Polk Audio “Reserve” Series Premium Slim Center Channel Speaker: R350
Open-Box, essentially NEW. Hung it on the wall before realizing my older AVR was not compatible with the “height” speakers that I also purchased to significantly upgrade my Home Theatre system. Since the height speakers won’t work for me, I’ve decided to revert to my old HT setup and sell this wonderful Reserve Series Center Channel speaker too.
It’s selling for $599 on numerous sites. Because mine has been hung, it’s technically not new hence the approximately 25% DISCOUNT down to $450.
Crystal Clear Vocals for Home Theater
The center channel is the most important speaker in any home theater setup. The Reserve R350 uses Polk’s latest flagship transducer array to deliver clear, crisp, intelligible dialogue no matter where you sit.
The Polk Reserve R350 slim center channel speaker is the perfect discrete speaker for your home theater. This compact 5” unit can fit almost anywhere. With a 1” Pinnacle tweeter and four 4” Turbine woofers, you get clear, crisp vocals for your favorite movies and shows. With exceptional versatility, the R350 is also a left/center/right speaker, so you can use up to three units as your front stage.
• Four 4" Turbine Cone woofers
• 1" Pinnacle Ring Radiator tweeter
• X-Port for deep bass
• Low profile design with L/C/R option
• Hi-Res Audio certified
• Dolby Atmos & DTS:X compatible
The versatile R350 is one of the most unique speakers in the Reserve line because it serves beautifully as a center channel and it can also be used as your left and right channel as needed. Just flip the speaker vertically and you get a multi-transducer Left or Right channel speaker. Since the R350 is wall mountable, you can enjoy flexible placement on any wall.
Flagship Hi-Res 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
Our pioneering turbine 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.
Hi Res Certified
Your sound is only as good as your source. With Hi-Res Audio certification, the Polk Reserve R350 slim center channel speaker delivers clear and detailed high-end response. Female vocals are particularly smooth and detailed without coloration. Plus, a minimum support of 40kHz perfectly reproduces the soundtracks of the latest Ultra HD movies with improved audio extension.
Fully Sealed Enclosure
Unlike a traditionally ported speaker, the fully sealed design eliminates the turbulence of escaping air to prevent chuffing and other unwanted distortions. You will just get clear, easy to understand dialogue.
IMAX Enhanced compatibility guarantees an unforgettably huge and dynamic home theater experience when enjoying IMAX Enhanced movies, television shows and music.
Why the Reserve Series
Polk Reserve is a premium loudspeaker series that incorporates the custom transducers from Polk's flagship Legend series alongside new Polk innovations in cabinet and port design to deliver flagship music and movie sound without flagship prices. It is Dolby Atmos and DTS:X compatible and certified for Hi-Res Audio.
Pinnacle Ring Radiator Tweeter
Born of 50 years of speaker engineering, the Pinnacle Ring Radiator Tweeter features a finely tuned waveguide that dramatically improves the dispersion of high-frequency energy, ensuring a broad sweet spot and consistent sound in every listening position. Hi-Res certified, the Pinnacle Tweeter is designed for today's two-channel music listening as well as multichannel 3D audio found in movies, sports, and video game soundtracks.
Turbine Cone
The Polk-designed Turbine Cone is a foam-core, injection-molded cone made of polypropylene with turbine geometry that dramatically increases stiffness and damping without adding mass. This results in a smooth, detailed mid-range with three-dimensional imaging that brings music and movies to live.
IMAX Enhanced Certified
During the development of the Legend series, Polk helped the team at IMAX create the IMAX Enhanced loudspeaker specification, ensuring that only the highest-performance home theater speakers would qualify. The Reserve series' IMAX Enhanced certification guarantees an unforgettably huge and dynamic home theater experience when enjoying IMAX Enhanced movies, TV shows, and music.
Dolby Atmos and DTS:X Compatible
The Polk Reserve series is compatible with both Dolby Atmos- and DTS:X-enabled A/V receivers and pre-amp processors as well as Dolby Atmos and DTS:X virtualizers.
Timbre-Matched Configurability
Mix and match Reserve speakers to fit most rooms and configurations without concern. The Reserve series guarantees great, timbre-matched sound in any configuration.
Detailed Imaging & Soundstage
Driven by the Reserve's proprietary technologies, the series delivers exquisitely balanced, dynamic, and detailed sound every time.
I would be happy to set up the speakers (they’re currently well-wrapped and boxed) so you can have a listen but you would have to come to my house in Fraser. If picking up in a scenic mountain town is not convenient for you, perhaps I could convince a friend to allow me to do a demo at her place (on her system) in Littleton.
