Polk Surround Sound System

Excellent companion for Polk Sound ************System**********

As a surround sound system

This sub replaced an 8" unit included in an early Polk home surround system (RM6750) in a smallish basement space. The older unit had developed a hum and lacked smooth low-end presence. The HTS 10 is intuitively responsive to inputs - accurate for jazz bass, stunning when called for in movies. Unfussy placement due to down-firing port; I have it in an open-backed cabinet. Very compatible with Signature S15s that replaced the tiny RM6750 fronts speakers, which moved to front presence.

Only used and listened to for a week. Using them as surround speakers, they like the other Polk speakers, construction is substantial, sound is clear

I recently retired my 25 year old polk surround bar. I never really liked how it sounded when listening to music. For theater surround it was great however. I do have a PSW 111 sub woofer and was trying to decide between the ES15 and ES10 as front speakers. I went with the ES10 and they sound great with the sub woofer. I set my crossover in the receiver to 90hz so i don't need the low base coming from them. The sound stage is excellent as is the imaging.

I love this subwoofer I added to my surround sound and I looked at some other ones but this one sounded better than the Polk and the other ones and was cheaper

I recently acquired one of the new Polk MagniFi Max AX high-performance home theater sound bar systems and am very satisfied with the overall immersive audio experience. My family room HDTV has to be in a corner due to a number of reasons, so rear speaker surrounds were not really a viable option because of placement limitations. Or so I thought. Anyway, after working with Polk support, I acquired a pair of the SR2 surround speakers. Connection to the ManiFi AX system was very quick and easy if you follow the included quick instruction guide. Each speaker only requires the supplied power adapter; they do not require to be hardwired to a subwoofer similar to most other surrounds. Each speaker has its own amplifier incorporated in the housing. And each speaker will “wirelessly” connect to the ManiFi AX. After installation, the ManiFi AX (it is connected to internet) displayed it was updating the surround speakers and not to disconnect power. I did have one self induced problem that was quickly resolved. There is a LEFT and RIGHT speaker and I had them reversed. They will work reversed, but the surround audio experience will not be optimal. Took less than a minute to switch their locations. Once setup I began to test out the overall effect by streaming both Dolby 5.1 along with Dolby Atmos movies. As mentioned before, my room setup is not optimal (see pictures) but sufficient to have the rear channels provide their surround effects versus not having them at all. These get me into the surround sound ballpark, just not front row seats depending on where I am sitting. Overall, I couldn’t be happier with the completed system. Adding the SR2’s basically transforms my Polk MagniFi Max AX into the MagniFi Max AX SR. And in hindsight, it would have been more cost effective to just purchase the latter vs. adding the surrounds to the former.

Integral piece of surround sound system.

The full surround sound system was a total surprise!

Integrated the Arc into a surround sound system and works very well indeed.
