Polk Audio Surround Bar

Haven't been following the "virtual" surround options since I bought the binaura. But when I was shopping I compiled this list (with some updates):

Not sure what the polk costs. If I had the right layout (a box) in my room, I'd want the Yamaha YSP-1000 (or 800). I heard an offering similar to the polk (M&K?) which I liked less than the YSP.


For open layouts, Niro is probably best. The Binaura (which I bought) is a good, more budgetary contender.

There are several of these speakers hitting the market and I like the perk of not having to wire rear speakers. Have not been able to find a dealer in the Phoenix area so I could do an in-person experience.

I did get a chance to hear the Polk Surround bar and it sounds very very good. I hate Bose but its kinda like the Bose Wave radio of this sort of thing. Surprisingly good sound for its size.
