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

These tower speakers have a great and full sound. Top is clear and a bottom with a hefty subwoofer-like punch. The speakers sit on spikes for Carpet or rubber for hard flooring. A nice touch. They are rated at 4 ohms and for my Marantz Cinema 40 at 5.6.2 Dolby Atmos (I use an Ayima AO7 to run the extra pair of Atmos speakers for 9 channels) they just crush every scene in my 4K collection. The uploaded video is for music listeners. That is with my Prima Luna Evo 400 tube amp. The sounds of Ray Brown laying down a line for Joe and Oscar makes me smile as a former bassist. You can’t hear how deep these speakers really go. My oak wood flooring rumbles with the sonics. Also Danny at GR-Research gave them a solid and no need for any changes to the speakers sound signature and I respect his opinions. These are basically the same as the Dolby Atmos version with a basic, but solid cabinet. They are quite heavy with the port on the bottom. I did remove the bi-wiring and replaced the connectors with Viborg pure copper lugs. This will improve clarity and detail if you have a system that can produce it. For movies and viewing or a normal audio system I would not bother. Just make sure every thing is tight. I run SKW copper cables to the Marantz and ELF silvers with Tuneful rhodium plated ccsilver z-cons for the music side. The Galion AS75 has plenty of power to drive them at 75 watts. I was getting 105-106 decibel peaks no issues and crystal clear. My wooden house shakes when that bass is rocking. I would say these punch up to the $3k-$5k range in sound quality. The R400 center channel I have is also big and has the wood vinyl; which looks very nice. White is probably long gone. I may upgrade the parts on these at some point in the future. Maybe not. They sound real good stock.

Massive sound. Can not beat the value of these. Running Arcam amplifier and Denon pre amp, utilizing Dirac live with ART. impressive.

Tremendous Value For the Price Point, I don't see how one could find better "sound for the dollar" They do like being driven with significant power, since I believe they drop to 3.8ohms. I have them Bi-Amped off a separate power amp, and as a result they get about 300w each. This drives them effortlessly and with no distortion, to as loud as one can stand. I have these incorporated in a 7.2.4 Home Theater setup. All the Speakers being Polk except for the Subs. I cross them over to the Subs at 40hz. Amazing sound for music, which in turn makes them great for movies. I did a lot of research on reviews before purchasing, and I'm quite impressed.

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!!!

Best tower speaker for classical 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.

I've had these speakers for over a year and cant say enough about them. If you can buy a pair of speakers for less than $5,000 that sounds better, good luck. Keep in mind though that they require a lot of power to drive them!

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.

素晴らしいです。空気感がまるで違います。音のシャワーを浴びられます。 ただある程度の音量を出せる環境がないと厳しいと思われます。 R100も持っています。こちらは小音量でも楽器が入っているのか？とマジマジと見てしまうぐらいの音がします。世の中進歩したものです。
