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. My audio mission is to get the best sound possible with the least amount of fuss (for just the right amount of money, of course).

  2. Even cooking shows would sound good with these… J/K Intense action films are where these will shine, I want mine!

  3. I love watching documentaries like the David Attenborough ones and MagniFi MAX surround sound experience would certainly make them ever better. It would be even more like I am right there with him.

  4. I would use this for watching Netflix. Because 8″ ported wireless subwoofer delivers heart-pounding bass to take movies to another level of realism.

  5. It would be great to watch Game of Thrones with the Polk sound bar system – it would be awesome to hear the theme song!

    • Just want to add that I love musicals and the musical dynamics would be amazing with Polk MagniFi MAX home theatre sound bar system.

  6. I would love to own this system to enjoy my Outlander t.v. show more. The voice adjust technology would allow me to hear every word separate from the soundtrack. I would enjoy my show as if I were hearing it in person!

  8. I’d love this audio system for the final season on Game of Thrones! Being absolutely surrounded by the insanity would be phenomenal! Hearing the swoop of the dragon’s wings, feeling the rumble of marching and walls falling would be great. I want to make my house shake! I’ve been waiting almost two years for this upcoming season, winning this system would make it so awesome! TV sound wouldn’t do it justice! I’d love to bring the theatre experience to my living room.

  9. I’d replace my very old stereo system with this. The Polk speakers are far more compact, and would probably deliver better sound.

  10. This would be great to watch the Super Bowl with. Or even to watch The Leafs or movies. Surround sound is key

  11. I would love to tie this into my existing Polk whole home system. This would be the final touch to complete my movie and sports watching experience

  12. I am still building my own A/V system so this MagniFi MAX surround sound experience by Polk would go a long way to making ALL the movies I watch more enjoyable.

  13. We are a sports family and I think we would benefit by having this sound bar so we can listen to hockey and football games – as if we were there!

  14. I ama huge Str Wars fan so any one of the movies would be fantastic to watch with this amazing sound system.

  15. I want to get the best sound possible for all the movies and live sports that I watch with minimal space. The MagniFi MAX surround sound experience should fit the bill nicely!

  16. Our audio mission is to make an awesome hockey night in Canada at home! We love hockey season and listening to the game as the skates carve the ice would be great! The speakers would enhance the experience!

  17. I want to experience the full experience of a Toronto Maple Leafs game with this sound bar. I had the opportunity to attend games at what was Maple Leaf Gardens in my younger days and now I want to feel like I am truly at a game, in my home.

  18. I’m a HUGE fan of sports and of course being from Vancouver, I have to show my love to the Vancouver Canucks! It’ll be amazing to experience the sound quality while watching my favorite sports, Basketball and Hockey. Another thing I will use the home theatre is for my Nephew, he loves the Baby Shark song and he can’t get enough of it. Baby shark doo doo doo doo!
