Yamaha goes small with its TSS-20 HTIB

Just in case you can't find a HTIB (home theater in a box) system from Yamaha's CES salvo of four systems, the company has rolled out the TSS-20 at the "really small" end of the scale. The receiver of Yamaha's other HTIB systems has been replaced by a small module that pumps out 6-Watts to the five Bose-esque satellites, and the bass unit (we wouldn't call it a subwoofer) packs 18-Watts of oomph. This setup looks an awful lot like an acoustimass rig, but we're hoping it sounds better. No pricing announced, but it should ship in late May (at least in Japan).

Why wasn't this announced two weeks ago, when I was looking for just this kind of small HTIB? :(

I've got a predecessor product (TSS-1W) for my office. It's a superb desktop 5.1 capable system.
