    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.

  • @michaelwright1602
    @michaelwright1602 2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    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.

    I just bought this model from my co-worker today for $30 and in brand new condition. He gets lot of stuff from his son due to him working at an electronics store and getting discounts. I'm loving it and when I play BF2042 it's amazing.

    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.

  • @pateegutee7960
    @pateegutee7960 ปีที่แล้ว

    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?

  • @bruhboon3571

  • @Ducknell

  • @fastfordman1965
    @fastfordman1965 3 ปีที่แล้ว +7

    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.

    @Sweetaccord 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    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. 😏

  • @hellstrings2379
    @hellstrings2379 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    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.
