    I might have to jump into this demo. I am having a terrible time deciding what to do in my living room. I have my 2.3's surrounding my set, but really don't want to use them for games and tv. One of these SurroundBars looks like a great option.

    I'm probably going to suspend this demo and replace it after the current user has finished with it......depending on what answer I get from Polk. The Surround Bar 6K is a much improved model from my point of view and should be a welcome addition.

    I'll keep you updated.

    Ok, I manhandled 2 SB6K from Polk so the upcoming demos will be using those units. Thanks to everyone who demo'd the original and thanks for your time.

    I'll update the header and thread next week.

    Are we any closer to getting the thrilling chance to demo a Surroundbar 6000? Having the chance to try it between my 2.3TL's would be nice. I bought a HitMaster and am amazed how good it sounds. Can't wait to try a SB6k.

    Thats real good news about the 6K, I had the chance to demo the other IHT and liked it. To my suprise the wife said she missed not having it so after my turn whith the 6K version there very well could be new POLK in the house.

    Labels sent to Newrival for Messiah on a SB3K. The SB6K's are being drop shipped and will end up in a new demo thread.

    I'll finish out this rotation and if you want added, just let me know.

    Angelo dropped it off for me this evening Mark. I snoozed on the labels you sent me for Scott (OWM3), I can deliver them in person, or you can send new labels. I don't mind making the run up there, I can do it Sunday. Let me know what you prefer.

    I'd like to try a Soundbar demo for my parents. They are not interested in a full speaker set up for 5.1 or 7.1, but with the new flat screen they have, the dialog is too tough for them to hear properly. How do I get in line for a soundbar trial? I don't need a topline model.
    Cheers,
    Greg

    Labels have been sent to Messiah for KenBrydson.

    Labels have been sent to Earthy for Mrbofus.

    Labels have been sent to Drselect for Gmiller but I need all kinds of information from you first. PM sent.

    I also need two or more volunteers to start demoing the SurroundBar6000 that I'm dropping into rotation.

    I have one if these units and need a label to send to the next person. I also have the original IHT that I need a label for as well.

    Mark,
    Sign me up for the SurroundBar6000 demo. I was in line for the original IHT but scratch me off the list (I'm having RF interference problems with my unit).
    Thanks,

    Doro,

    I am sorry to say that my 2 weeks are up with this demo.
    No hurry on my part but in all fairness Send labels to me for the next in line.
    We have enjoyed trying this out and are pretty impressed with the sound quality it delivers for our viewing area.

    Thanks for the Demo.
