I think it's a great idea that opens up options for a home theater in areas that really lack space.
For example . . .
- in the kitchen cupboards
- the linen closet
- back of the cutlery drawer
and
- the fireplace
Epic 50 - 500 System ( M50 / QS4 / VP100 / EP500 )

I can't wait to see the info-mercial. "Tired of listening to awesome sounding surround sound through those pesky SEPARATES (shows footage of guy surrounded by two tower speakers, a center channel and two satelite speakers with that stupic look on his face that says "I just don't know what I'm supposed to do with all of these"!!!), well its your lucky day, because Yamaha has gone and incorporated all of that sound in one simple machine! All your friends will wonder how all of your DVD's sound so amazing, why you'll be the talk of the neighborhood! But why stop at one Yamaha integrated reciever? Buy five today and enjoy surround sound the way only the extremelly wealthy have been enjoying it for centuries! Upgrade your order to 7 units and we'll even throw in this handy dandy power cord!" I did have a whole list of Axiom products I was wanting to buy. Now I can scratch all those off and just write 'YAMAHA' in big, blue letters up at the top and be done with it.

The 10% THD is only when it's playing bass. With all those electrons jiggling off their paths, it's no wonder. As Spoiler said, it's 10% all around... Shocking!

Yamaha’s proprietary AIR SURROUND XTREME technology...
Lol. Mkay.
This makes Bose look respectable. I so hate most consumer electronic "gimmicks".
What's interesting is, the Yamaha N12 mixer (professional division) is currently creating serious buzz amongst pro audio people as having probably the best sounding a/d and d/a converters for under 10k.

I remember talking to Tom Cumberland about Yamaha. Their pro and consumer divisions are completely separate and quite different animals.
Yamaha also makes one of the most respected studio speakers around: second only to B&W.

Considering how badly things are getting mixed at studios is it really a good thing to be compared to studio monitors

More like leading a horse to water, but you can't force it to drink. The best equipment in the world will not make up for a crappy engineer.

And from the sounds of it the engineer is only following orders from the execs at the recording studios and/or the musicians themselves, all just for radio play
