Polk Audio Signa S4
The Polk Audio Signa S4 is fair for mixed usage. Its slightly V-shaped sound adds extra punch in the bass and brightness in the treble to your favorite music. Dialogue reproduces quite clearly and accurately, too, and its adjustable dialogue enhancement feature is handy for listening to TV shows and podcasts. Also, it supports Dolby Atmos content. However, the lack of low-bass takes away from the immersive feeling in action movies, and its surround sound performance isn't the most impressive.
