5.0 out of 5 stars No hype, just great performance
The Polk Magnifi Max AX SR (2023) system is a great performing system that gets overshadowed by the more hyped up systems like those from Samsung, Sonos, etc. I tested this Polk system against Samsung's flagship Q990D and couldn't notice the difference when it came to Dolby 5.1 with or without Atmos. Indeed, some aspects of the Polk system were better than Samsung's. The best aspects of the Polk system are:1. Very easy setup. No app or login to the vendor site needed. Just plug in the soundbar, connect to TV with HDMI, and plug in the subwoofer and surround speakers. It just works. You may use the Google Home app to connect the soundbar to Wifi, but that's optional.2. Easy to use remote with a substantial text display on the soundbar visible across the room. This is as simple as it gets. You may think that the lack of an app to fiddle with a lot of features is a drawback, but the system has the right controls on the remote and the minimalist design actually works well.3. It automatically responds to your TV remote. No programming of any kind needed.4. Provides 3 HDMI input ports, a rarity in this price range. With the right setting on the connected devices (I have a Fire Stick connected), the soundbar automatically switches to the right input when the corresponding device is activated. The TV is also turned on automatically via the HDMI CEC. A must-have feature if you have more than one device connected to the soundbar.5. Dolby 5.1 with or without Atmos sounds very good. The subwoofer is substantial (10 inch, another rarity in this price range), and the surround speakers, though small, are loud and make a big difference. Compared to the Samsung flagship Q990D on the same scenes, I couldn't tell any difference. The thing to note though is that the sound quality varies as per the source material. You need premium subscriptions with Netflix, Bolo, Paramount+, etc to get Dolby Atmos, and movies from Max often sound subdued compared to these other streamers. Best performance will be with Blurays presenting uncompressed multichannel sound tracks.6. The All-Stereo mode allows you to play music on all speakers, which is a great feature. Adds life to stereo 2.0 sources. I didn't see this in the Samsung Q990D.7. The Polk system also allows you to balance the volume between the right and left surrounds. This is a very useful feature that lets you position the surround speakers wherever there is room in your setting and just adjust the balance to suit your seating position.On the flip side, I cannot tell whether the two upfiring speakers make any difference. Not just in this Polk system, but also in the Samsung flagship, which as up and side firing speakers. The sound always seem to come from the soundbar, not magically above your head. Perhaps this depends on your setup. The surrounds do make a big difference.Overall, the Polk Magnifi Max AX SR performs well and a great value for money especially if it's on sale. It's solidly built, easy to set up and use, and makes a difference in your movie experience. There is no hype or cult behind Polk, but it performs as good as more expensive systems at less than half the price.For those curious about the power output, there is no specs available from Polk. We can only deduce this from the input power consumption. The soundbar is rated at 120W, the subwoofer at 200W, and surround speakers at 18W each.
5.0 out of 5 stars Great product, great value, painless setup in under 10m
It is a great product for my needs. Specifically, ease of setup, wireless (except for the tv connection cable) and decent sound. Probably the most painless setup of a sound system I have ever experienced. The sound is impressive for what it is. I have to replace a pretty good component system with large floor standing speakers, and a dedicated sub woofer. So, no, the overall sound profile is not as good, but I am happy. It is unremarkable, and the issues I had with my aged out tower speakers is now no longer a problem.I did hear some pops and crackles others spoke of, but only when streaming youtube over the phone using blue tooth.I did keep the packing box, with photos of how everything was packed, in case there is a return needed.I recommend this unit without reservation for anyone looking for a reasonably priced wireless soundbar with satellites and sub.
4.0 out of 5 stars Polk audio magnifi max sr
This sound bar does not get the love it deserves as it’s not a tv name brand and gets overlooked. Has great sound for what it is. I moved from a klipsch home theatre system and Denon $600 2023 midrange receiver . This sound good and surprisingly good bass. Of course it’s not as good as a component setup but also better than allot component. Ease of use and sound quality for a soundbar are about as good as you can get for under a thousand dollars. It compares favorably with more expensive systems. Remember, price does not dictate good sound to a degree. Why I say that the sound bar is very competitive in price for what you’re getting. Polk, Who is a well-known speaker company is over looked in this field.
