Eww. You could get mice living in there.
On a positive note, I expected we would see the first cell phone with a plastic peel-off saying "BUILT IN SUBWOOFER".
Fortunately I seem to have been wrong.

Finally, a receiver for those who LOVE receivers.
In that "special" way.

On a serious note, that can NOT be good to have all of the innards of a receiver being rattled by a built in sub....

Any person who designed this should not have the privilege to be titled "Engineer". Also, any Engineer who signs his name on an audio product with 10% THD should be very ashamed.

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

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

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.

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

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

What I really hate is when marketers take words and use them totally in the wrong context from which they belong to make you think something is better than normal. Last night I saw a commercial for some new anti-wrinkle cream that called itself some kind of blah blah blah Wrinkle Protocol. The actors kept repeating the word as they spouted on about how since they started using the "blah blah blah Wrinkle Protocol", they have gotten such great results.
It's a Cream People, a physical object. Not a "protocol"!!!
With great power comes Awesome irresponsibility.

But the procedure for using the cream could be considered a protocol. Oh, and Audioholics has their First Look at the receiver with the integrated sub up now.

True enough, but that' is not how they were using it in the sentences. It's semantic usage inferred that the cream itself was a protocol all on it's own.
