Polk audio Reserve R600 Floorstanding Loudspeaker (Black, Single)

These speakers are amazing. They are replacing some 25-year-old Paradigm Monitor 9s which have dual 8" woofers. I don't need more bass extension than what this speaker can provide, because the subwoofer handles that.

I had ELAC Debut bookshelf speakers and i wanted to replace with good tower speakers for my theater. I shortlisted few including B&W 7 series, Klipsch r8000 series. I read through good reviews for Polk reserve series. I got these on sale.

I paired these Polks with a R400 Center channel and couldn't be happier with the results. Once I got the setting dialed in on my room calibration, they've done nothing but impress. The added bass was enough that I had to dial back the out put from my powered sub.

  Size, they aren't small, but are par for the course for floor standing speakers.

Built on their legends series topological these speakers deliver performance at a more reasonable price. When coupled with a quality capable amp (not AVR or receiver) that will deliver enough power the entire line just sings! I replaced my entire system with the reserve line.

I am extremely impressed with these speakers! I am very happy and pleased.

Great sounding speaker for mid-sized room. After 30 hours of break in these speakers produced really nice soundstage, low end had punch, upper range very clean. Best speaker in its class. Glad I bought them!

Crisp, clear highs with solid midrange. Bass was better than expected but a sub adds depth completely satisfied

  Sound great at low and high volumes.

Exceeds my expectation in a relatively small floor standing package. When researching, I loved the specs and size of these speakers for my modest townhome living room, but was somewhat concerned not having an ability to first see and hear these in person before ordering.

Some times things are just meant to be. I originally ordered the Polk R100's and Pangea speaker stands. I was looking for an upgrade to my 33 year old Polk Monitor 5 floor speakers.

  Rich detailed bass, and excellent sound stage. More sound at lower volumes and a better sensitivity rating than the bookshelf versions of the Reserve Line up make these a great pair of towers for a 50 watt per channel system.

  They are a large speaker. Might not be the best fit for smaller apartments or rooms.
