Looking for full specs on R1 speakers
I know this has been asked before, although unsuccesfully from what I've been able to find (or not). Still, this being the Polk Audio Forum, I have to believe the answer is out here somewhere. Is there a depository of specifications for Polk products vintage, old, and current? I'm interested in several, but for now, I would like to see the R1 bookshelf speakers. And no, they are not in the Product Archive, that's the first place I looked, just like other members of this forum who have asked the same question. I have exhausted reading all the relevant threads. Thank you.

Thanks F1nut, coincidentally, a couple of posts from 2006 and 2010 have now surfaced with same info.
Much appreciated. It appears R2s are much more scarce than R1s. Wonder why. -
