    Fyi for those who don't know polk is been around since the 1970's but they recently started making home audio systems , but I remember in the 80's when a big band would come to play live they had huge polk speakers , yeah I'm that old

      I had an aftermarket stereo with Polk speakers in my 1996 Z28. Most crystal clear speakers I’ve heard.

    I've been a Polk Audio fan for many years. I've always liked the volume control for the center channel/voices. Many of my elderly enjoy this feature.

    I actually just bought this soundbar a few weeks ago. I went to Best Buy to listen to a few other ones, and they didn't have them set up, so I had to decide from about 5 others including this one. For the money, this one sounded much better than anything else in the range. I love it.

    I bought one the other day, Best Buy, $149 on sale. Bought the Rocket Fish TV mount. This inexpensive sound bar and subwoofer actually sounds incredibly good. The voice clarity of the sounder is top notch, worth every penny and I would recommend to friends. Very impressed.

    Well done review. Someone posted the bar is meant to mount directly to wall, not with under TV bracket mounts? Is this true or wont be a problem to mount w/ brackets under TV?

    Picked up the sound bar for my low end hi-fi theater system a few years ago and it still sounds better than some of the newer stuff that’s being released.

  • @pateegutee7960
    @pateegutee7960 Рік тому

    Thanks for this informative video. One question, do the aux and hdmi ports function exclusively or can they function together at the same time? For example while watching music on tv, can I somehow plug in a mixer in aux where I can plug a mic so I can sing along?

    Great sound bar. Sounds excellent. Very clear. It’s loud enough but you probably won’t win many sound off competitions as I believe the sound bar and subwoofer are rated at 60 watts each. Awesome bang for your buck but probably not loud enough to piss off your Neighbors.

    How do you get the sound bar to boot up into HDMI mode every time? On my Sony X90j it forces me to use the optical as a primary. It boots up a with two dots for optical. I have to press the TV button to switch to HDMI every time I wanna hear better sound.

    So your shelf is shallow, and the back of the soundbar is flush up against it and that's probably not what most people have. You have an additional surface loading: increased volume and bass that most people won't.

    If people don't like the bass you can always tune the bass box with polyfill, add or remove by stuffing the box with more or less of it. Super easy to do. I don't see anyone doing this. 😏
