Just what I was looking for. Clean crisp and defined sound. A huge upgrade from my previous Polk Monitor 30's

In my opinion yes. After listening to the Q150's for over 3 years, replacing them with the R100's several things stood out as an improvement to my old, not so good anymore hearing. In a nutshell these brought back the music for me.The cabinet while much smaller in size then the Q150 has in room bass that is surprising low, rolling off in the mid 40's with solid initial attack and proper tonality. Most of the time I run them in pure direct not using my subs. My seating position is a little too close to the back wall anyway where it starts to border on nulling with the subs. Switching back and forth only on the deeper notes do the subs make a difference. And as good as my 2 Elac 3010's are, the speakers are better on that initial thwack of the kit. Tight! If one has ...

If one has the room I'd bet up sizing to the R200's would be all you would need for 2 channel listening.The top end of the bass into the mids has good weight and body but perhaps not quite in there with the Q150 detail wise. That's still high praise though. I call a tie on male vocals, with neither adding anything unwanted.I'm running out of time so I'll get right to it. The upper mids, treble presence range is where the magic is for my worn out ears (I'm 69 yo) and why I was starting to get bored with the Kefs. The R100's for lack of a better way of stating, are forward in a good way with amazing detail and great non fatiguing treble. Simply said, the Polk R100 bookshelf speakers liven up the sound in a way that I can enjoy my music again.

Rich full sound. Very happy with them. Recommended.
I have been a Polk fan for as long as I can remember. These were an upgrade to a very long running pair of Polk RTi4's, replaced in the Surround L/R positions. There was absolutely nothing wrong with the RTi4's, I just wanted to upgrade and see if Polk could improve upon a sound that was still excellent after many years.Polk managed to do it. Starting from just the unboxing experience it was like no other. The boxes are top quality and look sleek, overpacked to the perfect degree, down to the speakers that were wrapped in a black cloth bag, sealed at the bottom with a heart sticker.The design is aesthetically pleasing, and cabinets feel study and well designed. Magnetic grills are a lovely touch with the perfect amount of gripping force. The woofer and tweeter ... MoreI have been a Polk fan for as long as I can remember.

Magnetic grills are a lovely touch with the perfect amount of gripping force. The woofer and tweeter are works of art.These things are all easy to improve on, but how about the sound?The first thing I notice was how much better the tone (timbe) matched my existing Polk Monitor II speakers. The RTI4s were nice sounding, but the tone was obviously very off. These Reserve speakers fit right into a classic Monitor series set like they are right at home. They operate quite well on my old Onkyo TX-NR787. Feels like they can drive louder as well. There is an improvement in the richness of the sounds, which again may be more related to the tone of these speakers, but they have more of a far-reaching range as evident with certain music and movies. Considering the specifications are identical to the RTI4’s, there is a definite improvement in both the highs and lows.I recommend the Reserve series if you are looking for a premium line that is still fairly reasonable on pricing.
Great neutral sounding speaker. Punches well above it's price.
Polk reserve series are providing very good speakers for home entertainment. Definitely improving the whole listening experience. I love my audio system running with Marantz and Polk reserve compact speakers r100, r900, r300, r500 and a dual svs sub. I would recommend to go for bigger size of speakers in this series if you have bigger room to accommodate the audio system. Worth the money spend!!
I bought this Polk R100 as a desktop speaker to use as computer speakers. It's on the large size in that application but still manageable on a desk. I propped them up a few inches on stands to get the speaker away from the reflective surface of the desk, which is absolutely mandatory for best sound quality. I am driving it with a Topping Class D amp which has no problem even with the slightly lower impedance load of this speaker.I've tried other speakers before but this seems to be the sweet spot. You get the trickle down features from the Legend series . The secret sauce is the Ring Radiator Tweeter which is clean sounding without harshness. On some material there is a slight sense that the treble is boosted a bit from neutral but it's not objectionable at all. In ...

You get the trickle down features from the Legend series . The secret sauce is the Ring Radiator Tweeter which is clean sounding without harshness. On some material there is a slight sense that the treble is boosted a bit from neutral but it's not objectionable at all. In return, it sounds very detailed and clear. Midrange sounds like vocals are this speaker's strength, it's very solid, good body, no sense of exaggeration or "hyping" of the vocals. The bass is a bit limited given this is a compact bookshelf speaker, reaching down to 58Hz before it completely drops off. But the speaker doesn't artifically boost the bass at all and what's there is tight and controlled. So a sub is absolutely recommended but I'm still enjoying listening to it without a sub. I may add one later when the funds allow. Imaging is precise but not aways the widest, but that's ok. I'd rather have precise imaging over a wide diffuse sound.The only thing that gives away that this isn't a top of the line speaker is the vinyl veneer wrap. Up close it doesn't look convincing, but the wood-like appearance from afar gives it a bit of class. I like the rounded edges, and overall clean look.
Good sound but not what I expected regarding volume to distortion levels. I was expecting a bit more high end volume.
Excellent Speakers! Imaging is very similar to R200, which is also a great product but in a more compact package. Bass output is more than sufficient.
