The Yamaha YAS-209 offers excellent sound quality in a compact soundbar with Amazon Alexa voice control built-in. The mics work well in loud environments and you can use them to stream music. DTS Virtual:X  surround sound offers a rich effect reminiscent of surround speaker sound, and the smart soundbar comes with an articulate soundbar’s wireless subwoofer. Unfortunately, the Yamaha soundbar YAS-209 doesn’t use the company’s MusicCast system, so it won’t sync up with other Yamaha speakers. The YAS-209 is currently out of stock, but the identical Costco version called the ATS-2090 may be available instead.
