The 6.5-inch subwoofer impressed our panelists with its literal couch-shaking bass power. This system is more costly and much more complicated than our top pick, but our listening panel felt it delivered an experience more like being in a commercial cinema-though it did not sound as good with music. If your priority is to get an enveloping surround-sound experience, the Vizio M-Series Elevate is for you. Optional surround speakers are available. It offers the essential connection options we like to see- HDMI eARC, optical digital audio, and analog audio-but lacks a dedicated HDMI input to connect a source directly. The MagniFi Mini AX is compatible with the Dolby Atmos and DTS:X immersive audio formats, and can also stream audio over Wi-Fi via Apple AirPlay 2 and Google Chromecast, as well as via Bluetooth. The package includes a compact subwoofer that also performed better than its size suggests, producing deep, punchy, satisfying bass, and the system sounded better with music than most soundbars do. The soundbar measures just 14.5 inches wide, but thanks to its digital signal processing (DSP) technology, it produced a surround-sound effect that was, in some cases, more natural-sounding (if less dramatic) than soundbars using dedicated surround speakers. But in our brand-concealed tests, where the listeners couldn’t judge it by its size, this soundbar outperformed larger, more feature-packed models costing hundreds more.
Looking at the super-compact Polk MagniFi Mini AX, you might not expect much.
