Yamaha YSP-800 Digital Sound Projector

Unless you're a completely anal audiophile, chances are you'll gladly give up those five ugly speakers and their unsightly cords heading every which way in your living room. The Yamaha YSP800 ($800) is for those of us who want to keep a stealth look but also want stellar sound. It packs 21 speakers and 2 subwoofers in its compact cabinet (which looks just like a single speaker) and uses your walls to create true surround sound. The IntelliBeam system automatically sets up the YSP800 for your room, and ensures optimum multi-channel set-up by constant and precise monitoring and analysis of sound output via the supplied plug-in microphone. The YSP-800 can be wall-mounted or placed on a shelf or rack — and it looks perfect under an LCD or plasma.
