This Instant Home Theater is about more than creating sound far beyond what any TV speakers can produce. The 9000 is about transforming your flat panel into an amazing home theater experience. Polk technology and innovation make this possible. For starters, you'll hear superior center channel intelligibility thanks to the Optimized Center Array, a feature that employs all of the bar's drivers. Then, like real component systems, we use the critical 80Hz crossover point for bar and sub to minimize localization of the sub and create the ideal blending. But perhaps most impressive, we've created a component quality sound bar that reproduces true 5.1 channel audio in DTS or Dolby Digital. When you augment those surround formats with our proprietary SDA® Surround Technology, you'll hear why the SurroundBar 9000 IHT is the best sounding bar/subwoofer system. Digital Signal Processing (DSP) This is the most powerful DSP ever incorporated into any of our SurroundBars and is capable of 160MIPS (millions of instructions per second!!). DSP packs an incredible amount of processing power into a small space, controling delay, frequency shaping, crossover points, signal mixing and parametric compression. Dolby Digital & DTS Decoding both optical inputs can decode and reproduce Dolby Digital 5.1 and DTS 5.1 program material. Many bars can decode 5.1 but can only reproduce it as 2-channel stereo. The SurroundBar 9000 IHT plays back all discrete channels as intended for optimal surround performance and fidelity. Polk's patented SDA surround technology creates a broad, deep and tall sound field that extends along the side walls and overhead with a high degree of specificity. You hear a vivid 5-channel sound field from a single source; no rear speakers or special room characteristics are required.
With so many on offer these days, it is great to have a name you can trust. This item is certainly that and will be a perfect buy. The distributor have added some great touches and this equals great value.

Worth it
Upgraded from a 3 year old Panasonic 500 sound bar
The sub and the bar are well worth the 800 investment
So far just listening to music to test it out and the sound is fantastic
Happy with the upgrade

POLK AUDIO 9000
Bought the Polk 9000 January 7th, so far no problems looks nice under our tv.
Music sounds great and movies sound excellent.
Watched several movies and the sound can make you jump out of your seat...it is a powerful sound system.
Watched Titanic blueray with DTS master audio with my wife last night and set the Blueray player audio for the same(the sound bar LED was orange for DTS). To our amazement both of us were looking in the corners behind us thinking something hit the walls...how is that possible with a sound bar?
I went to Best Buy and sat in their studio to watch part of a movie - no doubt their system had more surround and I'm sure it's louder, but for this price and simplicity we have no regrets.
Very good (with caveats)
Pros: Easy set up, very good quality sound (optical input), more than loud enough for small to medium rooms.
Cons: Do not expect 5 channel sound from this (or possibly any) sound/surround bar, no HDMI input, hissing noise from analog input, small amount of glue where grill was attached was evident.
This was bought for a living room. Its primary purpose was to allow me to watch movies and listen to music without too many wires everywhere. Set up was straightforward. Mounting on the wall was a bit tough since I did it alone and had a hard time aligning the key hole slots with the screws on the wall. Ended up scratching the back of the bar quite a bit. Bottom line, get some help if you are going to wall mount this. That said, hookup and use were beyond easy. Subwoofer synced up with bar easily and functioned without any drops or lags. Did not program the bar for use with my TV remote.
I tried listening first on my ipod classic hooked up via the mini RCA...
