<h1> Polk&#8217 s latest Dolby Atmos soundbars make for compelling Sonos Arc alternatives </h1> By Simon Cohen September 6, 2022 Share Polk Audio has two new Dolby Atmos soundbars models that are aimed squarely at folks who might be considering the excellent $899 Sonos Arc. The MagniFi Max AX ($799) and MagniFi Max AX SR ($899) are both equipped with wireless subwoofers and 11-speaker arrays, including dedicated up-firing drivers, but the MagniFi Max AX SR provides an extra level of surround sound immersion by including a set of wireless surround speakers.

Both models can also work with DTS:X and will be available in October from polkaudio.com and select retailers. Polk Audio Polk Audio says that the key to the MagniFi Max AX&#8217;s performance, beyond all of those drivers, is the company&#8217;s Stereo Dimensional Array (SDA) technology.

Now in its fourth generation, Polk claims that SDA delivers an ultra-wide soundstage by eliminating interaural crosstalk. My experience with Polk&#8217;s previous SDA-equipped models like the MagniFi Mini AX suggests that&#8217;s not just marketing-speak &#8212; they do provide a very convincing wide sound field.

Polk Audio We&#8217;ll have to wait until we get a unit in for testing to see how well it performs, but in the meantime, the Max AX&#8217;s specs look very promising, especially its connections. Most soundbars suffer from a lack of HDMI inputs, but the MagniFi Max AX has three, plus the now-standard HDMI ARC/eARC output. Those inputs can passthrough 4K video and (along with the HDMI inputs on your TV) mean that the Max AX can effectively replace a home theater receiver, making it even more attractive to folks looking for a single speaker system to run all of their A/V needs.

From a music-streaming point of view, the Max AX comes with Bluetooth and Wi-Fi, with support for Apple AirPlay 2, Chromecast built-in, Spotify Connect, and is compatible with any Amazon Alexa or Google Assistant device. If you own other MagniFi AX products, they can be combined to form a multi-room sound system. If you have a Roku TV, the system can be controlled via your on-screen menus thanks to the Max AX&#8217;s Roku TV-ready certification.
