Amazing Sound and EleganceWith 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 an 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.
Polk Newly Patented X-PortPolk’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 TweeterOver 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.
Dual 5.25” Turbine ConesPolk 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.

I moved into a smaller apartment and could not bring my larger speakers--they don't sound so great at lower volume and the footprint was too big for the space. I tried some bookshelf speakers with stands but couldn't get clean bass, even when applying a high-pass filter from my subwoofers. I read some about the Reserve series, and while I craved the R600, knew that I needed a more modest low end and mid bass. So, I figured I'd try the R500s. I have spent nearly six months with these speakers and am constantly impressed by how good they present the music. Currently, I have been deeply satisfied with the sound of the R500s. They present the music very well. They are more balanced in terms of the musicality of the instruments from delicate brushes on the drum skins to full bodied horn sections. In the past, some horns could appear bright on my system. Not anymore. The Polks give me a much more musical soundstage. I am running dual subwoofers to fill out the low end and I recommend subs because I am getting a deeper and fuller sound--and importantly for me this is at lower volume, which is appropriate for my smaller space. The R500s present sweet, clean, and full-bodied music from high-res digital, cd-quality digital and vinyl formats. And they look good in my room and are easy to move for serious listening sessions--my wife doesn't appreciate them being 40" from the front wall. However, she does like the sound and she thinks they look pretty sharp in our space!

Did not meet my expectation. The sound of all the speakers are muffled. I’ve upgraded from the Bose lifestyle 35 with 9.1 speakers and I regret it.

We upgraded from the POLK Audio TSi300 - Black ( 2012 ) to the Reserve R500 (White), and its like night and day…I’ve found myself watching movies that have been watched multiple times previously, and all i have to say about that is WOW!! I currently await two sets of S15’s to use as surround sound… Good job POLK!

Your system looks amazing! Given the space, a third tower can make for a fantastic center channel. Thank you for the photos and 5 star review.
