the quality of human voice reproduction is not there
only three HDMI inputs
Max simply lacks precision in voices and the subwoofer is too inaccurate
it still lacked spatiality
a little extra sizzle on the high end
always used TVs growing up
it was quite a shock at first
the concaved buttons are a little difficult to press
no Blu-ray disc or VOD service will pose
isn t a virtual surround system

the comparison is almost unfair
don't want a subwoofer to be a distraction
home cinema system
The surround speakers require a mains connection
it isn't a universal remote
the bar is lacking bass on its center channel
Audio could also seem a bit diffused and unnatural
MAX SR reproduces a lot of compression and distortion
they still seem prone to collecting dust over time
the sound was so obscene

Polk Audio Magnifi MAX SR soundbar review

Polk Audio is the latest brand to add wireless rear speakers to a soundbar/subwoofer system, therefore offering a 5.1 solution to those not interested in the more traditional approach based around a separate amplifier, 5.1 speaker package and oodles of speaker cable. The system in question is the Magnifi MAX SR, available for around £600. It's the expanded version of Polk's 3.1-channel Magnifi MAX, itself a more serious proposition than the compact Magnifi Mini.
