Doesn't happen on my end either, but sounds like your TV might be sending a signal when you turn it on. I can't properly Google now due to my work VPN, but the Polk Magnifi Max AX SR could be snatched for 700-800€ if you catch a sale (on https://www.amazon.de/-/en/MagniFi-Cinema-Soundbar-Wireless-Su

I second the Polk recommendation. I got a Polk MagniFi Max AX 5.1.2, and it instantly bonded with my Roku tv and sounded excellent right out of the box. I plan to keep it for a long time.

Not enough people mention the Polk Magni Fi Max AX. Its $900 and by far has the best subwoofer Ive heard on a soundbar, surrounds are also fantastic. From the choices you listed I'd choose it over any of those.

JBL is famous for great bass. MK1 has real atmos with upfiring speakers but MK2 has got Purevoice 2.0 but don't know how much of a difference it actually is. JBL main selling point is those detachable rear speakers and big bass. Great bass will be for both versions. If You really want those detachab

I've been very pleased with both music and especially movies with my Polk MagniFi Max AX SR. For under $800 it's hard to beat with 7.1.2, Dolby Atmos, functioning wireless surround, good base, and overall ease of use.

A friend of mine has the Polk MagniFi Max AX SR and it sounds great for both music and movies. He tends to turn off the surround for music sometimes and said it sounds even better that way. I've just heard it with all the speakers playing.

Not a popular opinion, Polk Audio MagniFi Max AX SR. $799 and sounds great. I don't have a Samsung TV so the built integration on the Samsung is a moot point for me and a costly feature I will not use. Plus, I think the music side of things sound better than the 990f. Both are great, Polk is a littl

This is my opinion on soundbars: If you have money get Quads with SW5 or Sonos Ultra + ERA300 with Sub 4 or 3 they are the best when it comes to soundbar ecosystem. But if you don't have a space where you cannot place rear speaker at least 1 meter behind you then don't get the Quads, they work best

Your best bet with that budget would be to pick up a 4K entry level AVR, new or refurb, and then get some used speakers off Kijiji or Marketplace. You can find deals for used speakers and subwoofers pretty easily. A 5.1 setup is all you really need for an excellent home theater experience. Look for
