The Polk R100 delivers incredible clarity and immersive sound from a compact form factor. As part of Polk’s acclaimed Reserve Series, these speakers combine elegant design, innovative technology, and precise audio engineering. Whether you’re building a premium stereo setup or expanding a surround system, the Polk R100 ensures rich, room-filling sound that captures every detail.
Perfect for music enthusiasts and home theater lovers, it blends compact convenience with powerful acoustic performance.
Design & Build Quality of the Polk R100
The Polk R100 showcases a minimalist yet refined design inspired by Polk’s signature craftsmanship. Its acoustically inert MDF enclosure and internal bracing reduce unwanted vibrations, delivering clean, distortion-free audio. The matte black finish and magnetic grille give it a modern, premium aesthetic that complements any décor.
Moreover, the compact bookshelf design allows flexible placement — on shelves, stands, or even wall mounts — without sacrificing performance. Every element of the R100 is built for durability, visual harmony, and sound purity.
Power Output & Performance
Despite its compact size, the Polk R100 produces impressive acoustic depth and dynamic range. Each speaker is equipped with a 1” Pinnacle Ring Radiator tweeter and a 5.25” Turbine Cone mid-bass driver. Together, they deliver a perfectly balanced blend of crisp highs, natural mids, and tight lows.
The Turbine Cone technology enhances stiffness and damping, ensuring accurate midrange reproduction. The Pinnacle tweeter, designed for high-resolution audio, extends high frequencies up to 40kHz. As a result, vocals and instruments sound lifelike, and every movie soundtrack feels immersive and realistic.
With 58Hz–39kHz frequency response and 86dB sensitivity, the R100 performs effortlessly in both small and medium-sized rooms.
