Yamaha DVX-700 2.1 HTiB System Announced

Written on Dec 26, 2008 by Brian and filed under News, Yamaha

Yamaha has added to their home theater in a box system lineup with the new DVX-700. The 2.1 system comes with a 1080p upscaling DVD player, 70W satellites, 70W subwoofer and Yamaha’s Air Surround Xtreme for simulated surround sound.

The DVX-700 does its best to make sure listeners get the sound they want from this small system. The system features HDMI digital output and 1080p video upscaling from the included DVD player. The simulated surround sound system comes with four modes (Movie, Music, Sports and Game) and supports three speaker position modes (Narrow, Normal and Wide) to get the best sound for your space.

The two satellite speakers are 70 watts each and contain a 2 1/8-inch woofer and 1-inch tweeter. For bass, the 70 watt subwoofer features a 6 1/2-inch driver.The speakers include removable stands and are wall-mountable with vertical and horizontal placement capability. 

The system offers a polished black and white finish that will blend well with more contemporary home theater designs. The biggest down side is the price, coming in at an MSRP of $1200. With no Blu-ray and only 2 satellites to deliver simulated surround sound, we’re a bit cautious. Nevertheless, Yamaha has a track record of delivering great sound out of small packages, so we’ll give them the benefit of the doubt until we see the system close up.
