Floorstanding loudspeakers — Polk Audio Reserve R700

Polk Audio builds the Reserve R700 as a tower speaker for its Reserve range. It is a large, heavy design with a broad tolerance for amplifier power.

Key specs that matter

Polk Audio rates its frequency response at 38 Hz to 38 kHz. Sensitivity is 88 dB, and the nominal impedance is 8 ohms. The recommended amplifier window is 50 to 300 W. The cabinet measures 32.07 x 114.38 x 42.83 cm, and each speaker weighs 42.8 kg.

Pairing

The moderate sensitivity combined with such a wide power window means the R700 works with fairly modest integrated amplifiers as well as with considerably more powerful designs.

Alternatives

The Polk Audio Reserve R600 is another tower in the Reserve family.
