Please advise Which one has loudest volume compare to others as my living room is pretty large where I need to set it up with my 4K SAMSUNG TV. Good soundstage, clear vocal and thumping bass is the expectation for ps5/xbox gaming and TV shows and music. Thank you!!

    Yes but not by a HUGE margin - I"m pretty sure you'd be happy with either one. One caveat though - if you want to control the sound bar VOLUME with the TV's remote (as opposed to the Yamaha's own sound bar remote) as far as I know, only the YAS-209 will allow you to do that through its ARC input. Worth looking into : )

    I've heard of a serious design issue with YAS-207 which puts me off wireless subs. is this fixed in the YAS-209? It seems to be the electronics deciding when to output audio to the sub, random muting of the signal then re-instating it. Most obvious with male speech. E.g the voice is higher pitched so the sub is quiet (muted?) then the voice pitch lowers and suddenly the sub is activated as if the male voice is now 'shouting'. This un-natural effect is worse when the bar is under the TV and the sub is behind the sofa. If Yamaha can't get this right it does not bode well for others. Apparently it's to do with a cut-off frequency chosen by Yamaha and cannot be fixed on that model. In my view it would be better to send the full bandwidth signal to the sub and let it do adjustable analogue low pass filtering inside...simple! Then 3 other problems generally with these things.. There is auto mute. Low signal so the sub mutes. This should be removed. Random power off..you pause the video and the sub powers off totally after too short a period. An over aggressive power saving feature Loss of wireless connection...so annoying. Use wires! So 4 designed-in problems that vary with manufacturer and model No thanks, that's 4 reasons not to take a risk. I want one of these things but WHO'S DESIGN CAN YOU TRUST?

    Hi I think all the issues have been fixed I too owned the 207 and loved it my first one quit called Yamaha and they sent me a brand new 207 for free! and never had any issues later I got the Yas-209 and love it no problems and yes there were issues with the 207 and none at all with the 209 a pure gem, that doesn't break the bank.

    IMHO the Vizio represents perhaps a better VALUE but if music and best sound are your priorities you might like the Yamaha YAS-209 a little more . . . I'm in shopping mode too but I hear that the Yamaha is really VERY good on music so that's where I'll be going. I presently have Vizio model (going on it's FITH YEAR!) and I can tell you that it has been stellar and very reliable - it only cost me $170. 00 at Costco and I can vouch that it is a superb buy. If you don't go for the Yamaha then definitely go with the Vizio. Hope this helps.

    Tony Tuff I recently purchased the Yamaha Yas207 soundbar and i am having some trouble with the decoding. It is supposed to decode both dts and Dolby codecs but for some reason it is not showing the dts working. I have it connected to my LG 49 inch (UM7300PSA) I have tried several blurays that dts hd soundtracks and still no dts. I also tried several movies with dts and still no results. I don't understand what is the problem or if i am doing something wrong. Your recommendation Will be greatly appreciated.
