Polk Audio SurroundBar

[dorokusai]

I posted a question over there about a 6th speaker (6.1) for rear imaging. Looking forward to your response.

Thanks!

I responded to your question in that dark, evil place I call home

In response to your original query....

I like the Surround Bar. It achieves the goal of Surround Sound but I've found that it will vary with the media involved and most importantly, the levels that are set for your surrounds. The surround channels in my HT are always run hot because I prefer it that way and this is where the SBar is best IMO. The surround channels are created by use of a vintage Polk idea called SDA.

You can find out more on SDA at the homepage forum but if you ever get a chance to hear a vintage Polk SDA rig, you're in for a real treat in regards to soundstage presentation. It's more obvious in the full size versions.

There are tweaks on the SBar idea well under way and the future looks even brighter for the single source solution.

For what it is it seems a little pricey to me but all these "bars" are that way. When I set up in my master bedroom I will just run 2.1

Well at least nobody said that the speaker bar was "danceable"
