Rated 5 out of 5 by from The hype is real Very capable speakers. Upgraded from the TSx550t. Immediately better low end performance. Very happy with how they fill the room and provide great stereo imaging. Thanks for confirming my bias, Polk. You guys rock. I remain a fanboy.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from R700 - Perfect upgrade to my Speakeasy Theater These R700s and R400 in Walnut are the perfect blend of style and sound in my home bar theater room. The speakers are well suited to handle the 350w/per channel into 4 ohms which my big bad Adcoms can feed them. Surrounds and subs are handled by DefTech so I’m keeping it all in the Sound United family. Next step is to replace my aged THX Ultra 2 Integra Dolby Digital Processor (2008) with a piece of modern electronics and expand to Atmos by adding 4 Polk in-ceiling height speakers. Great sound!!

Questions

I am thinking about upgrading my RTI A9's to the R700's. Will I see a improvement in both bass and vocal clarity?

Asked by: Fuelsrock
Hello, It is quite possible you will hear improvements with bass and vocal clarity with the R700s after being used to the RTI A9s. Much of it will depend on your speaker placement, what is powering your speakers, and of course your expectations - we all hear things differently.

I see an answered question, stating that at least 200 watts are needed to power the R700's. Since my fairly new Marantz SR6015 is only rated at 110w per channel, what pre-amp do you suggest? Thank you.

Asked by: Royalway
Hello, the R700 speakers do like a bit of power. With that being said, quality of power is also a factor. The Marantz SR6015 offers up a hefty dose of quality power that will certainly be up to driving the Polk Audio R700 speakers. If more power is desired, the Marantz SR6015 provides a Pre-Output section allowing for the addition of an external amplifier.

I just purchased the R700s and R900s and was planning to pair them with my Yamaha TSR-700 AV receiver. Based on some of the Q&A here, I am wondering if that receiver will provide the power/quality needed for these speakers. Thoughts?

Asked by: SlonFamG
Hello, the TSR-700 should pair just fine. The Polk Audio R700 speakers do like a bit of power. Your receiver looks to offer Front Left and Right Pre-outputs. You could consider adding an external 2-channel amplifier if needed.

Have the Polk R700's. Trying to figure out if the 2 receivers I have Onkyo HT-R8230 (currently using) or Onkyo TX-8211 will power them. Have a Crown 1002, not hooked up as I need preouts. Would I be better off buying a different amp or?

Asked by: Gizmo2022
Hello, Both the receivers you mention will work with the impressive R700s, but neither is likely to bring out the best in them due to both having a current delivery which is rather too limited. I suggest considering an integrated amplifier such as a Denon PMA-900HNE or a Marantz PM7000N.

With 2 R700 and R400 for RCL , 4 R100 for surround and 4 V80 for ceiling. Any ideas if putting additional 4 HTS 12 subwoofer will be better for cinematic experience?

Asked by: Balasubas
Adding additional subwoofers can provide a smoother bass response by helping with Bass nulls in one's room. New Denon and Marantz receivers now offer four subwoofer pre-outputs. If your room allows, additional subwoofers can elevate your cinematic experience.

How does the onkyo tx-nr7100 pair with the reserve set?

Asked by: Mary888
I had the Onkyo TX-NR7100 9.2 AVR and it's not powerful enough for Polk R700 !! And it has no pre-outs for amps !!! You need to find a processor and amp combo or An AVR with pre outs!!! Polk R700 speakers need a good 200wpc amp at the minimum!! I use Emotiva XPA4 Gen3 @260wpc into 8ohms with my Polk Lsim705 and R700 speakers!!! Sounds amazing with powerful amps !

Asked by: Rojo
I use Emotiva XPA4 Gen3 Amp with my Polk R700 and Lsim705 speakers and they sound absolutely fantastic!! You need power for them..If you need a powerful 2-channel amp then I highly recommend Emotiva XPA Gen3 @300wpc into 8ohms!!! And is only $1199 !!!! Go to Emotivas website and check them out along with the reviews!!
