Polk Audio Reserve R700 Floorstanding Loudspeakers Interested in a pair of Polk Audio Reserve R700.Colour doesn't really matter too much. Condition: Excellent Payment Method: Region/State: (VIC) Victoria/Australia By registeredguest 0 Comments Secure Ad AUD $1,400 Date: February 4Feb 4
Are you looking for a straightforward buy at a very friendly price? At A$1,400, this sits below the A$1,501 25th percentile and well under the A$1,601 median of the recent comparables, so it reads as a solid bargain rather than just “fair.”
That makes sense for a well-liked tower like this: the R700 is admired for its clean, articulate midrange, lively dynamics, and genuinely full bass for the money, so it’s a strong value if you want a serious stereo speaker without jumping into true flagship pricing. “Excellent” condition at this price is the sweet spot; if the cabinets, drivers, and grilles check out and the original packaging/accessories are included, this is the kind of listing worth moving on quickly.
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.
