Rated 5 out of 5 by from A musically satisfying fit 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!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from What an upgrade! 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!

Rated 3 out of 5 by from Speakers 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.
