Thank you very much🙏🏻I went to the store to buy and they recommended me the Polk Magnifi AX 5.1.2 and to buy 2 surround speakers in addition to it, it costs the same price as the JBL Bar 1000, what do you think please. I want to buy today🙏🏻😊👍🏼
I just it came with cables for the rear speakers to plug into the electric outlet. [...] I do love the sound and I’m glad I got it while it was on sale. [...]

The rare speakers only have an up firing speaker and a tweeter? The 800 just have 1 forward facing speaker? I bought the 800. Didn't think the 1000 was worth the money. I think the bar 800 is quite an underrated speaker. [...]
[...] I bought mk1 800 and 1000 and dialogues was a disaster, I couldn't hear anything except the bass, which were pretty good. I did also that "manual calibration" which you go as far as possible with the rear speakers to pair them but nothing worked. [...]
[...] I tried the Samsung Q990B, but was not impressed with its BASS performance and returned it back. [...] Please suggest me a sound bar with sub woofer. [...]
I bought an MK2 yesterday and so far have been impressed. [...]
[...] I decided to buy the JBL Bar 1000. Wow, what a powerful bass. [...]
[...] I live in Japan and was looking at options for soundbars. [...] I managed to snag the Bar 1000 for about $680 and I feel like I got a great deal.
I've had this sound bar for about 2 weeks. [...]
I've had a jbl sb400 for many many years. [...] Is it worth it over the bar 500?
