Polk Audio Reserve R500 Premium Large Floor-Standing Tower Speaker-White
By combining 40 years of Polk’s audio engineering mastery into one speaker, the Polk Reserve R500 is built for those who understand the value of quality. Richer sound, deeper satisfaction, and an audio experience that turns any room into an IMAX theater—this is what owning the Polk R500 means. The Polk R500 is IMAX certified—meeting high audio reproduction standards set by IMAX, DTS, and Hollywood technical experts.
Unlike ordinary speakers that distort sound under pressure, the R500 delivers distortion-free sound with Polk’s Pinnacle Ring Radiator Tweeter and dual Turbine Cone. The Pinnacle tweeter waveguide enhances high-frequency dispersion for a wider sound stage while the damped rear chamber eliminates unwanted resonances. Polk’s Turbine Cones enhance midrange clarity and bass response. Generic speaker drivers responsible for reproducing sound have problems controlling driver motion the larger the speaker is. The cone driver flexes at higher frequencies causing noise distortion and ringing. Polk solves this issue by stiffing the cone drivers with foam that adds no extra weight. Ridges that form a turbine design on the dual Turbine Cone also add stiffness to the driver without increasing weight. Your listening experience will be clean, punchy, and distortion-free. Also, the proprietary X-Port technology eliminates unwanted resonance with a set of closed-pipe absorbers specifically tuned to catch speaker distortions. You'll hear every detail with natural depth owning the Polk Reserve R500 speaker.

Features:
- Amazing Sound and Elegance
With a slim and elegant design, the Reserve line has a minimal elegance that will fit into any décor. Inheriting Polk’s flagship transducer array, the R500 produces exceptional sound that rivals competitor speakers that sell for twice the price. Hi-Res certified, the Reserve R500, is designed for today’s two-channel music listening as well as multi-channel 3D audio found in movies, sports, and video game soundtracks. - Dual 6.5” Turbine Cones
Polk developed the Turbine cone specifically for our flagship products to ensure the natural reproduction of the mid-range, to which human ears are particularly sensitive. These Turbine cones combine Polk’s proprietary foam core and molded Turbine geometry which dramatically increases stiffness and damping, without adding mass. You will hear every detail and experience a smooth, detailed mid-range and effortless bass. - Polk Newly Patented X-Port
Polk’s newly patented X-Port incorporates an Eigentone Filter (ETF) offering distortion-free, effortless bass. Consisting of a set of closed-pipe absorbers that are specifically tuned to catch and eliminate traditional speaker distortions. X-Port ensures that the upper bass and mid-range are free of port and cabinet resonances for smooth, detailed audio. - High Definition Pinnacle Ring Radiator Tweeter
Over 40 years of tweeter innovation, design and prototyping has led to the development of the new 1” high definition Pinnacle ring radiator tweeter. Developed by Polk Audio, it delivers ultra clear, crisp highs without unwanted coloration or distortions. The Pinnacle tweeter features a finely tuned waveguide that dramatically improves the dispersion of high frequency energy ensuring a broad “sweet spot” while the critically damped rear chamber helps defeat any unwanted resonances. - Pinnacle Tweeter: The new ring radiator tweeter design dramatically improves dispersion while delivering clear, crisp and natural highs
- Dual Turbine Cones: 6.5” Turbine cones deliver smooth and incredibly detailed mid-range imaging
- Power Port 2.0 (patent pending): Innovative new port design enables effortless bass to play lower and louder than traditionally ported speakers
- Anti-diffraction Magnetic Grilles: Acoustically inert grilles offer a clean aesthetic without sacrificing sound
