Polk AudioReserve Series R700 Tower Speaker, 1" Tweeter 6.5" Woofers & Dual 8" Long-Throw Drivers, Hi-Res Certified, Dolby Atmos & IMAX Enhanced for Dynamic Home Theater Audio, Black

The speakers arrived well packed and without any evident damage. Unpacking revealed very attractive speakers reflecting good build quality. Good instructions. High quality connection points. They offer bi-amp capabilities, and I wired them accordingly. Sound is bright, complex, and has good depth. The sound is warm and appealing at low or high volumes. They are a great value and I am thoroughly enjoying these speakers. Thank you.

I auditioned several other tower speakers, including B&W 703s, KEF Q11, Martin Logan F10/F100, and Definitive Audio DM 80s, and these speakers sound better to me than all of them except possibly the DM 80 (which has built in 12 inch subs and is more than twice the price). They do require significant power (I ended up buying a couple of 200 watt monoblocks to power them, though they didn't sound bad at 90 watts either).Sound is very full, good stereo imaging and detail. They are not overly bright sounding (like the B&W's), and have solid bass, no need for a sub for listening to music.

When I bought my first tower speakers over a year ago I wanted to audition these but never got to them as I auditioned the focal aria 936 before and absolutely loved those so I kept them. I bought these a year later during prime day. They were good speakers. They sounded pretty good but I did not like the sound compared to my aria 936s, that's kind of an unfair comparison because the 936s are double the price. Even so I didn't get the same feeling I did when listening to the focals. I likely would have kept them and put them in a second set up away from my main system but they came to me damaged and I didn't want to go through the hassle of exchange for something that wouldn't be my main speakers. With all that said though they really are attractive looking speakers that do sound good and if you're looking for speakers in this price range I think it would be pretty hard to beat. Just based off what I have heard personally with a variety of speakers in a wide price range you'd probably have to double the price (936) to get a speaker that these can't compete with. These were the darlings of every reviewer on YouTube and while they're wayyyy to sensational they arent far off the mark.

These speakers are amazing. They replaced Paradigm Monitor 9s. The bass is so good that I almost don't need a subwoofer. (Almost) Dialog is intelligible. I have not measured anything, but they sound great. Like others have said, these are a great value.

The Polk reserve line has the neutral, clean sound that I like. I plan to keep them for as long as they, or I last.They have a refined and neutral sound. The bass is enough for most peopple and the highs are clean and not harsh to the ears. It feels like they can handle a lot of power. Beautifull speakers.

Before I review this don't forget to check my video review on transformational gaming on YouTube. I also have not taken measurements of these speakers either. That being said, I must say these sound great. This is an audiophile speaker system. I love the way the top end rolls off. These speakers have a laid back sound with a good midrange. Will these shake your house? Well that depends... Do you hard wood floors? Because otherwise than that, you're going to need some subwoofers. I am pushing these with the psaudio M700s. And honestly I wouldn't go too much under 700 watts which is what the M700s are rated. The r700s does have sensitivity but honestly you must get a receiver or amplifier that can dip to 4 ohms. The power that it delivers is irrelevant, however I would start out at 700 watts.A few things about the speakers, they thump! The midrange's 6 inch sponge speaker cone is the star of the show. The thud that comes from 50hz action is great. The not so 8 inch woofers are awesome but if you are on carpet, again get a subwoofer. These drivers just don't have the surface area to produce low tones without being on a hardwood floor. The ring tweeter gives you the sonics a tweeters are supposed to give. The sound stage is something to behold. You just can't go wrong with these and at least 1 sub. It is true these go down to about 30hz.In summary, I got these for 899 per. But now they are 1099 per. To me they're still worth it. And while it is true these go down to 30hz, they're completely rolling off around that time. Don't forget to visit the channel at transformational gaming on YouTube.

The R700 model Polk series tower speakers offer the clearest, precise, delivery being connected to my Pioneer VSX-LX505 model receiver delivering 165 watts per channel of a 9.2 surround platform. If you are an audiophile looking for a brand name make and model, hands down the Reserve model line gives you the.receiving end of an ELITE experience! I have, in pairs, the R700s, the R600s, the R500s in my surround speaker range and if you’re looking to save room from utilizing a subwoofer the R700s bough 2 tower speakers or more will eliminate any need for the bulky extra expense of needing or wanting one or two.. The subwoofers, mids, and tweeter are enough for you to be PHENOMENALLY BLOWN AWAY if you’re desiring or even questioning of buying the R700 reserve model line. Yes they are the price they are, but, each audiophile has there own preference! My contention and searching myriad is conquered! Try them buy them and overall this aircraft mechanic knows attention to detail and elite quality and craftsmanship when he sees, hears, and purchases sound of mind quality products! Get them on holiday pricing sales as they are at the highest I’ve seen for $1,199,99 EACH so Black Friday, Christmas and the alike holidays will give you the best price and trust me there’s no need to think of “BANG FOR YOUR BUCK,” involved here because the Polk Reserve series line is the ROLLS ROYCE or rather GULFSTREAM aircraft quality when it comes to the astounding effects of enjoyment with R700s!!! Professionally recommend and Audiophiles beware this model R700 model line is a flagship model for Polk that is going to inventoried for several years in the history books!!! Astoundingly recommend!!!
