Its size looks to be a lot larger than what might be needed to help support the rest of the smaller five channels. As for the subwoofer, it has been kept with the same plastic built quality as the other drivers in its family. It is long, like any conventional centre channel, although its length doesn’t support that bottom reflex slot. The centre looks like its part of the same set primarily because of its black gloss finish. The bottom edge of the satellites has been given bass reflex slots, to allow them some bass extension probably.ĭimensions of the Yamaha YHT-196 AV Receiver Nevertheless, once we started unveiling the satellites, we realized after removing the first two speakers that they were all identical with curvy boxes and no sharp edges on them. In this case, Yamaha did the compartmentalizing so tightly that once we saw it, we didn’t want to remove the speakers from their place. There is something to be said about the design efforts required to get five satellites, a full-size AV receiver and a subwoofer, all in one cardboard box. Yamaha is no new kid in this 5.1 entertainment market segment and they are here this time with their YHT-196 HTiB.
That’s the fun of HtiBs (Home Theatre In A Box), something that plenty of manufacturers who care about the masses love to build. After having gone through an entire month of floorstanders, satellites and receivers each wrapped in their own box, it was refreshing to find the entire package in one box.
