Rated 5 out of 5 by from Excellent Value I've only owned my Magnifi Max AX for less than a week, so I can't speak to longevity. However, from a sound and quality standpoint - WOW. I recently upgraded to a 77" LG OLED TV, and like most TV's nowadays, the built in speakers leave a lot to be desired. I wanted a quality sound bar setup that wouldn't require satellite speakers to achieve the desired result. I tried a $150 LG soundbar and was thoroughly unimpressed. I went on to try a $280 Bose speaker and was underwhelmed. We have a mini Bose Bluetooth speaker from 10 years ago that sounds better than their current TV speaker. From there I tried a $280 Yamaha soundbar with integrated subwoofers and was again unimpressed. At that point I knew I'd have to spend a lot more money to get the sound I wanted. After a great deal of research I decided to gamble on this Polk model. I heard some great sounding systems in a big box store but all of those cost $1000+. The reviews of this Polk model convinced me to take a chance... and I'm very glad I did. From the moment I opened the box, I was impressed. The packaging is very thoughtful, and companies that put Polk's level of attention to detail in packaging, tend to produce quality products. The soundbar feels and appears high quality. The subwoofer, while simple in appearance, also gave a look and feel of quality. The remote (I'll always want a remote versus strict mobile app control like some other companies) provides all the control options I wanted (I appreciate quality sound but I'm far from being an audiophile). Setup was quick and easy. Plug in the soundbar, plug in the subwoofer and use a single HDMI Arc connection from the soundbar to the TV. Once I turned on the unit, I knew instantly that I finally made the correct purchase. The sound has a depth and richness that blew the $150 & $300 soundbars away. I don't have the satellite speakers for a point of reference. I may add them later for true surround sound, but the soundbar and subwoofer can more than stand on their own. I sampled music, TV shows and movies and there's an optimal setting for each that all hit their mark. Voices are clear, bass/low range sounds great and the up firing speakers proved to be more than a gimmick to imitate true surround sound. The night mode is another great touch that again proved to be more than a gimmick. The LCD readout on the soundbar itself is also great. When changing modes, adjusting volume, bass, etc... the display will readout level numbers. This is very helpful, especially since the volume control through my TV remote only displays a plus or minus on the TV when adjusting volume. Bottom line, you get the sound of a much higher priced soundbar in a sleek and quality package, with the ability to expand to true satellite if desired. This is my first Polk product but I'm now a fan. Worth every penny!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Amazing Soundbar After 3 years of using a Klipsh Cinema 600 that suddenly stopped working, I purchased the MagniFi Max AX and I just can't be any happier. Absolutely amazing sound, punchy bass and a good price. The Klipsh was good, but the Polk is definitely a step above in terms of clarity, power and punchy bass. I will definitely be looking at Polk first in my future audio needs.

Questions

My Polk Magnifi MAX AX (non sr) is blinking a white light and never booting up. I can not turn it on to do a firmware update. I received this as a gift and therefore have no warranty.

Even as a gift, if you are within the warranty period, we can still assist you with anything beyond troubleshooting and even without the warranty, we can present different options to you.

Can I use this sound bar if my television does not have either ARC or eARC? It does have HDMI.

Asked by: BigDenMD
Hello, If your TV does not have ARC or eARC we would recommend that you use it with the Optical input rather than regular HDMI as there will be no signal transfer from the TV to the sound bar via a regular HDMI port.

I have an AppleTv connected via hdmi 1 and the soundbar does not detect volume up/down or power on from the AppleTV. I tried unsuccessfully to have the soundbar learn from the AppleTV remote. CEC is turned on. Don’t know what to do next. 

Asked by: Steve 022
Hello, I recommend activating the HDMI CEC control feature on your television. Also, make sure to set the audio output on your TV to external. As a second option, you may want to connect your Apple TV to the television and use HDMI ARC to connect the TV to the soundbar. If you need further assistance, please feel free to get in touch with our Polk Support team by calling 800-377-7655.

Hi, my 65inch TV is in a corner of a large room. Is the soundbar designed to work as advertised even in the corner?  Ie: will the adjacent wall alter any listening dynamics?  Also what is optimal placing for subwoofer?  Many thanks. 

Asked by: Asklepios
Hello, the soundbar system will work where ever it is positioned. Just note that corners can result in weird audio phenomenon and is not the ideal placement for speakers in general. The below link will help with understanding room acoustics and speaker positioning which might assist you in determining the ideal positioning for your space and setup. https://www.audioholics.com/room-acoustics/listening-room-acoustics
