Shortly thereafter reviews flooded the web singing the speakers\u2019 praises, particularly their bang for your buck.<\/p>\n<p>Naturally, I had to get my hands on a pair myself to see what all the hype was about \u2014 and put the speaker through the test bench. I chose the <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.polkaudio.com\/en-us\/product\/bookshelf-speakers\/reserve-r200\">Reserve R200<\/a>, the $700\/pair bookshelf model with a 6.5-inch woofer. While $700 may not sound all that cheap to people who aren\u2019t into speakers, it\u2019s basically a budget speaker when you consider most of the really good options retail for closer to $2000.<\/p>\n<p>As TNW\u2019s resident audio nerd, I need to see the data behind a speaker before I\u2019m confident making a recommendation. If you\u2019ve read my post on why speaker measurements matter, then you know that listening impressions can be fickle things, easily affected by biases and expectations. Having been an audiophile for a decade or so now, I know that reviews tend to become more positive in proportion to a speaker\u2019s price. Unfortunately, sound quality and price barely have any correlation.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s why I\u2019m always excited to see a speaker that punches well above its price class, and the R200 does just that. The R200\u2019s measured performance shows excellent performance by almost any standard, easily going head-to-head with speakers two or three times its price.<\/p>\n<p>It isn\u2019t flawless \u2014 few speakers are \u2014 but the R200 is a prime example of sensible design decisions to maximize sound quality at a reasonable price. You won\u2019t find crazy newfangled <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/technology\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"4\" title=\"Technology\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">technology<\/a> or materials here, just carefully thought out engineering.<\/p>\n<p>This isn\u2019t going to be your typical speaker review. Rather than spending 10,000 words describing different facets of the sound \u2014 there are plenty of reviewers more eloquent than me out there \u2014 I\u2019m going to mainly focus on the data. Still, I should give you a summary of my thoughts before we jump in.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_does_it_sound_like\"><\/span>What does it sound like?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>I spent about a week listening to the Reserve R200 before I measured them, and my overwhelming impression was that they pretty much dis<a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>eared \u2014 that they were nearly transparent. It may be the most neutral 6.5-inch bookshelf speaker I\u2019ve heard under $1,000.<\/p>\n<p>They also have a solid bass extension for their size, and their soundstage is pretty great too. It\u2019s not too narrow, not too wide\u2014 vocals snap to the center but the speaker throws out a sizeable soundstage without sounding too diffuse. Dynamics are excellent for a bookshelf speaker too, and the R200 can handle volumes louder than I\u2019m comfortable with without a hitch.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s just a really good speaker.\u00a0The R200 isn\u2019t just competing against other sub-$1000 bookshelf speakers; I think its performance is fully comparable to top-of-the-line $2,000-ish speakers like the <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.audiosciencereview.com\/forum\/index.php?threads\/kef-r3-bookshelf-speaker-review-erins-audio-corner.21349\/#post-708542\">KEF R3<\/a> and\u00a0JBL HDI-1600\u00a0\u2014 and it\u2019s certainly the better value. My benchmark for performance-per-dollar has long been the $1000\/\u20ac700\u00a0Focal Chora 806, but the R200 gives that a run for its money too.<\/p>\n<p>Sound aside, I also appreciate the understated, fairly minimalistic design. The matte black review unit I received is perhaps a little plain, but the white and wood finishes look classy and a bit more modern. Keep in mind the speaker is quite deeper than it looks in photos, about 14 inches.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_thats_it\"><\/span>What, that\u2019s it?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Yep, that\u2019s pretty much all you need to know. Although we reviewers often like to shower compliments on speakers we like, I\u2019ve increasingly found the best speakers aren\u2019t the ones worth the most praise, but rather the ones that have the <em>fewest flaws<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>The R200 has very few flaws that I could hear in my setup. But sure, I can nitpick a bit.<\/p>\n<p>The R200 might sound a little bright if you aim it right at your ears, especially if you\u2019re young and still have all your hearing left. It also can be slightly more finicky about positioning than some of the very best speakers I\u2019ve tested, as the sound can change fairly noticeably depending on how the speaker is angled. But aim the tweeter at ear height and slightly away from your listening position \u2014 about 10-20 degrees off-axis, perhaps pointing straight forward \u2014 and you\u2019re good to go.<\/p>\n<p>The speaker might also sound ever so slightly forward with some vocals, but I personally like the effect on most tracks. And though it has a bit more bass extension than average, it\u2019s nothing like you might find on a DSP-enabled speaker like the (much more expensive but similarly sized) Buchardt A500. As always, you might have to experiment with positioning to find the best bass balance in your room, or better yet, use a subwoofer and Room EQ.<\/p>\n<p>But again, that\u2019s all quite nitpicky.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Alright_get_to_the_graphs_already_I_know_you_want_to\"><\/span>Alright, get to the graphs already. I know you want to.<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>If you want to make a speaker that will sound great to most people, there are two things you really need to optimize: frequency response and directivity. The frequency response tells us the basic tonal balance of a speaker before the influence of reflections, and it should be mostly flat. The directivity tells us how that frequency response changes in different directions; the speaker should change smoothly as you move off-axis.<\/p>\n<p>The directivity is important because the reflections off your walls, floor, and ceiling all contribute to the final sound you hear in your room. If you want a speaker to sound <em>really<\/em> good \u2014 to create that realistic soundstage that makes it feel like you\u2019re watching a live performance \u2014 then the reflections off your wall should be similar to the direct sound.<\/p>\n<p>We can figure all that stuff out by creating a graph called a spinorama. I capture the speaker\u2019s response at 70 (not a typo) horizontal and vertical angles and combine all that information into one graph.

