Yamaha YHT-391

The Yamaha YHT-391 is an entry level 5.1 channel home theater system from Yamaha's HTiB (Home Theater in a Box) lineup and is an upgrade to Yamaha's YHT-390 system.  The system comprises four two-way surround speakers each with a 2.5" woofer and a 1/2" tweeter and a two-way centre channel speaker with dual 2.5" woofers and a 1/2" tweeter.  The five satellite speakers all include acoustic suspension and are smaller than the speakers included with the YHT-390 although they produce the same RMS power handling of 100W.  The system also includes an 8" 100W subwoofer which, along with the satellite speakers, provides a 600W surround sound experience.
