Polk are on a mission to make amazing sound accessible to everyone. And after decades of innovative engineering and beautiful design, the home audio manufacturer has made great strides in reaching this goal. Take a look at their product offering on bestbuy.ca. You’ll see that sound is their single focus. And they know what people want in their speaker systems: Simple setup, sleek looks, and, above all, rich and immersive sound quality. Read on to learn more about how the Polk MagniFi MAX SR true 5.1 home theatre sound bar system makes the perfect companion for your home theatre, and then enter this contest for a chance of winning one of your very own.

Polk make it look easy

If you’ve been avoiding installing a surround sound system because you don’t want to deal with the tedious installation, or you just don’t see the benefit of adding more speakers to your current TV setup, Polk have just the system to change your mind.

Installing a surround sound system in your living room used to be such a pain. You needed to be handy with a hammer and few other tools to tackle the job. You see, speaker wires for rear surround speakers (the speakers you place to the left and right of your listening position on the sofa or armchair) would usually run across an open floor space and present a tripping hazard, not to mention how they would diminish the carefully planned aesthetic of the room. And concealing speaker wire was no simple feat. It involved snaking cables through the walls, installing raceways, applying adhesive speaker wire, covering them up with rugs, tucking them between your carpet and baseboard, and even painting them. Now might be a good time to mention you’re allergic to DIY.

The sound bar boasts a unique mounting system to keep it level and centered under your TV

MagniFi MAX SR eliminates the need for all that backbreaking labour. This system includes a MAX sound bar that fits nicely under almost any TV, wireless subwoofer that can be placed almost anywhere in the room, and two SR1 wireless rear surround speakers. The operative word, “wireless”, could be the game changer some of you were waiting for. It renders speaker wire obsolete and instantly offers a cleaner look and less complicated setup.

Included HDMI and optical cables make installation quick and easy (no fumbling around with daunting receivers), while a clever mounting system makes it easy to attach your sound bar and rear speakers to the wall. The rear surround speakers can also be placed on two side tables on either end of your sofa. Plug the rear speakers and subwoofer in, and they’ll automatically sync with the sound bar. It’s that easy. Wi-Fi, Chromecast, and Bluetooth support make streaming music from your favorite apps a cinch too, and you can even connect your Google Home speaker, so you can control what you’re listening to with your voice.

Place your wireless rear speakers on side tables or mount them to the wall

Expect an amazing soundscape

Once set up, put MagniFi MAX SR to the test with something that really shows off its potential, like an opera, symphony orchestra, or live rock concert performance. The sound bar’s 7-driver array is complemented perfectly by the booming bass of the powerful 8” ported subwoofer, while two rear speakers help deliver a truly dynamic surround sound experience. Besides music, this advanced 400-watt, 5.1 channel system is optimized for movies, TV, and sports, and packs multiple technologies that work together to deliver sheer delight to your ears.

Patented SDA digital surround technology creates an expansive, multi-dimensional audio experience to place you and your family at the epicenter of whatever’s happening on-screen, whether you’re watching a blazing car chase in a modern-day crime caper, the latest Attenborough-narrated wildlife documentary, or dying minutes of Sunday night football.

Or, if you’re craving a courtroom drama or other dialogue-driven story, Voice Adjust technology lets you customize the voice levels so you can hear every word of what’s happening. No more double takes of scenes with conversations you didn’t catch the first time around or annoying your partner with questions like, “what did she just say?”.

In conclusion, the MagniFi MAX SR is a powerful surround sound system that’s a cinch to install while delivering mind-blowing sound for all kinds of entertainment. If, like Polk, you’re ready to make amazing sound your mission, the MagniFi MAX SR will make it a simple mission to accomplish.

  1. I am just starting out moving out on my own – and it would be amazing to have this for my new set up and space!!

  2. This would really add to our weekly family movie night and make it feel more theatre like. We would watch all of our favourite Marvel movies.

  4. Would love to upgrade my audio so I could watch movies like Saving Private Ryan the way it was intended to be seen (and heard). Thank you Best Buy Canada for the chance.

  7. My TV sound seems like it is coming out of an old tomato can. Sound is a huge part of a movie and I think a quality sound bar like this would make watching movies a whole new experience.

