Each year, dozens of European journalists gather to select the best electronic products of the year. Awarded by a diverse and impartial jury, the EISA (Expert Imaging and Sound Association) awards recognize exceptional products for their performance, design, or ergonomics.
The R500 speaker, which delivers dynamic and full-bodied sound in a compact unit, fits perfectly into any interior. The two 5.25-inch Turbine cones and one-inch Pinnacle tweeter deliver clear, crisp sound for home theater and two-channel listening. Polk’s new patented X-Port technology helps eliminate distortion found in conventional speakers.
The Reserve series, with its compact and refined design, blends into any decor thanks to its minimalist elegance. Equipped with Polk’s superior-quality transducers, the R500 speaker produces exceptional sound that rivals speakers sold at twice the price. The Reserve R500 speaker, which is high-resolution certified, is designed for two-channel audio listening as well as immersive 3D multichannel sound for movies, sporting events, and video games.
The new X-Port technology incorporates an Eigentone Filter (ETF) for natural, distortion-free bass. Consisting of a set of specially optimized closed-pipe absorbers that capture and eliminate distortion from a speaker, the X-Port system ensures that the upper bass and midrange remain free from any resonance originating from the speaker’s port and enclosure, resulting in sound that remains smooth and ultra-detailed.

After a 2-month break-in period, the midrange drivers have opened up and all the frequency ranges are well-balanced.
It's a daily pleasure to use these speakers for home cinema (2.0) or hi-fi listening.
The build quality is excellent (especially the aluminum/rubber feet and the terminal).
These are fast and analytical speakers that cause no listening fatigue, with very nice highs and mids. The quick and deep bass is the strong point of these speakers.

I took my time before leaving a review. Polk speakers often need a break-in period to perform their best. And that's the case with these Polk speakers. Paired with a Harman Kardon AVR 147 amplifier that's older but has ample power reserves, the sound is excellent and very well balanced. I recommend these speakers without hesitation.
