Common questions

ANSWERED FROM THE DATA

What receiver do you need to drive the Polk Audio Reserve R500?

The Polk Audio Reserve R500 is rated at 87 dB sensitivity (on the hungrier side, so amplifier headroom matters) and dips to a stated 3.9Ω minimum — pick a receiver explicitly rated for low-impedance loads. Our free builder checks this against the exact parts in your build.

How much do the Polk Audio Reserve R500 cost as a pair?

$1,398 for the left/right pair at today's tracked price. Retailers list some speakers per unit and some per pair without saying so loudly — we normalize every price on this site to what the pair actually costs.

Computed from this product’s normalized, source-tracked fields — an unstated spec reads as “can’t check”, never as a yes or a no.