  12. As you get older the sound quality is important. This would be a great gift for my husband who loves to watch television shows and I love to watch movies with him at home in our living room.
    Good luck to everyone!

  13. I have just recently been looking into sound bars as we don’t have any sound system in our living room. My husband would be delighted to be able to watch Super Bowl with some “real” sound. Thanks for the chance to win.

  14. I would love this prize pack to help me enjoy the extreme brilliance of Star Wars with my little cousin, not to mention the amazing minimalist look for the house.

  15. I always watch the Junos and I would love to win so I could hear the great music nominated and played during the Junos , just like I was there in the audience, with the MagniFi MAX surround sound experience .

  16. I need to watch the new avengers properly this time, with my TV with the last movie there was too much static and buzzing. Was pretty awful.

  21. My audio mission is to try and tune out my kids while they are “COMMUNICATING” with each other. By trying to listen to my music, playing video games or watching my favorite shows, but most of the time I feel like a way under payed referee. If we were to win the MagniFi MAX surround sound, we would play Halo: Combat Evolved because this is the only game I have a chance to beat them in and it would be enjoyable because we are not listening through the TV speakers anymore. ‍‍ 😉

  24. This would definitely simplify and improve the speaker set up in the main living and make watching movies that much better

  25. This MagniFi MAX surround sound system would greatly enhance my family’s movie watching experience – from the superhero flicks to the animated classics! Not to mention being fully immersed into all the live sports that I enjoy:)

  28. This would be great to make it easier to hear some shows that have low volume when people are speaking. My husband has a hard time hearing some shows and movies so he does not watch a lot of TV because of it or has it so loud that it bothers the rest of us. Surround sound would make it much easier for him to hear.

  29. I’d love this speaker setup to re-experience truly awesome film scores – Star Wars, Lord of the Rings, Indiana Jones.

  32. I would love to have this to watch Westworld. I also watch a lot of movies so it would be fantastic for them as well!

  33. My mission is to teach my kids that in this era of everything being watched on a small screen, and individually, that there is an unbelievable beauty in watching shows on big screen, with even bigger sound while enjoying the company of friends and family.

  34. I would love to win one for my home. My husband and I think it would be great to have for watching Game of Thrones!

  35. Just moved to an awesome new place with a way bigger great room area, so a better sound system would really complement it!

  36. I love having music playing in the house and being able to blast movies as well is amazing. Thanks for the chance.

  37. This whole set up would make my husband & I beyond happy! We love to binge watch movies…like The Lord of the Ring Trilogy….series like True Detective & Game Of Thrones.. would be an AWESOME upgrade!

  41. This would benefit my movie watching addiction. The sound bar will intensify the atmosphere as though I will be in the movie. What a surreal experience I would love to experience. Especially my favourite tv show House of Cards

  42. I want to make a community free movie viewing in the summer, up in the trees with a projector, free popcorn and pop included!

    If I win these speakers, it’ll be a sign to go ahead with it!

  43. I would love to upgrade to this sound system for my favourite movies, such as The Matrix, The Hobbit, Lord of the Rings, etc.

  44. My audio mission is to a system that can deliver great surround sound to my room and good bass. I need better sound as my TV speakers just dosn’t cut it! This would be great for sports and the superbowl

  45. There are so many things we watch that would benefit from this including the Super Bowl, our favourite sci-fi/superhero movies and the musicals my wife and daughter watch.

  46. I would love to take advantage of the stylish small size of these speakers for use in our living room, as well as the Voice Adjust Technology to help the wife with her reality shows. As for me, sci-fi movies would be great for the surround sound and subwoofer!

  47. My current ad-hoc surround setup is failing. The the center channel output rarely works, the subwoofer seems dead, and the rear channel speakers are low quality and tinny. I love watching big, cinematic movies where the sound is as much a part of the experience as the image. The Polk MagniFi MAX looks like it would be an excellent replacement for my current setup and really give me the theater experience I’m looking for.

  48. Sound and the quality is very important, especially as you get older. We find that we cannot really hear people in movies speaking clearly, putting the volume up, does not help. Music these days sounds very tinny. A good quality sound system would be the best gift we could ever receive, it would improve the quality of life for us as we age.
