    Highly Capable Bookshelf Speaker with Extra Bass Power

    As the larger bookshelf speaker in the Polk Audio Reserve series, the R200 excels in delivering extra bass power thanks to its 6.5" turbine cone woofer and larger cabinetry. Perfect for listening in a stereo pair, as part of a front stage, or as surround components in a larger system.

    Inheriting best-in-class technologies from Polk's flagship Legend series of loudspeakers, the Polk Reserve series reveals what "better" sounds like, delivering flagship music and movie sound. Even though it uses many of the same transducers and technologies as the Legend Series, Reserve won’t break the bank. It offers flagship Polk sound at an approachable price.

    With understated elegance, the Reserve series has a minimalist design with universal appeal. Inheriting Polk’s flagship transducer array, the R100 produces exceptional sound that rivals competitor speakers that sell for twice the price.

    The R200 comes well equipped for superior sound. In addition to Polk's exclusive 1" Pinnacle Ring Radiator tweeter, it also boasts a 6.5” Turbine Cone woofer, Rear X-Port design, and carefully cross-braced cabinets.

    Hi-Res Audio Certified

    Your sound is only as good as your source. With Hi-Res Audio certification, the Polk Reserve R200 delivers clear and detailed high-frequency response. Female vocals are particularly smooth, with exceptional clarity and without coloration. Plus, a minimum support of 40kHz perfectly reproduces the latest Hi-Res Audio files with improved audio extension.

    Pinnacle Ring Radiator Tweeter

    The Pinnacle Ring Radiator Tweeter’s distinctive pointed shape guides the dispersion of high frequency sounds around a room. This innovation widens the sweet spot and allows you freedom to enjoy your music and movies wherever you choose to sit.

    Turbine Cone Woofer

    Polk Audio's pioneering turbine cone woofer design delivers a significant increase in cone rigidity without increasing mass. This innovation means the woofer can move with increased accuracy and speed to deliver enhanced sound resolution, enabling you to experience a breathtaking level of detail in your music and movies.

    Patented X-Port

    The Polk X-Port is a set of closed-pipe absorbers that are tuned to the internal frequency of the cabinet. This cancels out traditional resonances and distortions that you may get in the speaker's construction.

    Exceptional Cabinetry

    Reserve’s sleek cabinetry hides a world of audio innovation. Cabinets are carefully cross-braced to best eliminate unwanted interior resonances. Rounded exterior corners help disperse sound broadly around the room with minimal diffraction, creating an open sound stage.

    The Reserve Series

    Modern styling combined with Polk’s premium Pinnacle tweeter and Turbine mid-range driver deliver high-resolution detail and imaging. With Polk Audio's detailed, deep effortless bass, you will enjoy a whole new listening experience. Pure and minimalist, the Polk Reserve Series is engineered and designed with your entertainment in mind.

    Mix and match Reserve speakers to fit most rooms and AV configurations. From compact centers that fit in AV cabinets to wall mountable Left/Center/Right and height modules, Reserve guarantees great sound no matter the configuration.

    Built to Last, Featuring a 5-Year Warranty

    The Reserve series is built to last and features a best-in-class, 5-year limited warranty.

    Having built a reputation as the makers of great sound for more than 45 years, Polk Audio takes pride in superior sound and build quality, which feature many patented and award-winning audio innovations. For Polk, building audio products isn’t just a job. Delivering great sound that is accessible for everyone is Polk Audio's passion.

    2022 Editors’ Choice Award - The Absolute Sound

    "The R200 is a sleeper in the best sense of the word—not showy, not expensive, but a real, no-nonsense, high-end player. My first foray into Polk Audio’s Reserve Series couldn’t have been more promising or positive. Did Polk put a little too much Legend into the Reserve Series, specifically the R200? I know what my answer is, but I’ll let your own audition of the R200 be your guide—something I highly advise, BTW. To summarize, I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend the R200. Fittingly, for a speaker series named Reserve, I have no reservations about it whatsoever."

    - Neil Gader, The Absolute Sound, September 7, 2021


    "All these words are just to reiterate the headline; the Polk Reserve R200 is not just a fantastic deal — it’s a really solid speaker at almost any price. Though no one can guarantee you’ll like a speaker, I can at least tell you that you’re getting more than your money’s worth with the R200. Its refreshing to see such thoughtful engineering on a speaker in this price range."

    "And yes, I’d bet that you probably will like it. A lot. It has my fullest recommendation — especially considering it probably won’t burn a hole in your wallet."

    - Napier Lopez, TNW, May 22, 2021
