![]() The SurroundBar 3000 sounded good with all types of music material, drawing a good blend between spacious, smooth, and detailed. The sub's back panel is very clean (as it should be given the sub's wireless architecture), and the built-in feet are very solid and clean (This touch is nice on a budget sub, and more companies should do it - although it prevents spiking, stick-on rubber feet are so cheesy.). The main unit's plastic enclosure and smooth, substantive grill add some nice solidity to the product, and the sub's rounded edges look and feel great. The fit and finish of the SurroundBar 3000 are first rate. The system also comes with a cute credit card sized remote, providing basic functions of input select, mute, system volume, subwoofer volume, and power. The wireless subwoofer employs a downward-firing 6.5-inch Dynamic Balance Poly Composite Driver and flared port driven by an 80-watt mono amplifier, within an enclosure measuring 10 inches high by 10.25 inches wide by 10.75 inches deep, and weighing 7.8 pounds. The system does not decode Dolby Digital or DTS signals, or any HD music material. According to the company, this processing is created independent of any room boundaries, and helps maintain a solid center channel for clear, intelligible dialogue and Polk's signature sound-warm, with exceptional immediacy, fullness and clarity. The main unit applies what Polk calls "Polk Digital Logic", or Polk's proprietary DSP programming, to all of its three inputs (one optical digital, two analog, but no video switching). A two-piece system designed to simulate the sound coming from six speakers (i.e., a 5.1 system), the system's main unit employs two drivers employing neodymium magnet structures and measuring two inches by six inches driven by a 50-watt stereo amplifier, within an enclosure measuring 3.75 inches high by 31 inches wide by a super slender 2 inches deep, and weighing a very light 3.5 pounds. The SurroundBar 3000 exudes quality right out of the box, with smooth edges and little details that go a long way. Of the six soundbar solutions, Polk offers the SurroundBar 30, which have similar customers in mind and feature sets.
