Polk Audio TL1 Black
Score: 76/100
LG S40TR
Score: 65/100Rankings
The Polk TL1 is a compact center-channel speaker that excels at clear dialogue and offers a wide power-handling range. Its trade-offs include shallow bass extension and lack of built-in amplification or wireless features. Best suited for budget 5.1 setups in small rooms where space is limited.
The LG S40TR is a 4.1-channel soundbar system featuring wireless rear speakers and subwoofer, offering compact design and Dolby Digital/DTS support. However, it lacks disclosed power specifications and is optimized mainly for LG TVs, limiting broader compatibility. Ideal for LG TV owners seeking a space-saving surround solution.