5.0 out of 5 stars Polk MagniFi Max AX SR
Most of the reviews here are for an earlier version of this product, the Max. The Max AX model came out in September, 2022 and that is the model I purchased. There seems to be a number of complaints about that earlier model. Reviewers mention hearing snap, crackle and pops coming through the system. The system has 4 components...soundbar, 2 rear surround speakers and the sub. The soundbar connects to the other units through a private WiFi network at 2.4Ghz, which is completely independent of your home set up. Interference with this network likely was the cause of the earlier problem. Polk says the new AX version has an improved chip set for a better connection, and improved rejection of other nearby signals.After over 100 hours of listening through both the ARC HDMI and Bluetooth inputs, I can report that all I ever hear is clean sound. Not a single pop or crackle ever. If there was a problem with the earlier version, I believe Polk has fixed it.Next up is the subwoofer. I have designed, built and installed many subs in the car audio business. My experience is that the most critical part of a sub is NOT the speaker...It's all in the enclosure. A proper enclosure can make an average speaker sound great. It's critical that the enclosure be as strong as possible to avoid any flexing in the box. With this newer AX model, Polk has moved on from the cheaper composite material used in the Max and now uses MDF (medium density fiberboard) in the Max AX. This is an excellent choice and the go to material used in the subs of the "boom" cars in your neighborhood. The material is heavy, and that's why the sub weighs so much.To my ears, it sounds great. A single 10" sub is not going to shake your windows, but it will give you the boom when the explosions hit in the movie your watching. More importantly, it does a good job of delivering harmonic overtones...the "rattle" that follows the boom as it fades away. For the price, Polk has done a good job with the improved performance of the sub.I also read here complaints about the "feel" of the remote. All I can say is that a gentle push of the buttons activates the function. It works just fine for me. Don't know if Polk upgraded this piece or not.I have the AX SR version, which adds the rear speakers. There is plenty of audio signals present in the rear channels of every movie I watch on Bolo or Netflix. They really do add to the whole experience. I also use this set up to watch and listen to live concerts on YouTube, streamed from a laptop through the standard HDMI input. When I do, I move the rear speakers to the front of the room, and switch the sound mode on the Polk to stereo. In this mode, the front left and right signals are ALSO sent to the rear speakers for a true 2 channel set up. Moving the rear speakers to the front of the room expands my sound stage another 10 feet across the front. So this is a versatile unit that can be used for more than just TV sound. Just a note...while the rear speakers look identical, they are not. Each has a dedicated WiFi receiver to only operate as left or right. Turn them over and they are labeled on the bottom as to L or R.Last thought is the manual. No reason for Polk to include it as most people won't read it. You can locate and download it in 10 seconds with a Google search. It is loaded with info, including several additional functions not labeled on either the soundbar itself or the remote. These involve pushing 2 buttons at the same time to activate a feature. Like how to turn off the "sleep" function.In summary, I have no real complaints. A true home theater costs thousands of dollars and of course wires everywhere. Polk has done a great job of "shrinking" everything into a compact unit that sounds great. Every feature works for me and there was never a time when something didn't work. You might think about spending a little extra to get this AX model which is a definite improvement over the earlier versions. Thanks for reading and good luck with your purchase.
Sounds amazing, looks superb and the subwoofer is perfect
Replacing a 5.1.2 LG, from when Atmos was first launched. It was getting laggy, and the sub was on its way out. Time for a new soundbar. I did my research, and the audiophiles seem to really like this one. I have the Polk mini in the bedroom and it is awesome, so I took the plunge. The Polk Max AX SR is on another level. I have nothing bad to say. Looks great, sounds great. I have been listening to JBL, Bose and Samsung at various friends, I can't wait for them to hear this one, it's going to cause some jealousy.
Amazing sound bar
Top of the line sound bar. The sound is incredible and the sub is heavy and wow shakes the house trust me it’s a massive 10” down firing sub get this you won’t be disappointed. Dolby Atmos is really something.You can’t beat Polk Audio.
expensive order left outside without notification
I am very happy with the product itself, quality item, however Bolo left nearly a $1000 item outside WITHOUT a single ring or knock at my door and drove off, yet when i ordered it, it said it WOULD REQUIRE A SIGNATURE FROM ME to be delivered. i was home the entire day, and am just lucky i have trustworthy neighbors who let me know it was sitting outside for two hours.
Producto muy recomendable
La calidad de audio y potencia es muy buena y nítida; consideren que el sufwoofer podría saturar el espacio donde se instale. En mi caso me llevo varios días en poderle asignar el espacio correcto a la bocina ya que el bajeo llegaba hacer un poco incómodo.Como opinión, considero que el producto podría sacársele más provecho en espacios mayores a 24 m2, e igualmente tomen en cuenta que si desean ampliar su equipo a 5.1 canales las bocinas de ambientación traseras (SR1), son muy difíciles de conseguir.
Very satisfied, top-tier sondbar
I purchased this soundbar in late 2022 (shortly after this model first came out), and have been very pleased. I bought it to replace a Sony soundbar that had constant wireless drop-outs (a known problem with the model) - the wireless connection on my Polk has been rock-solid.Great sounding audio - this soundbar really shines when you're playing Dolby Atmos content. Good integration with Spotify and Apple Music as well.Another thing I like is that this is one of the few soundbars on the market that has three HDMI inputs rather than only one or two. Yes, you can eARC with other bars, but that seems to lead to more frequent issues with latency. With this bar, I have my AppleTV, my blu-ray player and my game console all running directly into the soundbar.All in all, very satisfied customer with Polk.
