Product Information

Further relieving resonance in the floorstanders is a new internal bracing Polk calls Column Resonance Control. Our pioneering turbine design delivers a significant increase in cone rigidity without increasing mass. This innovation means the woofer can move with increased accuracy and speed to deliver enhanced sound resolution, enabling you to experience a breathtaking level of detail in your music and movies. POWER PORT 2.0 And what entirely flabbergasted us on completion of our review was the price, which we did not know until the end. We’d have put them at least double the actual price. So in addition to being marvellous standmount speakers, the Polk R200s are a bargain.

Enhanced audio precision: Turbine Cone Woofer provides increased accuracy and speed for impressive detail. Reserve’s sleek cabinetry hides a world of audio innovation. Cabinets are carefully cross-braced to best eliminate unwanted interior resonances. Rounded exterior corners help disperse sound broadly around the room with minimal diffraction, creating an open sound stage. OPTIONAL HEIGHT MODULE The Polk Reserve cabinets use precisely engineered braces and internal enclosures to minimise standing waves and eliminate unwanted resonances that may colour the sound of your music. Laser Doppler Vibrometer designed point to point bracing, combined with new Cabinet Resonance Control, eliminates any unwanted panel resonance within the cabinet. Magnet, acoustically transparent grilles are provided for a clean and attractive aesthetic to these speakers. Polk Reserve R700 Floorstanding Speakers features

Features Meet Stuart, Yvonne, Nathan, and Vaughan. But more importantly, meet the solution to your audio dilemmas. Don't take that as the R700 doesn't have good bass. It does, and extends pretty deep. But the l800 woofer advantage was noticeable to me in listening.

The Pinnacle’s copper cap also reduces inductance and flux modulation, aiming to further boost high frequency performance and further reduce distortion; Polk’s own measurements show the tweeter output impressively flat to around 35kHz. The biggest and most annoying resonance of a floorstander is between the foot and the top plate,” Polk tells us. “Depending on the height of the cabinet this is usually between 150 and 200Hz. Our CRC construction clearly eliminates the resonance peak of the cabinet – the result is uncoloured bass and midrange.” The Polk Reserve R700 floorstanders deliver a bold sound, performing equally well with both 2 channel stereo and home cinema surround sound setups. A one inch Pinnacle dome tweeter provides crisp highs for detail, while the 6.5 inch Polk Turbine cone delivers clarity in the all-important midrange. The turbine cone combines a foam core with moulded turbine geometry to dramatically improve stiffness and damping, without adding extra weight. The Turbine cone lets you experience a smooth and detailed midrange and bass. we thought were easily the best speakers that Polk had made to date. However, it wasn’t all that surprising that we found them to be Unrivaled Sonic Performance: Striking audio clarity and authentic sound reproduction with two 8" woofers.

Immediately after pressing play on some of my favorite demos, it’s clear how remarkable they really are. The R700 excels at just about everything you can throw at it. Do I wonder if say the L600 sounds better than the r700? Yeah. But from my own at home comparisons I am sure it would be extremely minor.

and should be viewed using a good sound system. Polk Reserve R700 Floorstanding Loudspeaker Measurements & Conclusion

This tweeter comes directly from Polk’s flagship Legend series, and its ring radiator design means no central dome to enter break-up modes, so here achieving lower distortion within the listening range and indeed beyond, as the Pinnacle is ‘hi-res certified’. While in the larger Reserve models this driver is used for the midrange alone, its bass performance is, as we’ll see, still suitable for unsupported use in a standmount design, maintaining output fully down to 150Hz then declining relatively slowly to be 6dB down around 70Hz.

Clean, effortless bass is produced by Power Port 2.0, complementing the dual 8" woofers while reducing turbulence and port noise. The meticulously-crafted cabinetry ensures optimal internal resonance control and broadened sound dispersion for the ultimate sound stage.The Polk Audio - Reserve R700 - Flagship Floorstanding Speakers are the pinnacle of home audio, offering unrivaled sonic performance that will change how you perceive sound. With two immense 8" woofers, these speakers provide striking audio clarity and detail, breathing life into your music and movies.
