Was looking for a deal for YAS-106B for a friend and bumped into this, seemed a deal worthy of sharing here. Free delivery for online orders Up to 20km by road from selected Betta stores. Pretty good reviews overall.

Don't forget Cashrewards.

p.s: I do understand that a standalone 2.1 will be much better, but everyone has their preferences.

Edit: clarified free shipping condition.
Edit 1: Damn the deal got Ozbaragined. I really hope my friend for whom I was looking this up for managed to get through :)

    Cheap.
    I prefer this than soundbar with separate subwoofer.

  • Saron on 22/05/2017 - 21:19

    Good deal. Pity the closest store to me is over an hour away, so no free delivery. :(

  • huhuu77 on 22/05/2017 - 21:29

    Good deal! I bought last time from eBay binglee when 20%off around $240. For me sound effect is good enough!

    I have one of these, excellent sound for the price.
    Downgraded from a Yamaha 7.1 full size surround system to neaten up the lounge area, not disappointed.

  • hsvprez on 22/05/2017 - 22:02

    "Free delivery for online orders." - need to clarify that.

    Mine says $80 delivery as my closest store is 101 klms away.

    Great find of a deal though. Probs worth the drive to pickup a few if I can get some friends in on it.

    • nokia3660 on 22/05/2017 - 22:07

      done, updated with "Up to 20km by road from selected Betta stores"

      • NitNav on 22/05/2017 - 22:41

        my closest one is 10km away and they still charge me $20??

        EDIT: nevermind, I didn't read the locations

  • hsvprez on 22/05/2017 - 22:11

    Thanks OP.

    Not negging, just got excited. Thanks for the update as I was trying to find T&Cs on site but you beat me by a mile. Cheers.

    I've ordered two, one for each end of the house. See if friends want as well before I do run on weekend to collect.

    • nokia3660 on 22/05/2017 - 22:12

      no worries mate, I just added the shipping offer based on the banner on the site's homepage, didn't look into the conditions apply.

    I bought these at last Bing Lee 20% off sale (eBay). Wanted to get another 2 but they are going for $300+ now.

    You've saved me a couple of hundred $$.

    I've tested this soundbar at Goodguys a while back. I compared it with all other similar soundbars in the store. This is the top notch in terms of sound quality among others. However, the base is not good enough and may need an additional sub-woofer. I've been waiting for the price to drop and here I have it!, thanks OP

        I read this correction on my phone this morning and thought you were correcting the word PRICE in the last sentence.

        Sadly, I've come back too late for the deal this time.

    • EnALup on 22/05/2017 - 23:12

      Do you need additional Amp for sub or add a sub direct as subs normally have amp inside?
      Is it better than Sony which used to appear here quite often with sub?

      • CrushJelly on 24/05/2017 - 10:23

        The YAS106 has a line out for a subwoofer.

        You can either add:
        - a powered sub. It will have an amp inside so just hook it up, tune it and you're set; or
        - a passive sub. But you will need to run it through an amp first to drive the sub.

        You can find heaps of powered subs on gumtree or eBay to try it out.

        As I've mentioned in another comment, the YAS106 doesn't allow you to place a cut off frequency for the sub line out - so you need to make sure the sub you use has one (it'll be a knob that allows you to select a cut off frequency between 20-200hz for example) otherwise, the entire frequency range is received and the sub gets all boomy.

        • EnALup on 24/05/2017 - 13:47

          Thanks. Cut off frequency is not that simple I suppose. You need to know how much the existing speakers can do.

        • CrushJelly on 24/05/2017 - 14:17

          @Gaggy:

          Good thing about any cut off frequency knob on the back of a subwoofer is that it's easy to tune.

          So set it high, sit back and listen, then tune it down to your liking.

          Doesn't really matter what the existing speakers can or cannot do. It only matters how everything sounds altogether.

    Does the soundbar turn on by itself if i turn on the TV? and can the volume be controlled with the TV remote? I currently have a Sony HT-CT180 which doesn't have HDMI.

    But there out of stock :(

    • CrushJelly on 23/05/2017 - 09:11

      This YAS106 has a subwoofer/lineout. So you can connect any subwoofer you want.

      Just make sure the subwoofer has a dedicated frequency cutoff, because the 106 doesn't and it'll be all boomy.

      • HoleInMyWallet on 23/05/2017 - 10:31

        Could you please suggest which subwoofer/s would be recommended for this soundbar? cheers in advance :)

        • CrushJelly on 23/05/2017 - 10:45
          +1

          It'll depend on your room size, budget, music/movies etc.

          Any active/powered subwoofer with a frequency cut off knob, a volume knob etc will work with this. Everything else is up to the user.

    I was advised that even Yamaha doesn't have enough units available to ship as a newer model is to be rolled out in July. Betta is now sitting on money from several shoppers.

        • Jet_k on 23/05/2017 - 14:58

          Doesn't matter however the fact that many units were sold with limited actual stock in hand is fraudulent. Even 1cent in interest earned on service not provided is wrong.
