Polk Audio R500 (Pair) Reserve Series Tower Speakers

Polk Audio R500 (Pair) Floorstanding Speakers

The Polk Audio R500 is a pair of high-resolution Hi-Fi floorstanding speakers from Polk's Reserve Series, built for listeners who want reference-level clarity and deep, controlled bass in a full-size tower format. Each speaker combines a Pinnacle Ring Radiator tweeter with a dedicated Turbine Cone midrange driver and dual Turbine Cone bass woofers, backed by Polk's Power Port 2.0 rear-firing bass venting for extended low-frequency output without added cabinet resonance.

With a wide 50–300W recommended amplifier range and 8Ω (3.6Ω minimum) impedance, the R500 pairs easily with a stereo amplifier for two-channel music or with an AV receiver as the front left/right channels in a home theatre system. It's a strong choice for anyone upgrading from bookshelf speakers to a full-range tower without stepping into flagship pricing.

Key Features

• Pinnacle Ring Radiator tweeter: A 1" / 2.54 cm high-resolution tweeter engineered for detailed, extended treble reproduction up to 50 kHz.
• Dedicated Turbine Cone midrange driver: A 5.25" / 13.3 cm driver isolates vocals and midrange instruments for cleaner, more natural detail.
• Dual Turbine Cone bass woofers: Two 5.25" / 13.3 cm woofers work together to deliver deep, articulate low end down to 40 Hz.
• Power Port 2.0 (rear-firing): Polk's advanced bass venting design increases low-frequency output and reduces port noise and cabinet coloration.
• Wide amplifier compatibility: Rated for 50–300 W recommended amplifier power, suiting a range of stereo amplifiers and AV receivers.
• 86 dB sensitivity, 8Ω (3.6Ω minimum) impedance: Efficient enough to drive with a variety of amplification, from mid-power stereo amps to home theatre receivers.
• Full-size tower cabinet: Dimensions of 9.1" W × 40.2" H × 16.1" D per speaker, finished in Black/Brown for a premium look in any room.
  
  

  Built for Detailed, High-Headroom Listening

  The R500 keeps vocals and instruments clear and distinct, even when bass drivers are working hard underneath. Its Ring Radiator tweeter holds fine detail crisp rather than letting it fade at higher frequencies. Strong power handling and a rear-firing bass design let it fill larger rooms confidently, staying composed through loud, dynamic passages instead of straining.
  

  Why Choose the Polk Audio R500?

  A dedicated tweeter, midrange, and dual-woofer design — instead of a simpler two-way layout — gives each frequency band its own driver, paired with Power Port 2.0 for stronger bass extension. That makes the R500 a genuine step up for buyers moving from entry-level towers or bookshelf speakers, while staying versatile enough for both serious music listening and home theatre front channels.
