I recently upgraded my home theater to 7.1 and went with a great in wall installation for the rear 4. Unfortunately, my wife liked the clutter reduction and "requested" that I ditch the huge tower LCR speakers as well... I investigated several soundbar solutions to add to my existing setup and finding unpowered LCR bars was not easy until I found the Polk SurroundBar 50. I bought mine through the Amazon Warehouse and it arrived in a truly shredded box, but the contents were in perfect order. from Amazon.com I've got this SurroundBar 50 hooked up to a Sony mid-range receiver, a Polk PSW111 sub, and a Sharp 52" LCD in a cathedral ceiling, trapezoidal room. Basically this was the only thing that would work. from Amazon.com The Surround 50 bar by Polk provides little or no surround sound. I installed it with my Pioneer Elite Receiver and a Polk sub-woofer. from Amazon.com Never thought I would like a single speaker surround solution. Unfortunately the wife's opinions on interior design made finding one a necessity. from Amazon.com Easy installation. Nice sound. I haven't tried it on many DVD's yet but so far I am satisfied with the quality of the sound. from Amazon.com Even though it is silver, it still blends in pretty well with my black TV. The wires that come with this speaker are extremely thin and I had problems with them cutting out on my receiver until I installed banana plugs. The sound is pretty good as well. Not quite as good as a full 5.1 system, but a lot better than I expected one speaker to be. from Amazon.com Sound is GREAT! It is hooked to a Onyko SR806 with a Polk Pro 50 subwoofer. from Amazon.com As a 1 speaker box solution I think it works well. I suggest getting a subwoofer to go with it. It has good Polk quality. from Amazon.com I bought this to replace a panasonic HTIB that was a couple of years old. I wanted to get a more compact system with great sound for a small loft. The unit is a solid aluminum case that looks and feels like a quality unit should and is quite a showpiece in my entertainment center. from Amazon.com Buyer beware that you absolutely positively need a receiver for this product. I think the language in the description could have made that a little bit more clear. After all, it is a sound bar. If you have a receiver, then pick this item up! from Amazon.com
