Our Verdict

Yamaha YAS-207

Sony HT-G700

The Sony HT-G700 is a bit better for mixed usage than the Yamaha YAS-207. The Sony is a 3.1 setup that's better-built and supports Dolby Atmos content. It also has a better center channel performance, and it offers more sound enhancement features like EQ presets. That said, the 2.1 Yamaha is able to reproduce a more extended low-bass. It also has a better stereo soundstage.
