Polk Audio Signa S4
Score: 84/100
Harman Kardon Enchant-1100
Score: 83/100Rankings
The Polk Signa S4 is a slim 3.1.2-channel soundbar with Dolby Atmos and a powerful wireless subwoofer, delivering strong bass and clear dialogue. Its lack of a standard HDMI input and occasional Bluetooth hiccups limit connectivity flexibility. Ideal for budget-conscious TV owners seeking immersive sound in small to medium rooms.
The Enchant-1100 offers a powerful 315 W, 11-driver 5.0.2 soundbar with Dolby Atmos and DTS:X support plus automatic calibration. It comes at a higher price and omits a wireless subwoofer, limiting low-frequency depth. Suited for enthusiasts seeking premium Atmos performance in a single unit.

Professional reviewers commend the Signa S4 for its impressive bass output, clear dialogue thanks to VoiceAdjust, and effective Atmos height effects, noting it offers strong value in the entry-level Atmos segment. However, they criticize the missing standard HDMI input and the need for careful bass balancing.
Everyday users love the easy wireless sub setup, the room-shaking bass, and the clear speech reproduction, especially for movies and sports. Common complaints revolve around the sub's heft, occasional Bluetooth hiccups, and the inability to connect multiple HDMI sources, with some noting the bass can dominate mids if not tuned.

The inclusion of PureVoice dialogue enhancement and automatic sound calibration further strengthens its appeal for home-theater, movie, and gaming applications.
