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

The media could not be loaded. 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.

These speakers sound equal to my $5K towers that I restored post purchase of these. They are power hungry but in my opinion do not need the support of a subwoofer. They go low and project the bass very well, even on carpet. Always been a Polk fan since I bought my Model 10’s about 40 yrs ago. These just blew me away!

Tremendous ValueFor the Price Point, I don't see haw 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.

I auditioned several other tower speakers, including B&W 703s, KEF Q11, Martin Logan F10/F100, and Definitive Audio DM 80s, and these speakers sound better to me than all of them except possibly the DM 80 (which has built in 12 inch subs and is more than twice the price). They do require significant power (I ended up buying a couple of 200 watt monoblocks to power them, though they didn't sound bad at 90 watts either).Sound is very full, good stereo imaging and detail. They are not overly bright sounding (like the B&W's), and have solid bass, no need for a sub for listening to 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.
