Review: No hype, just great performance - After 8 months of using this system - No changes to my initial review. Has worked smoothly so far. No issues with connectivity, the system has been super stable. Polk hasn't issued any firmware updates in this period, so no new features to talk about. The Polk Magnifi Max AX SR (2023) system is a great performing system that gets overshadowed by the more hyped up systems like those from Samsung, Sonos, etc. I tested this Polk system against Samsung's flagship Q990D and couldn't notice the difference when it came to Dolby 5.1 with or without Atmos. Indeed, some aspects of the Polk system were better than Samsung's. The best aspects of the Polk system are: 1. Very easy setup. No app or login to the vendor site needed. Just plug in the soundbar, connect to TV with HDMI, and plug in the subwoofer and surround speakers. It just works. You may use the Google Home app to connect the soundbar to Wifi, but that's optional. 2. Easy to use remote with a substantial text display on the soundbar visible across the room. This is as simple as it gets. You may think that the lack of an app to fiddle with a lot of features is a drawback, but the system has the right controls on the remote and the minimalist design actually works well. 3. It automatically responds to your TV remote. No programming of any kind needed. 4. Provides 3 HDMI input ports, a rarity in this price range. With the right setting on the connected devices (I have a Fire Stick connected), the soundbar automatically switches to the right input when the corresponding device is activated. The TV is also turned on automatically via the HDMI CEC. A must-have feature if you have more than one device connected to the soundbar. 5. Dolby 5.1 with or without Atmos sounds very good. The subwoofer is substantial (10 inch, another rarity in this price range), and the surround speakers, though small, are loud and make a big difference. Compared to the Samsung flagship Q990D on the same scenes, I couldn't tell any difference. The thing to note though is that the sound quality varies as per the source material. You need premium subscriptions with Netflix, desertcart, Paramount+, etc to get Dolby Atmos, and movies from Max often sound subdued compared to these other streamers. Best performance will be with Blurays presenting uncompressed multichannel sound tracks. 6. The All-Stereo mode allows you to play music on all speakers, which is a great feature. Adds life to stereo 2.0 sources. I didn't see this in the Samsung Q990D. 7. The Polk system also allows you to balance the volume between the right and left surrounds. This is a very useful feature that lets you position the surround speakers wherever there is room in your setting and just adjust the balance to suit your seating position. On the flip side, I cannot tell whether the two upfiring speakers make any difference. Not just in this Polk system, but also in the Samsung flagship, which as up and side firing speakers. The sound always seem to come from the soundbar, not magically above your head. Perhaps this depends on your setup. The surrounds do make a big difference. Overall, the Polk Magnifi Max AX SR performs well and a great value for money especially if it's on sale. It's solidly built, easy to set up and use, and makes a difference in your movie experience. There is no hype or cult behind Polk, but it performs as good as more expensive systems at less than half the price. For those curious about the power output, there is no specs available from Polk. We can only deduce this from the input power consumption. The soundbar is rated at 120W, the subwoofer at 128W, and surround speakers at 18W each. Compare this to Samsung Q990D/F. Main soundbar input power is 41W, Subwoofer: 48W and Surround speakers: 19W each.
Review: Fantastic audio even in large family rooms 25 by 30 feet, exceptional product! - In a word "Wow". I have tried several sound bars in recent years and none were acceptable. I am used to using a 750watt 5.2 Receiver with full tower speakers with 3x 5" full range drivers and 1" tweeters. Recently we got some flooring done to our 20 year old floors and we wanted space to look cleaner. I did research and Enter the Polk MagniFi mini, one of my old audiophile buddies introduced me to Polk back in the day and reviews are on point with this setup as punching above its weight class. Dialogue particularly is very easy to understand without having to crank the system up and it fills up my family room with sound. We have vaulted ceiling which is not ideal for how speakers like this reproduce surround sound however the quality is remarkably good. Everyone in my family felt audio across many modes of content was exceptional, this included vinyl records, regular TV, Dolby Atmos, and others. Given this unit is rated for mid size or small rooms I was pleasantly surprised no need to go with a more expensive tier to get rich audio. Dont expect the base to be as good as a full size woofer but for what this is it just sounds great for all around audio at stock settings and makes TV watching and movies a pleasure. Our family room opens to kitchen and even 40 feet away from speaker audio is clear and speach is easy to understand. On my tower setup in stereo I was having to use subtitles or crank the audio up very high without using a center channel. And while for music those have slightly better range the balance of this system and ability to handle Atmos, DTS, and Dolby Digital cleanly and accurately outweighs the need for space taking towers. If you use full towers with center and woofer obviously that would win over this but we are talking about a compact design taking very little space that simply sounds fantastic. We are enjoying watching the Olympics hearing details like ice crackling, clear voices, and symphonic music. I see why this setup won awards and is rated so well! Value is exceptional, connectivity great, and I love that it has the 3.5 jack which we use for our record player to hookup. I also like that the display turns off quickly after adjusting volume so it doesnt distract you with LED lights. This is a great setup for anyone that wants great sound on a budget and you can hook up wireless rears if you want greater rear surround effects. Remote is simple but not needed as when you use ARC HDMI input you adjust volume with TV remote. We found auto setting works perfect for natural sound so functionality is just plain easy and out of box nothing else has compared with this setup to date.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Packs a Punch for its Size!
*by K***A on January 5, 2026*

As a retiring couple in the midst of downsizing, we found this sound bar system to be ideal for our smaller home. We've had plenty of large sound systems for our previous televisions (and even a movie room), but this convenient system lacks a punch for its small footprint. Set up was quick and easy, system fully adjustable, and enough bass for even the loudest action scenes! Also very reasonably priced among its competitors.
