I was aiming to wait a few months in before reviewing these speakers however they’re good enough to review within a few weeks of ownership.Bass is excellent I ran a frequency test and could hear the frequency start to fall off around 35hz. But is still audible at 30hz. When it hits 29hz you can hear the bass start to really dissipate. The bass is clean and thunderous. Not at all muddy or distorted. Also the bass does not drown out the treble or mids at all no matter how loud I’ve turned them up.Mids are clean and non fatiguing. Mids and bass preform correctly without sounding like they’re drowned out at loud volumes. The sound is not warm or forward but just neutral.Treble. Well treble is very detailed. Not bright or harsh just very neutral and pleasant. Depending on your stereo equipment treble can sound a bit sharp on the esses with female singers however all together this is a very smooth tweeter with even sound distribution. sound is not colored at all. Just very pleasant.These speakers are very power hungry. You’ll want an amp capable of running 4ohm speakers. I gave these a shot on my onkyo budget receiver and the receiver was running extremely hot within a few minutes. However after plugging them into a 150watt emotiva power amp and processor the amp runs cool to touch at any volume level.Speaker built quality is great and modern with it without the grip. The magnetic wrap around grill protects the entire top of the speaker and front from dust and the magnets they used are very strong.These speakers are a steal at this price I’m very happy with the performance and extremely low distortion. After about 10 hours they really started sounding amazing.

I listened to far too many speakers to list here before buying the Polk R200. The R200 speakers are a must audition for any serious music listener. I had to listen to the KEF LS50 as it was so dominate for many years. This speaker was at the top of what I would spend. The LS50 at twice the price has excellent mid and treble but too bright to me, and lacking the bass quality of the R200. I also auditioned Wharfedale Denton 85th and was surprised to hear the bright treble. I did liked the sound quality of the upper/mid range of the Elac unified 2.0 UB52, but compared to the R200 the Elac lacked bass and sounded thin. The R200 has a beautiful full sound that is easy to listen to all day. It is not harsh and will not cause ear fatigue. The sound stage is wide and imaging is excellent. You can listen to these speakers with a wide listening sweet spot. You can sit stand or be off axis of center and still hear a great imaged sound from both speakers. The instruments are right there in my room. It is amazing. I like jazz and Oscar Peterson on piano and Ray Brown on bass have never sounded better before the R200. The clarity and details especially of the bow on the upright bass are beyond what I have heard from speakers this size. These speakers are heavy and solidly built. I prefer listening to them very slightly toed in and with the speaker covers off. Another great thing about these speakers is that you can listen to your old recordings such as 50’s – 80’s and also hear them at their best. This was important to me as I have a large collection of analog and digital music. Many upper end speakers are too revealing of poorly recorded music. Whether listening to classical, jazz, rock, easy listening, folk etc (analog or digital music) they will sound great on R200 speakers. I listened to Deep Purple “Machine Head” CD and it sounds fantastic. These speakers can also Rock. I hear details in all genres of the music that were missing before. I listen to these speakers in a near distance position of 9ft. They very good soft as well as well as loud. Believe me I know how hard it is to decide on the next pair of speakers to purchase. I am very excited listening to the Polk R200 and every time I turn this sound system on I hear amazing beautiful sound. These speakers disappear from the room as I enjoy the sound of the performance. I highly recommend the R200 speakers for their outstanding sound quality, but also that they compete far above their price range.

Be sure to read other reviewers opinion on these to match your taste in music.My taste is almost anything but country and rap.Techno, Trance, Pop, Disco, 80’s, Breakbeat = These speakers do very well!Classical, Bossa Nova, Jazz, other music that is truly dynamic = These speakers are REALLY great!Movies, TV, etc. = These speakers are good but on my system the highs are a bit muted. “s” and “t” are not as easy to understand. Mind you I am in my fifties and loud music has taken a toll on my ears.Add a subwoofer if your room is large and you can have a great 2.1 system for anything.Also, my room is quite large (18×26). Running an older Yamaha 90w home theater receiver is the minimum I would recommend. 140w or more would wake these up.Get them on sale and you will be a happy camper! Enjoy! =)

The Polk R200 is a nicely detailed, neutral and open sounding speaker. I have a smallish sized living room and using my 50-watt NAD 326BEE integrated amp, the Polks are open and crisp with VERY deep and punchy bass. The mids are smooth and there is nothing fatiguing in the treble range. I’m hearing many things on albums I’ve listened to hundreds (or more) times The fit and finish are quite nice (especially at this price point – I got the black). If you’re looking for bookshelf speakers in the under $1,000 price range, you owe it to yourself to give these a listen.

At the price range, there isn’t anything better in a bookshelf, IMO. I’ll list the weaknesses, there’s a bass hump that gets carried away. There’s no way to tune the bass port except to pull it away from the wall…but it’s a bookshelf, so you really aren’t doing that. Would have been nice to have the ability to manipulate that turbine, or provide a variety of inserts for that bass port turbine. That would be my only complaint. There is some music, like the song Duende, where this speaker completely loses control. However, overall , in every other way, the experience is exceptional. IMO, this is more than you can expect from a sub-1000 dollar bookshelf. The Klipsch RP600m that these replaced can’t touch this. Those Klipsch are a lot worse.

Made a sweet Polk reserve 3.1.2 setup b/c I didn’t want wires out back and currently my short throw is acting as the center only for movies/tv. I can mess up the music with the projector built in speaker lol

These elevated my Dolby Atmos setup to a true theater experience. I have them paired with the Polk R400 center channel and dual SVS SB2000 Pro subs. It’s perfection. Dialog is natural and the details of every sound can be heard. Listening to music is also a true experience with layers of instruments and vocals. There is no Bookshelf under $1000 that comes close. Make sure your AV unit is strong enough to power these.

These speakers are great. I’m pairing them with an Emotiva TA-100 and a Pro-Ject Debut Carbon Evo turntable. They have great, punchy bass and the mids and highs are nice and clear.

Polk Audio R200 are one of the best speakers I’ve heard. Perfect image, bass is tight and deep mid frequency are aired and rich noticed on recordings with female voices, high frequencies are so clear that make me feel that the cymbals are present in my room.
