Polk audio Reserve R600 Floorstanding Loudspeaker (Black, Single)

Well deserved 5 stars! These sound excellent top to bottom. They put out a good amount of bass for their size and they go pretty low. I haven't noticed much difference 6" from the back wall vs. further out. Response is plenty linear to my ear. Lows, mids, and highs are all very clear.

  Slight difference in sound when sitting at the edge of the sitting area.

Running these as front speakers,r300 center,r200 rear,and older polk fx-a4 as height speakers with a 10 inch velodyne sub.Paired with a Sony an1000 av receiver in a 5.1.2 setup,this setup is crystal clear and sounds amazing.I was worried as they list these speakers as 4 ohm,but the Sony powers them...

I love the sound, paired with a high quality receiver (Yamaha Aventage) they are very clear and musical. I was afraid that the size was going to be too large and that I should have gone with the R500 to avoid getting in trouble with the Mrs...

  Look, sound, build quality, price was fair (bought on sale made it even more compelling)

  The spiked dome can be dangerous if you have kids or maybe some curious pets - keep the grilles on if this is your situation. Be careful not to damage it when removing them from the box.

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.

Most of my rating of these speakers boils down to: they didn't jive for my taste. I had a pair of Polk LSiM705 very briefly a few years ago, and one thing I noticed with those (and unfortunately with these as well) is what I would describe a smearing in the bass/lacks detail or definition.

  Handsome looking speakers, especially in walnutPunchy bassOffers good amount of detail up top.

  Wider feet for tall slim tower speakers pleaseThe down-firing port still manage to activate/vibrate my floors.

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.

Fantastic Speakers. I had the R200s as my LR speakers and I have moved them to surround. Whether it's listening to music on stereo mode or watching movies in a 5.1 setup these speakers sound great and they work as one.

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!

Purchased 03/23. Very good. A hair bright at times but not fatiguing. I disagree with those reporting these are bass heavy and believe a sub is needed. Well built. No complaints with quality or clarity and only nicked a star based on value.

These speakers are undoubtedly worth much more than the retail price listed. These can easily compete with speakers that are much above their price point. While playing a variety of EDM, I was able to push the volume very high and received zero distortion. Everything came out clean.
