So you have the Magnifi Max AX SR if I'm understanding correctly... Both the 1300x or 990F will 1000% be a massive upgrade from the Polk. I had that Polk system myself and it was alright but somewhat disappointing to me, mostly didn't feel the subwoofer sounded very good as it had a very strong midb

Be aware that the JBL Bar 1300 MK1 subwoofer might be rated at 300W but in real tests, it can only go up to 100W, so I would never ever expect the subwoofer from MK2 to get to 1200W if that's what they are advertising. Samsung's dual 8 inch driver sub from Q990F is somewhat closer to reality, rated

La tua recensione mi è utile perché anche io ero indeciso tra questi due modelli. Anche se propendevo per il 990F, adesso ho la conferma che è migliore del JBL 1300 MK2.

I own a 990D and a Nakamichi shockwave wireless 11.2.6. I can’t recommend a soundbar more than the shockwafe it is hands down the best Dolby Atmos soundbar set up and it’s 2 ported 10’s will blow away the single JBL 12. The shockwafe woofers use a lot more watts than the JBL 1300x MK2 that only uses

Thanks for that explanation! It sounds like we're on a similar journey. I bought the JBL 1300X MK2 during BF and got an 83" LG G4 on clearance about a month later, so I've really had the full set up for only about a month or so. I liked the JBL but my wife and I had trouble with some of the dialogue

Had the Flexus 300 Core just by itself for 45 Days, Sounds amazing! As a stand alone bar it is really good. Music sound good with hard hitting bass that is surprising, Especially with a clean sounding track. Dialog Sounds Really Natural & Clear. Movies are dependent on source quality. But does a goo

The JBL 1300X MK2 actually sounded really good with movies. The Wireless Surrounds paired instantly and actually had more overall sound output than the Flexus Surround 200’s. The JBLs were more alive during movies, but sounded forced at times. The Surround Decoding Algorithms is different between th

You remind me of my dad, still has the old OG JBL Bar 3.1, he drives a 2014 Acura TL, this is his 2nd 2014 TL too! I haven't heard anything about Sennheiser releasing anything anytime soon, so just dismiss Sennheiser for now. I have a video you should watch. It has good audio clips of both the Marsh

It does NOT work well for most people. If it did, the new CEO wouldn't have given this interview 3 weeks ago, saying it will take time. Sound quality wise, do you put in perspective the price of your surround traditional sound system with the price of a soundbar ? An excellent one line the JBL Bar 1

Klipsch Flexus 200! Plays Downs To 43Hz. Has Two 2.25” Drivers & A .75” Horn Tweeter For The Center Channel. Has Built In Subwoofers . I Have The Flexus 300 & LOVE It. Very Clear Voice & Dialog.
