The port design integrated with the spikes is something special & really impressive at this price point. I can see it maintaining composure at higher levels of bass. Instead of a back or front port overloading the room, this is 360 degrees. Vibrations are also damped down by the spikes. Great design.
@emmet7208
@emmet7208 2 жыл бұрын
The port is likely tuned somewhere in the 30's or 40's, and as we know with subwoofers, those sounds become non-directional. Therefore it does not matter where the port is on the enclosure.

Yeah the R700 can play in a small space and with 20 watts but they transform into another beast when fed loads of power and a bigger space. Paired it with a Crown 2502 and a D90SE DAC in a 6m x 9m meter room and the R700 hanged with the best of speakers I heard in the very same room. Of course the R700 would sound less detailed in the mids and highs next to speakers with boosted highs, but with that in mind, they are near flawless. Dispersion isnt that great, so a carefully calculated toe in is needed. 15 degrees off on-axis works best in my case. Imaging and soundstage are beyond excellent in the right sized room.

I have the L600 which are basically the same speakers and I agree with your assessment completely. Based on the gear you are using, I'm not shocked you are happy with the results. Pairing either speaker with high quality gear will be rewarded mightily. 2 ohm stable amps are ideal because these will run down to 3.4 ohms but you can likely get away with a 4 ohm stable amp if you keep the volume away from max. When your amp is running out of spec those low impedance drops often cause distortion and for sure higher current draw. Doing so might lower the amps lifespan or shut it down if it can't handle the power draw. The only tower/floorstanding speakers I could find that sounded better than them cost $25K a pair. I got the L600s for 3K! Because those very costly Focal towers were only giving an extra 7-8 percent improvement in sound I just put all the savings into gear to make up the difference and then some! Polk really has something special here with both the Reserve and Legend lines but you aren't going to fully hear it if you don't power them correctly.

I've been a Fan of Polk Audio since I was a little child listening to my dad's RT-600's. The R700 looks like a respectable speaker relative to its sensational price point. I Love the use of the two 8" woofers, along with the downfiring port. Most people don't like big speakers in their house, but I believe big speakers produce big sound, and I will never be one to complain. Thank you for your review of these speakers :)

I’ve had my Polk Audio rti-a9 for years now and I love them. Great quality build at a great price point. I had a friend who’s dad had a pair of Polk Audio speakers who swore up and down by the brand. He had kept the boxes they came in, had a problem with something and Polk audio was so impressed that he had kept the boxes for so long and that the speakers were in pristine condition that they fixed them for free and covered the shipping. I thought that was so cool. I purchased my pair largely because of this story. This was 30 plus years ago and the treatment they gave his dad has always stuck in my mind whenever I think of their company.

This video teaches us that mixing and matching is an essential part of a well-balanced audio set. In this case, the slightly weaker midrange of these speakers is combined with a nice tube amplifier, which in turn contributes to a better listning experience for the music from this installation. Another facet of this speaker/amplifier combination is that a good installation doesn't have to be extremely expensive, as long as you properly match components. so far my two cents and thanks for the convincing lesson Jay!

Kudos to them because from my experience a ring radiator can seem directional and beamy. Polk seems to get how it should be done. Keep doing a good job.

I owned the R200 for almost a year paired with a single svs 2000pro. For the money that pair was pretty good in my opinion. I've had the R700 for a few months now and in comparison to the R200 it seems to throw a bigger presentation, better mid bass. The mid/highs sound is basically the same between the 2..but when I put the R200 next to the R700 and AB'ed them the R700 just sounds better, the mid to low bass is more seamless compared to the bookies & sub. I use REW and DSP's to try and integrate subs and adjust the speakers in room FR. Bigger soundstage from the R700. The neutrality and tone is basically the same though. If one likes that sound the R200 is the cheaper way to get it. You will notice if you put better components or upgrade gear around them. Good all around speakers.

The passion which you projected during this video made me imagine myself listening to these speakers. After listening to Elac at some point in my life it made me get goosebumps when you started to talk about the bass output. I had not thought of using a streamer, but when you showed the amp and the streamer together, it made perfect sense. When you finished with the pendragon comparison it make me believe these Polk R700 are the right set for me. Thanks for a fantastic review!! And you’re right, rock and roll NEVER dies.

Thanks for the Review. The R700 are really eye catching. I have like Polk for many years and these speakers show me that Polk will be around for many more.

Great review and thank you for very much for the giveaway. I like that Polk is upping their game providing an affordable big sounding speaker. It is true, there is no replacement for displacement and once you experience it's hard go back. So the R700 gives you a great foundation for high caliber sound. If one was to upgrade the crossover parts I think the resolution and imaging upgrade would make these nip at the heels of much costlier models. Thank you for the Tekton comparisons. Very useful.

Really glad to have found your channel! You have good enthusiastic energy. :) Your review seemed very objective noting strengths and weaknesses while maintaining a balanced perspective relative to higher-priced offerings and your pairing with the other components was also sophisticated and well-thought out. I am a musician and classical pianist who deeply appreciates excellent sound quality but am still on the outside of the audiophile world looking in and saving up and researching the most cost-effective route. I’ve subscribed and look forward to watching more of your content! Fantastic job, keep up the good work. :)

Been a polk fan for years and they've always had bass with no issues. That being said, it's great they've rounded things out with the mids and highs.

Great video, very helpful to hear your assessment of R700 Polk speakers!! - It's hard to believe what the speakers bring to the table at his price point. Now we just need Polk to raise the bar in the midrange and high frequencies to provide the crazy " Audiophiles " out there the Speaker of their dreams for an unheard of price point!

I've been a Polk Audio fan since college days of the early 80's! I still own, and use my Polk Audio iconic Monitor 7B's. Love them, but so happy to see that Polk Audio is back in the game with the Reference series. Thanks Jay for such a comprehensive review of the R700's. Excellent information.

Great review, Jay. Audio is all about music, human interaction and emotion and you always keep that in the forefront. Even with some really nice technical highlights. While it seems so obvious when key brands leverage the “past” it is nice to see Polk making it happen. And appreciate the balance with newer players like Denafrips and Doge. Really nice!
