Polk Audio Reserve R700 Floorstanding Loudspeakers These speakers are amazing and have even impressed the missus (she then starts taking over the playlist lol) - clarity, soundstage, timbre, bass - but alas funds are needed. Bought new in August 2022, mint condition (pet, smoke and kid free home, in a dedicated audio room) and with original boxes. Plenty of glowing reviews online. Due to the size and weight once boxed, pickup would be preferred however can ship/courier if buyer arranges and pays for it. Many thanks for viewing. Condition: As New / Mint Payment Method: EFT, Cash on Pickup
This is a fair ask. At A$1,700, it sits just above the A$1,601 median for recent comparable AUD listings and well below the A$1,951 75th percentile, so it’s very much in the normal buying zone rather than an overreach. For a like-new pair, that’s a sensible place to land.
The R700 is well regarded for its big, room-filling scale, clean bass, and lively but controlled presentation, with enough resolution to show off good amplification. If the finish is genuinely clean and the speakers are complete with grilles/boxes, this is the kind of listing that makes sense to jump on if you’ve been waiting for a strong Reserve-series floorstander without paying top-of-market.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
Polk Audio emerged in 1972 from the inventive spirit of three Johns Hopkins University graduates—Matthew Polk, a physics major, George Klopfer, and Sandy Gross—in Baltimore, Maryland. What began as a modest venture building public address systems for local events evolved into a dedicated speaker company after an initial contract fell through, leaving the founders to sell their redesigned cabinets directly. Fueled by passion for music and hi-fi innovation, they secured Small Business Administration loans, relocated operations, and rapidly scaled production, hitting $1 million in revenue by 1976 and earning a spot on Inc. magazine's list of America's fastest-growing private companies.
The brand has long focused on loudspeakers as its cornerstone, pioneering models like the Monitor 7 series for balanced dynamics, deep bass, and high-volume performance that bridged European refinement with American power. Polk expanded into automotive audio through partnerships like MOMO in 1999, while maintaining a core lineup of home speakers, including innovative SDA technology for enhanced soundstaging. Though not delving into amplifiers, turntables, DACs, headphones, or cables, their emphasis remains on reliable, high-fidelity transducers engineered for generations-spanning accuracy.
Polk Audio holds a solid mid-tier position in the hi-fi market, prized by enthusiasts for value-driven performance sold through specialty stereo shops and big-box retailers like Best Buy. Once publicly traded on NASDAQ in 1986 before going private in 1999, the brand now operates under Sound United, upholding its legacy of accessible excellence without chasing ultra-high-end exclusivity or vintage obscurity.
