After remodeling our family room, I did want to go through the hassle of re-running wires of our original home theater system. I know Polk Audio has a good reputation, so I decided to give this system a try. I’m glad I did. The sound bar sounds great, and subwoofer puts out wonderful bass.
I LOVE the fact that I can put the sub behind our couch. The subwoofer had no problems connecting even with it being about 20 feet away from soundbar and behind the couch. Have no problems with it cutting out.
Easy set up.

If you want bass then this soundbar will give you that plus the great atmos sound for the price compared to high end soundbars out there. Buy it! Will not be disappointed. Plus and rears to make it near perfect.

This system works great in our 20 X 30 family room. The 10″ Sub delivers excellent, clear bass. The sound bar is crisp and clear. It fits nicely over our 50″ TV. We are looking at getting the surround speakers in the future.

Polk has been around for a while and has delivered some amazing speakers and other audio hardware in the past. Let’s see how their new high-end sound bar, the MagniFi Max AX, turned out.
The first thing you should know is that it’s big. And heavy. The sub-woofer with its 10″ speaker is massive. Almost twice the size of my previous one (which was already quite big). The bar itself fits under our 70″ 4K TV, with barely any space left on each side. This is really something to take into account. You can opt for a wall mount (a drill guide is included as well as rubber spacers) if you don’t have a TV stand. Since the sub is wireless, make sure to have 2 power outlets available before setting everything up.
The installation and setup is easy and all the cables you should need to get things up and running are included, alongside an easy to follow visual guidei. Polk Audio recommends using ARC or eARC to connect the sound bar to the TV using the HDMI cable that is provided. I went down this road as our TV supports it. And all in all, it didn’t take much longer than 15 minutes to get everything going. ARC support is one of the most interesting features of this sound bar, with advantages such as reducing the amount of remotes you will require to control your media center.
Once the TV was connected, I switched to the XBox Series X and well, I was quite literally blown away by the sound. The MagniFi Max has a deep, booming bass. The treble is crisp and the voices are clean and clear. Frankly, I wasn’t expecting that. If you activate Dolby Atmos (your TV or attached device needs to support it), you’re in for a treat. The sound just hits you from everywhere and you truly feel immersed. You can tell that the sound bar is equipped with speakers that cover all frequencies (11 in total). The sound can be adjusted to your liking using the remote and the different presets or the EQ. Note that Apple AirPlay is supported which is good news for iPhone/Mac users.
Of course, it wouldn’t be a modern sound bar if it only supported HDMI. You can add 3 more regular HDMI devices, an optical/SPDIF port (which I use when listening to music) and a USB port are also present. Bluetooth and the good old audio jack are also available. As mentioned before there is support for Dolby Atmos and DTS:X. This allows for even better sound in movies and games.
The sound quality in movies is excellent, the sound comes from every corner of the room. It really adds to the overall immersion.
The remote is minimalistic, but works well. I don’t really like the feel of the buttons but that might just be me. It feels a bit “cheap”.
To be honest, this might be the best sound bar I have ever owned. And I’ve had quite a few from major brands. Not one of them can beat the MagniFi Max in terms of functionality, ease of use or sound quality. Not to mention how versatile it is thanks to all the available connection options.
The bottom line: As an audiophile, a cinephile and gamer, I can only recommend this sound bar, you just can’t go wrong with it. It’s one of the best in its class. Great Product, Polk Audio!

Great buy, amazing sound. I had to purchase the added surround sound speakers, and it really came together.
