Polk audio Reserve Series R400 2-Way Center Channel Speaker (Black)

Purchasing the R400 center channel rounded out my front speakers perfectly. I don't have room for towers, but it works nicely with my R200s, XT90s and HTS12. Now I'm enjoying a 7.2.4 system and couldn't be happier. I've been a fan of Polk Audio since my military days in early 80's.

  Great balance for a center speaker and really makes everything life like.

If you only hooked up this speaker to an avr it would be way too loud for 90% of people. I love it myself. I've had a Polk Audio CS400 which is the same quality level as this one but 20 years older. They absolutely crush the sound.

Just got this hooked up - man, even the commercials sound good! And I really dislike commercials. Got the R200's to go with it - beats the old C-V towers I have by a long shot. Dialogue is SO much better than what I had. My friend always asked me to put on CC so she wouldn't miss what was going on.

  Clear clean dialogue - great with music too!

  Should've got it sooner!

Excellent center channel. Crafted with typical Polk quality.

Great bass, clear dialogue and high frequency. As others have said, make sure you have the space for this speaker and set a good crossover, I have it set at 60hz on an RX-A4A avr.

  Great sound and bass

  Front gray grill

My husband and I are avid audio enthusiasts, that span several years of product integration into our lives. Hands down, one of the most impressive dedicated center channel speakers money can buy.

• +

  Significant amount of accurate frequency coverage, which provides ideal home theatre implementation.

  The lighter toned grill may be a cosmetic peeve to those matching a "dark black" theme. It is more a charcoal gray. Albeit, quite nice against the cabinet.

This speaker sounds great. Voice are clear and precise. The speaker is large and is heavy. Make sure you have the space for it

• +

  Great clarity and looks good to.

I ordered this online its exactly what I dreamed it would be nice quality I highly recommend it .

Research into what's out there lead me to give a pair of these a shot at producing the quality sound I was wanting. Purchased an Emotiva Gen 3, 7 channel Amp to drive big 20yr old Cerin Vega 7series speakers an decided to go with new center units.

I got to test this speaker in a 5.1.2, My R600 are still being delivered, so my fronts are two 10 year old 4-way sony towers, I have 2 sets of Polk OWM3's as surrounds and celling mounted atmos. Onkyo receiver and I ran the room eq before playing them.
