Reviews of the Polk Audio SurroundBar 50 (black)
-
CNET Review
The Good: Virtual surround speaker housed in 51-inch-wide extruded aluminum cabinet; proprietary SDA technology produces room-filling spacious sound from the single-speaker design; nine 3.5-inch midrange drivers, three 0.75-inch silk dome tweeters; shelf stand, wall mount bracket, and color-coded 15-foot speaker wire is also included.
The Bad: Somewhat expensive; you'll also need an AV receiver and a subwoofer.
The Bottom Line: The Polk SurroundBar 50 sounds great with music and movies, making it a worthwhile improvement over the company's earlier single-speaker surround offering.
