Manufacturer's Description

High Definition Pinnacle Ring Radiator Tweeter

Over 40 years of tweeter innovation, design and prototyping has led to the development of the new 1" high definition Pinnacle ring radiator tweeter. Developed by Polk Audio, it delivers ultra-clear, crisp highs without unwanted coloration or distortions. The Pinnacle tweeter features a finely tuned waveguide that dramatically improves the dispersion of high frequency energy ensuring a broad "sweet spot" while the critically damped rear-chamber helps defeat any unwanted resonances. Hi-Res certified, the Pinnacle Tweeter is designed for today's two-channel music listening as well as multi-channel 3D audio found in movies, sports, and video game soundtracks.

Dual 5.25" Turbine Cones

Polk developed the Turbine cone specifically for our flagship products to ensure the natural reproduction of the mid-range, to which human ears are particularly sensitive. These Turbine cones combine Polk's proprietary foam core and molded Turbine geometry which dramatically increases stiffness and damping, without adding mass. You will hear every detail and experience a smooth, detailed mid-range and effortless bass.

Polk Newly Patented X-Port (ETF)

Polk's newly patented X-Port incorporates an Eigentone Filter (ETF) offering distortion-free, effortless bass. Consisting of a set of closed-pipe absorbers that are specifically tuned to catch and eliminate traditional speaker distortions. X-Port ensures that the upper bass and mid-range are free of port and cabinet resonances for smooth, detailed audio.

Cabinets Built for Better Performance

Polk believes cabinets should be beautiful and add nothing to the playback. Polk Reserve cabinets, braces, and internal enclosures are carefully engineered to minimize unwanted internal standing waves and eliminate unwanted resonances. The result is a cabinet that rigidly holds the transducer array while it faithfully reproduces recordings.

Height Module Compatible

These bookshelf speakers can be used for the front stage of any home theater as well as side and/or rear surrounds. To add immersive vertical sound, Reserve R900 height modules are compatible (R900 sold separately).

Hi-Res Audio Performance

Your sound is only as good as your source. With Hi-Res Audio certification, the Polk Reserve R500 delivers clear and detailed high-end response. Female vocals are particularly smooth, with exceptional clarity and without coloration. Plus, a minimum support of 40kHz perfectly reproduces the latest Hi-Res audio files with improved audio extension.

Product Description

Offering a balance of size and power, the R500 loudspeaker is perfect for both listening in a stereo pair or within a surround system. It delivers standout sound from a narrow, elegant cabinet that seamlessly fits into any room.

AMAZING SOUND AND ELEGANCE

Inheriting Polk’s flagship transducer array, the R500 produces exceptional sound that rivals competitor speakers that sell for twice the price. Hi-Res Audio certified, the Reserve R500 is ideal for today’s two-channel music listening as well as multi-channel 3D audio found in movies, sports, and video game soundtracks.

PINNACLE RING RADIATOR TWEETER

The Pinnacle Ring Radiator Tweeter’s distinctive pointed shape guides the dispersion of high frequency sounds around a room. This innovation widens the sweet spot and allows you freedom to enjoy your music and movies wherever you choose to sit.

TURBINE CONE WOOFER

Our pioneering turbine design delivers a significant increase in cone rigidity without increasing mass. This innovation means the woofer can move with increased accuracy and speed to deliver enhanced sound resolution, enabling you to experience a breathtaking level of detail in your music and movies.

X-PORT

Polk's proprietary X-Port eliminates unwanted noise created as air moves in and out of the speaker cabinet port at high-speeds. This ensures a rich and detailed listening experience with tight distortion-free bass and a clean midrange.

EXCEPTIONAL CABINETRY

Reserve’s sleek cabinetry hides a world of audio innovation. Cabinets are carefully cross-braced to best eliminate unwanted interior resonances. Rounded exterior corners help disperse sound broadly around the room with minimal diffraction, creating an open sound stage.

Polk R600 is a delight

So I bought the R600's after a friend let me audition the R500's in my room. Mine is a difficult room which simply swallows bass frequencies at the 30 Hz range and below. The R500's nearly broke thru, but once again, the room was problematic. The R600's however, finally achieved my version of audio ...

Guerrero Ricquismas Burrito Flour Tortillas are 12 inches of tastiness! They are the perfect size for making burritos and wraps at home. We also occasionally use them for big quesadillas! The tortillas have a good flavor and they are super simple to cook. But they are also yummy with uncooked! I like that the packaging is resealable which keeps them fresh and makes it really easy to grab a tortilla and then save the rest for later.

These tortillas are so easy to cook. You just toss them on the stove and remove them when they start to bubble. Make sure you don't leave them raw because they taste better fully cooked. I eat them with butter or with chicken and salad like a burrito. Even plain these are absolutely scrumptious. Great flavor and you can use them in so many different ways.

This is the only brand of tortillas that my family buys and we buy a lot of tortillas! We like to use this size of tortillas for chicken and black bean tacos. They taste great and have a good texture. My partner swears they taste way better than other tortilla brands, but I can't tell the difference. I really like the resealable packaging which makes storing them easy and maintains freshness. We also like to get Guerrero flour tortillas that are street tacos sized and the 12" burrito sized ones! We occasionally get the corn street tacos sized ones too. 10/10 best tortilla brand!
