    Polk Magnifi Max AX with SR2 rears is Fantastic
    5 out of 5 stars
    Polk Magnifi Max AX with SR2 rears is Fantastic
    Specifically, I am reviewing the Polk Magnifi Max AX with (2) SR2 surround speakers. This system is advertised in different ways like 5.1 or 7.1. They both have the exact same sound bar and subwoofer. With the 5.1 the SR2 rear speakers can be bought separately and added at a later date. Just make sure you are getting the Magnifi Max AX model! I just bought a new 77 LG C3 television and decided against the LG sound bar system because the reviews were not great. The hook for me with this system was the clear voice technology that works pretty well and every other feature works exceptionally well and has exceeded my expectations by alot. Take your time and learn the remote like the back of your hand and you will thoroughly enjoy this system. Tip: Adjusting all the different sound mode strength levels are simple and only requires a quick press and RELEASE of each function button followed by the plus or minus button for Bass, surround, voice adjust, etc. The surround button has 2 adjustments with a balance adjustment requiring a little longer hold of the button before releasing. I use Xfinity Cable TV and have an iPhone 14 Promax as far as my input sources. I listen to Pandora and Sirius XM via Bluetooth from my iPhone and it is the cleanest, clearest and most enjoyable listening experience sound imaginable in the all stereo mode that you can’t even put into words. ( Correction from my earlier post) After taking a deeper dive into many of the different listening modes available, I experimented with setting up the built-in Chromecast, listening via Apple AirPlay, Bluetooth, or the Pandora app within the TV, I found that they all sounded pretty comparable and you only need to choose any one of the modes above that is easiest for you to use. You really can't go wrong with either one. I would refer you to Polk user manual online for instructions. Furthermore, make sure you are in the "all stereo mode" and NOT the music mode from your Polk remote. I have not yet found the music mode helpful for anything yet, not to say I won't find a use for it in the future. It is simple with lots of different options, just learn the system.) The "all stereo mode" is great for sports as well and seems to separate the sounds between the announcer and the rest giving you a surround type feel making you feel like you are there. The Movie function is also to die for with Netflix movies and feel like you are at a movie theater. Before I purchased this system, I called the Polk customer service to ask about the wifi range for the rear speakers and they informed me that 15-foot max is recommended which almost deterred me from buying it but I took a chance. The 15 ft recommended range is totally incorrect because I have a distance of exactly 23.5 feet from the sound bar to the rear speakers and works flawlessly without any pops, crackles or any other interference whatsoever. This is a fantastic system in every way possible and Polk has done a remarkable job here. I have 2 suggestions to Polk audio: 1. Retest the wifi range and ADVERTISE it!! My room is only so long to test but again, my system is flawless at 23.5 ft. and please educate the customer service on the new recommended range. 2. I can live with the black rear speakers but the rest of my family can’t and prefers white on the walls. ( as you can see from the pics I won that battle) It would be great if you could make just the REARS in white as an option. This system is a strong BUY IMO!!! Thanks for reading..

Before I purchased this system, I called the Polk customer service to ask about the wifi range for the rear speakers and they informed me that 15-foot max is recommended which almost deterred me from buying it but I took a chance. The 15 ft recommended range is totally incorrect because I have a distance of exactly 23.5 feet from the sound bar to the rear speakers and works flawlessly without any pops, crackles or any other interference whatsoever. This is a fantastic system in every way possible and Polk has done a remarkable job here. I have 2 suggestions to Polk audio: 1. Retest the wifi range and ADVERTISE it!! My room is only so long to test but again, my system is flawless at 23.5 ft. and please educate the customer service on the new recommended range. 2. I can live with the black rear speakers but the rest of my family can’t and prefers white on the walls. ( as you can see from the pics I won that battle) It would be great if you could make just the REARS in white as an option. This system is a strong BUY IMO!!! Thanks for reading..

    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 Amazon 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.

    I had purchased a Samsung sound bar for my Samsung TV a few years ago. It worked well for the first year or so but recently wouldn’t respond and kept reverting to TV sound. I did a lot of research and decided on the Polk system and I can’t believe the difference. My old sound bar never has this level of sound and I can finally hear the dialogue! I have always had problems with background noise when watching tv shows and movies, but this system was well worth the money. I had it set up in just a few minutes and I love that the rear speakers are wireless and automatically connected to the soundbar when was turned on. I am so happy with the purchase and would definitely recommend it if you are looking for a tv surround sound system.

    Update 3 months later - removed 1 star as the system frequently doesn’t turn on or respond when I turn on the tv. I am having to unplug the soundbar and subwoofer every time I want to watch tv, which is mildly annoying. Also now I see it’s $200 less with a 20% discount, which makes me feel I paid too much when I bought it.

    I love it. Sound quality is great, setup is easy. The Bluetooth to your phone is awesome. If it loses connection to a speaker it is easy as pushing a button on the sound bar and each speaker.

    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.

    An issue with Subwoofer dead on arrival was resolved by Customer Service. The product has great sound for the price, a very good alternative to expensive soundbars.

    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.
