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

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 ...

Our first choice if thin enough

We like this brand best for making tacos, but sometimes they'll not be thin enough for frying crispy shells. We look over each package carefully. Flavor is always best of any other brand. What I look for as a diabetic is carb count. I can only eat one at a time which equals 11 carbs. But it gets me by, one under my huevos rancheros, or one as a base for a tostada. I do not like the zero carb version of the flour tortilla, but haven't seen one for the corn tortillas yet.

The best Flour tortillas Ever!!! Highly recommend, I've tried so many different brands and finally found a tortilla that actually tastes homemade. Doesn't break and fall apart while making some burritos. These tortillas should definitely be sold in all grocery stores.

These corn tortillas are my favorite brand. They are white corn and they are good price and I can find them in my grocery store but it can be a challenge with some other bigger brand companies taking up most of the shelf. These are great when warmed through. Just a few minutes on each side and they are pliable for making breakfast tacos. They don't tear or rip and can hold quite a bit of filing! I store them in the fridge and have corn tortillas when I need them. If the expiry date is coming close, I will split the pack into 4 tortillas and then freeze them. They reheat from the freezer just fine and you don't taste they were frozen

Guerrero brand tortillas come in a pack of 48. Big enough to enjoy some great food with family or friends. I gave four stars because the tortillas get put in uneven making not all useable. The taste is great for a tortilla. This is the brand I do choose most often.

The Whole Wheat Carb Watch (aka Nutri-Ricas) is by far the best flavor. For a while I couldn't find it in my local store, but they brought it back. The BEST flavor of any low carb tortilla I 've tried. Plus it toasts and steams really nice like a regular high carb tortilla.
