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. My boyfriend would love this probably more than i would and i love him. Hes tried to convince me to hook up some old speakers for surround sound but i never let him because i hate cords and unfortunelty weve never had the priviledge of being able to afford a system like this one. Its his birthday this month and i would love nothing more than tomsurprise him with this amazing gift. Thanks for the opportunity!

  7. i have never own a surround sound system for my tv because its to expensive for me with a low income to afford,i wanted too enhance my gaming and movie experience

  8. I love hosting family movie night at my house for my sister+ parents. Unfortunately I won’t be able to afford a surround sound system for a very very long time. Winning this would improve family movie night 10 fold!

  9. My audio mission is to be able to play music for our dance parties that sounds like we’re at a great concert in our living room!

  11. I would want this because my family is full of movie buffs and we’re missing good sound quality!

  12. I’m an avid Tour de France fan and would love to watch this sport this summer with enhanced sound! It would make it feel like I was actually there!

  13. My boyfriend and I do not have a surround sound , we are AVID Horror Movie/TV fans and gamers. I am going to be completely honest here, I want this so I can scare the life out of him a few times with that sweet bass!

  15. i love watching shows like The Voice or AGT & this sound system would make everything sound so much better.

  17. My girlfriends and I have very demanding careers, families and high expectations of ourselves, but once every 3 months, we gather at my home for a girls night in; this includes binge watching movies or TV shows we all love, drinking lots of wine, eating amazing food and de-stressing and decompressing from our life’s daily pressures (we also chat and talk about what obstacles we encounter in our lives and work – support one another). I would love to win the Polk Audio system to enhance my current system at home which is quite ancient by technology standards; for our sleepovers it would be amazing to our binge watching experience. Our next weekend, we have Game of Thrones on our list to watch (start to finish), followed by The 100 before it airs again in April. Thanks!

  18. I feel that it would be unique to hear the impact of a sound system such as this one on older movies, ie
    classics and thrillers. It would bring the movie ” to life”
    Perhaps mirroring the acoustics in a theatre. Also, a huge impact on shows with live music such as
    orchestras.
    And of course, sporting events!

    I think that it would allow the viewer to feel as though they were actually there in the moment.

  21. I want to be able to give my 10 month old little guy the best tv and movie experiences he could have and this system would be great to show him what great sound is like

  23. My couch and my TV have to be at opposite ends of the room due to space problems, so I’d love to be able to hear the audio well without blasting up the volume for everyone else in the house to hear.

  24. I like to listen to music and listen to documentary so to have an audio system for my TV would be perfect since I do not have a surround sound system. Thank you

  27. I want to have better audio than the built-in tv speakers for everything from movies to music. Thanks for this contest

  28. I’d love to set up the Polk MagniFi MAX for the Super Bowl. It would improve the experience by helping immerse me in the game.

  29. The movie Star Wars Episode 1 and its soundtrack – Main Title (John William – London Symphony Orchestra) definitely is my first choice of playing on the Polk MagniFi Max home system. The soundtrack was recorded with 51. Dolby and Surround Sound technology and its sound frequency covers from very low to very high sound spectrum. With a superior sound system, listening to the London Symphony Orchestra version will make me feel like being at the real theater. Surround Sound definitely creates a dramatic effects for scenes of spaceship battles (firings from every dimensions of space), the unique breath and voice signatures of Darth Vader. I have the original Star Wars Bluray disk, can’t wait to try it out on the audio system.

  31. Seth MacFarlane’s space series, The Orville, would be fun with a great Polk soundbar. Hear that Quantum Drive and other space sounds in action.

  32. I would love to have the MagniFi MAX surround sound experience while watching the Super Bowl with my family and friends.

  33. I would say that for my house, all of the comic book super heroes movies would be the ones to benefit on surround sound, mostly because that is what is being played the most often…..

  34. My mission is to stay current with ground breaking advancement that make the audio experience that much more immersive.

  37. I’ve never owned an audio system for my tv, but I’ve experienced them at my friends’ places and it always blows me away! My audio mission is to create that amazing sound quality in my own home!

  38. My audio mission is to have sound from my movies like I’m really there! I want my guests to be blown away by the sense of being there.

  40. I currently don’t have a sound system and it would be nice to watch movies and listen to music too thank you

  42. Would be a beautiful experience to hear the amplified crisp sounds of hockey playing off of my television.

  44. I don’t have a soundbar and would love to listen to my Youtube music without having that awful tinny sound.
