R-700 are Amazing for me!
I have just purchased my first set of Polk speakers the R-700 and I have to say they are just awesome in sound and reproduction of all I play. No parametric EQ required or Equaliser’s required just straight out and having had triangle speakers and B&W along with others these sound the best by far.
My set up as follows
Metrum acoustics Amber streamer
Metrum ladder DAC with pre amp and DAC 3 chips
ATC P2 Amp stereo 300w per channel amp
Polk R-700 speakers
All with high end cables ect.
My best buy speaker wise has been the R-700 to this system. Just can’t stop enjoying them.
Top job to Polk on these for sure.👌
I hope everyone gets to enjoy these speakers at some point.

Congratulations on getting the Polks.
Nice ATC amp. I wasn't familiar with the model so had to look it up...

Hi and thanks
yes the Amp has enough juice to drive these R-700's nicely, spent the whole day listening yesterday, its like they are improving all the time, do the R-700's need any amount of run it time? -
On run in, my own experience is a minimum of 40 hours for things to balance out. Some say a hundred hundred or so hours with the larger (than usual for Polk) drivers used in the R700, L600, or L800.

Great to have a new voice for Polk.

Thanks for the info may well take me a week or 2 to get a 100hr’s on them. But very pleased with how they sound now. Can’t imagine them getting even better. Iam listening at the moment to my dire straights collection. Really enjoying these speakers.
