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’ve been using the built-in speakers on my TV to watch my shows. The Polk speakers would make everything sound so much more life-like.

  2. I would love to have the Polk MagniFi MAX home theatre sound bar system to better enjoy and hear the TV programs we watch including concerts, CFL football games, comedy, movies, etc. We are starting to experience some hearing impairment so this would be the ultimate!!!

  3. I would benefit from the MagniFi MAX surround sound experience when I am watching the NHL Jets. I would get the in arena experience without the in arena prices!!

  4. My son os now at the age where I’m ready to share the great movie Pulp Fiction with him, and great sound will make it that more enjoyable.

  5. I would really love to step up the audio game in my bedroom….some days you just want to lay in bed and enjoy a movie to it’s fullest

  6. I’d love to hear the nice crisp sounds of Harry Potter using this soundbar. Also, I can use it to listen to my Spotify playlists.

  7. I would love to watch all the Super Hero movies with my kids on this. Our current system isn’t very good… and sitting on the floor. My mission would be to have a clean setup that sounds great, and looks great… not on the floor..

  8. I am stuck using just my TV speakers and there are streaming services like Netflix where I have to crank up my Volume just to hear what people are saying. It is very annoying. I think an audio system would improve this greatly.

  9. I think the Super Bowl would benefit from the MagniFi MAX surround sound experience because it would enhance the sound and overall entertainment making it as if I was there in person!! Thanks for the generous contest & chance to win.

  10. Would use the system with an older HD television that doesn’t have great speakers. Would be good for video games, movies and sports.

  11. I have an elderly father who needs to alternate between headphones and cranking up the volume on the small speakers on his television depending on what type of show he’s watching. He enjoys watching football, but when he cranks the tv volume the speakers are beginning to crackle. Just think it would be a great surprise for him and maybe give the poor little speakers on his tv a break. Thanks!

  12. I have hearing loss so a better sound system in my house would be crucial for me to be able to hear my media!

  13. My husband loves to watch sports and I love watching the entertainment shows like American Idol. It would be so nice to have better sound than that which comes through the TV speakers.

  14. During the Superbowl, I would benefit from the MagniFi MAX surround sound experience. I will have several people over to watch the game in my basement. My TV speaker isn’t very strong.

  15. As far as I’m concerned, this sound system from Polk with the rich and immersive sound quality would enhance everything from TV to radio, from concerts to movies. Thanks so much for the chance to win this. 🙂

  16. I love watching hockey games and having the Polk Audio MagniFi MAX SR Sound Bar System would make the experience incredible.

  17. Wow, I would LOVE to experience “Gravity” with this amazing sound system :)…..but honestly, any of my BluRays would sound incredible I know 🙂 Thank you , Best Buy….another awesome contest 🙂

  18. I love musicals! Last weekend I watched Phantom of the Opera for the umpteenth time and I also watched West Side Story for the first time. I would love to hear them with a MagniFi MAX surround sound system – it would be an amazing experience.

  19. The Polk MagniFi Max system provides bigger, more dynamic sound than traditional sound bars and is optimized to make movies, TV, sports and music come alive for all the tv shows that we watch. My husband & I watch almost everything on tv…even cooking shows!!

  20. I recently bought a flat screen tv and have noticed that the sound is not as good as the picture is – you have to turn it up louder to hear it across the room but if you turn it up to loud it “rattles” the speaker. I would like to listen to movies without that rattle – even tv when the kids are in the room is hard as you have to turn it up a little to hear it over the hand held games but then it rattles.

  21. I am moving in with my girlfriend and would like to surprise her with this as a gift so we can watch all our movies and sporting events with the best sound quality possible. We love hosting movie nights or big superbowl games or boxing matches etc so it would be great to get the full experience.

  22. I need to replace my old sound system in anticipation for Bohemian Rhapsody getting released on BluRay or Netflix. I have already researched premium sound systems and this Polk dream system is on my short list. I think EVERYTHING will sound better with POLK Audio–> concerts + movies (like they were supposed to sound) + Leaf games & the Superbowl (alas not this year’s). Hey maybe even the news will sound better. Smile & thank you.

  23. We love classic rock and it would be phenomenal to listen to it with the best sound system out there to really hear the music as it was meant

  24. The Bourne film series would sound more action packed and would benefit from the MagniFi MAX surround sound experience!
