Our Verdict

Polk Audio MagniFi MAX SR

Sony HT-G700

Depending on your listening habits, you may prefer either the Sony HT-G700 or the Polk Audio MagniFi MAX SR. The Sony is a 3.1 setup that's ideal for listening to vocal-centric content, and unlike the Polk, it supports Dolby Atmos. The 5.1 Polk has a better surrounds performance thanks to its dedicated satellites, and it can reproduce a more extended low-bass. Unfortunately, we noticed a lot of issues with the audio when listening to real-life content on the MagniFi Max.
