Refurbished polk magnifi max ax is what I went for in that range. Shows up Monday
Avoid the Core 300. Had it, would not stay connected to any of the surrounds and required constant rebinding. Check around, others have the same issue. For an expensive premium soundbar, it uses the cheapest, USB dongle technology to connect. I do have a soundbar (Polk Magnifi Max AX), but moved that to the bedroom. Nothing can come close to an actual AVR setup, so that's in the living room. If you aren't concerned about the look or setup, go with an actual home theater.
I second this. He was actually the one that swayed me to my recent purchase of the Polk Magnifi.
Was looking at the plus myself, but no sub, and no rears for 1000, I couldn't get there. Went Polk magnifi for 600 instead. That ambeo max looks insane tho.
Best value, Polk magnifi max ax.
Get a Polk magnifi max ax instead. Cheaper, better value, great sound.
If you want both, Polk Magnifi Max AX would be an excellent option
Es correcto con algo de marketing mucha gente se enteraría de la marca, digo salvo por los videos que tienen en YouTube seria mas conocido y la gente de verdad conocería mas respecto a la marca, por que como mencionas las marcas Sonos, **Samsung**, **Bose**, **Sony**, se encuentran por todas partes en estanterías como en anuncios publicitarios, además que existe mucho fanboy que defiende a esas marcas sin argumentos validos por ende siempre recomiendan esos productos sin ser objetivos al momento de criticar. Por otro lado me sigue sorprendiendo que esta barra *magnifi max ax* que salió casi 3 años atrás tenga mucho mejor rendimiento que barras que han salido este mismo año. Nuevamente reitero para mi las marcas que no decepcionan y ofrecen calidad por lo que se esta pagando **Polk** ♥️ y **Harman/Kardon ♥️** >*"Beautiful Sound"* *Harman/Kardon Slogan ⬆️*
Not enough people mention the Polk Magni Fi Max AX. Its $900 and by far has the best subwoofer Ive heard on a soundbar, surrounds are also fantastic. From the choices you listed I'd choose it over any of those.
I have the Polk Audio Magnifi MAX AX and it sounds awesome.
I've been very happy with my Polk Audio Magnifi MAX AX
I have the Polk Audio Magnifi MAX AX connected to my B8 and am extremely happy
Buy the Polk Audio Magnifi Max AX
I concur. Big fan of Polk.
It definitely is possible to get some Atmos “feel” out of a standalone soundbar OP, the JBL is great for 5.1 but it down mixes Atmos into stereo - you’re looking for a 3 digit number like 3.1.2 to signify true Atmos. I’d recommend Samsung Q600F (or a D if it’s significantly cheaper, the D is last years model - only real difference is sub size) or if you want something different a [Polk Magnifi Max AX](https://www.polkaudio.com/en-us/product/outlet/refurbished/magnifi-max-ax/300542-refurbished.html) which you can pick up for under $400 with the discount code at top of the page.
Yup. The Samsung is 3.1.2 I believe, the Polk is 5.1.2. You’d need rear speakers for true 5.1 surround - but both of these will sound great in your apartment without them.
