Should I wait until Monday (President's Day) to see if any sales occur? I'd prefer to buy from Crutchfield or Amazon, but open to suggestions. Thanks all.

    Couldn't find one either. Matter of fact, I asked about the Polk sound bars on here a while back and never got a response. Seemed like there was no interest. A friend bought one for a bedroom setup and said it was better than the tv speakers, but not too much more.

    Wonder if that means Sonos is the next Bose? :cheesygrin:

    May want to check One Call for those speakers. Seems they put something on sale every other day. Picked up my A5's at $300 each, shipped, not open box.

    Yes, I'm a big Newegg fan. They've been out of stock on them for a quite a while now.

    i wanted to buy a Surround Bar 9000 but nobody knows when it be available. Three days ago SONOS introduced a PLAYBAR. I'm gonna get their's

    Why put a surround bar on a website for 10 months and not release it?

    Go Ahead, click find dealer: http://www.polkaudio.com/products/surroundbar9000


    Does it work for you?

    I did a whole stupid conference call thingy a few days before they released this ( we're a dealer). Looks to be awesome. You can pair two Play5s as rear speakers and a sub to get 5.1 dolby digital. They claimed zero delay in all speakers. + you can use it as a normal sonos zone.

    One thing to look out for. Samsung has a few copyright law problems with Dolby. They cant pass dolby digital 5.1 from the optical audio output of the TV. Sonos PlayBar only has a optical input. I would call Samsung and ask if your model TV (if you have a Samsung) can pass 5.1 from HDMI to optical out. Same applies for the Smarthub apps.

    That's where they all come from, ultimately. Right? :confused:

    Haven't seen the RTi A3 on sale yet. Newegg even lists them as discontinued. Is there a particular time of year to see speakers on sale or do I have to pay retail if I want them soon?

    Get A5s if you can fit them. So much better than A3s.
