Denon’s X-Space DHT-FS5 the surround bar

January 25th, 2008

Taking on Yamaha’s surround bar the YSP-500, Denon have launched their very own version, the DHT-FS5. The specs are minimal in both themselves and actual figures but here they are anyway.

* 4 x 25 to 50W speakers
* 4 channel X-Space surround
* Audio input, 2 optical audio inputs, coaxial input, analog audio
* 750 x 138 x 118 mm
* 5.1 kg

I’m still not convinced that these suckers produce a ‘true’ surround sound experience and being priced at 65,000 Yen (US$600) it would be an expensive test to run. However if you are short of space and/or don’t like cables lying around your lounge floor than a surround bar could just be what you are looking for.
