To recap
While there’s no object-based sound decoding, as a standalone large ‘bar with decent output and control, for a very fair price, the Polk has got a lot going for it - especially if you’re keen on Alexa integration for voice control. It’s when adding a React Sub, however, that it really sings as a sonically powerful yet affordable package.