The listening window gives us a small average of a few horizontal and vertical angles to account for the fact that people don\u2019t sit perfectly centered in front of a speaker all the time, and that you might not aim the speakers directly at your listening position. It is usually the more representative curve for what you hear in a living room setup, so that\u2019s what I tend to focus on.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"post-image post-mediaBleed aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-1351964 js-lazy\" alt=\"\" width=\"1200\" height=\"344\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn0.tnwcdn.com\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/1\/files\/2021\/05\/R200-window.png\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn0.tnwcdn.com\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/1\/files\/2021\/05\/R200-window.png 1200w, https:\/\/cdn0.tnwcdn.com\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/1\/files\/2021\/05\/R200-window-280x80.png 280w, https:\/\/cdn0.tnwcdn.com\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/1\/files\/2021\/05\/R200-window-540x155.png 540w, https:\/\/cdn0.tnwcdn.com\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/1\/files\/2021\/05\/R200-window-270x77.png 270w, https:\/\/cdn0.tnwcdn.com\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/1\/files\/2021\/05\/R200-window-796x228.png 796w\"\/><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-1351964\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn0.tnwcdn.com\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/1\/files\/2021\/05\/R200-window.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"1200\" height=\"344\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn0.tnwcdn.com\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/1\/files\/2021\/05\/R200-window.png 1200w, https:\/\/cdn0.tnwcdn.com\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/1\/files\/2021\/05\/R200-window-280x80.png 280w, https:\/\/cdn0.tnwcdn.com\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/1\/files\/2021\/05\/R200-window-540x155.png 540w, https:\/\/cdn0.tnwcdn.com\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/1\/files\/2021\/05\/R200-window-270x77.png 270w, https:\/\/cdn0.tnwcdn.com\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/1\/files\/2021\/05\/R200-window-796x228.png 796w\"\/><\/noscript><\/figure>\n<p>Here the R200 shines: it is <em>ridiculously<\/em> flat. The listening window is one of the flattest I\u2019ve measured, especially for a speaker without any kind of DSP processing to help it out.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s the type of performance you\u2019d expect from a high-end studio monitor, not a $700 pair of speakers from a fairly mainstream audio company. The rise in the last bit of the on-axis does tell us that the R200 may sound a little bright when listened to head-on, but you can simply point the speakers slightly away from you \u2014 about 10-20 degrees seems optimal \u2014 to balance out the sound.<\/p>\n<p>Next, we can look at the purple line. This is the \u2018predicted in-room response.\u2019 It applies different weights to each of the 70 angles measured to estimate what the speaker\u2019s response will be like in a typical living room (yes, living rooms vary a lot, but it\u2019s still a surprisingly good metric).<\/p>\n<p>We want this line to be flattish too, except with a downward tilt:<\/p>\n<figure class=\"post-image post-mediaBleed aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-1351962 js-lazy\" alt=\"\" width=\"1200\" height=\"419\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn0.tnwcdn.com\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/1\/files\/2021\/05\/r200-pir.png\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn0.tnwcdn.com\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/1\/files\/2021\/05\/r200-pir.png 1200w, https:\/\/cdn0.tnwcdn.com\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/1\/files\/2021\/05\/r200-pir-280x98.png 280w, https:\/\/cdn0.tnwcdn.com\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/1\/files\/2021\/05\/r200-pir-540x189.png 540w, https:\/\/cdn0.tnwcdn.com\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/1\/files\/2021\/05\/r200-pir-270x94.png 270w, https:\/\/cdn0.tnwcdn.com\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/1\/files\/2021\/05\/r200-pir-796x278.png 796w\"\/><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-1351962\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn0.tnwcdn.com\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/1\/files\/2021\/05\/r200-pir.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"1200\" height=\"419\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn0.tnwcdn.com\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/1\/files\/2021\/05\/r200-pir.png 1200w, https:\/\/cdn0.tnwcdn.com\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/1\/files\/2021\/05\/r200-pir-280x98.png 280w, https:\/\/cdn0.tnwcdn.com\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/1\/files\/2021\/05\/r200-pir-540x189.png 540w, https:\/\/cdn0.tnwcdn.com\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/1\/files\/2021\/05\/r200-pir-270x94.png 270w, https:\/\/cdn0.tnwcdn.com\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/1\/files\/2021\/05\/r200-pir-796x278.png 796w\"\/><\/noscript><\/figure>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Here the R200 also shows very good performance. There\u2019s a bit of a dip around the 3 kHz crossover \u2014where the woofer hands off the sound to the tweeter \u2014 but this is common among speakers with separate woofers and tweeters.

You can also see that above 6kHz, the tweeter\u2019s response drops off steeply, which may be why the speaker can be a bit sensitive about positioning.

This is the portion that messes up the speaker\u2019s response the most. Luckily, the vertical response doesn\u2019t have a major effect on the soundstage, and despite these results, the end result is still very balanced, as shown with the predicted in-room response, so I wouldn\u2019t worry about these anomalies too much.<\/p>\n<p>That said, it does mean that the R200\u2019s sound might vary a little more from room to room than speakers with better-controlled verticals. Whhile hear the presence bump as forward vocals, you might hear a recession where the response dips. Polk might\u2019ve been able to improve the vertical response by using a larger waveguide that would allow for a smoother transition between the woofer and tweeter, but that might\u2019ve had the sometimes negative effect of narrowing the soundstage too.
