"You get what you pay for" still has meaning, but some companies are now working to attract the entry-level home theater shopper with cheap products that actually sound good too.
The Signa S1 offers excellent music replay for the money and decent intelligibility in movies. The provision of a separate subwoofer means it can go lower than some competitors that lack subs.
Less clarity and dynamic punch with action-packed movies compared to some rivals. No HDMI.
For a budget-priced sound bar system, the Polk Signa S1 sounds a lot bigger than it really is.

Indicator LEDs aren't very useful ; Lacks the top-end sizzle and low-end authority you'll find in higher-priced soundbars ; Aggressive voice enhancement settings sound artificial
Polk’s Signa S1 soundbar does an excellent job of elevating your listening experience beyond the limitations of your TV’s built-in speakers, and for an extremely modest investment. Chief among its strengths, the Signs S1 does an outstanding job of...

Had to return a different make as the sub-woofer was dropping its connection every few seconds. Got one of these as a similar price, really glad I did. Noticeably better all round with more depth and clarity to the sound and the sub-woofer does not...

Very easy to set up, wireless pairing between base unit and bar was seamless and very quick. Sound quality is very good and considerably better than the default sound you get from most flat screen TVs. The soundbar is slim and well designed, not taking...
