but there are a lot of user reviews about where people say it just packed up on them after a few months or a year.

I don't really like which? I almost feel like they're paid to give good reviews of certain manufacturer's products.

Anyway, any audio experts shed some light on what's the better of the two please?

My parents got the K450 over Christmas, I was quite impressed with it. Good build quality, sounded decent and the wireless sub produced decent bass. The display on the front showing mode, volume etc is handy, a lot of the cheaper ones at this price range just have a meaningless row of LEDs.

Decided i am not going to buy the Samsung. It must be discontinued now as only one major retailer stocks it.

Might go for the 107. Yamaha know how to create sound. Ignoring the which review everyother review website and all user reviews rate it very highly.

I bought my step dad the 107 and you get a huge amount of sound and build quality for the price. I'd highly recommend it. I have a 2700 and honestly the 107 is not far off it when it's in stereo mode with the sub off.
