About the Polk Audio R50
It's the best of both worlds. The R50 tower gives you the technology (like Dynamic Balance® drivers) and looks (thanks to the real wood veneer) of Polk's higher-end RTi line at a much more affordable price. If you're looking for a fantastic starter system, or extra speakers for multi-room applications, these sleek speakers may well be the answer!
The 3/4" silk/polymer dome tweeter sends out clean, crisp highs. Dual 6-1/2" Dynamic Balance woofers team up to provide satisfyingly full mids and rich lows. And Polk's high-efficiency design means you don't need a monstrously huge amplifier or receiver to get great sound at high volume. You can see why A/V fans on a budget are excited about these speakers!
Plus, no vinyl finish can measure up to the appearance and feel of real wood with a black wood veneer, these speakers look beautiful! Each slim tower occupies less than one square foot of floor space. You'll like the innovative arched design of the front-firing port and speaker grille. Adjustable carpet spikes are included.

Product Research
Dynamic Balance: Dynamic Balance is a proprietary Polk Audio technology using laser imaging to determine what combination of speaker materials create the least amount of resonance. Eliminating resonance in speakers results in a wide, smooth response and low distortion.
Composite Woofers: Each speaker has dual 6-1/2" Dynamic Balance mineral-filled polymer composite woofers for clean midrange and deep, accurate bass. For a smoother response and improved durability, each woofer uses a rubber surround.
Silk/Polymer Tweeters: The improved Dynamic Balance silk/polymer tweeters provide clear, detailed highs.
Bass Ports: A front-firing bass port on each speaker gives you extended bass response.
5-Way Binding Posts: The 5-way binding posts will accept bare wire, pin connectors, spade connectors, banana plugs, and dual banana plugs.
Carpet Spikes: When the carpet spikes are installed, the speaker height is 37.706".
Frequency Response: The overall frequency response is 40Hz-24kHz and the -3dB frequency response is 50-20kHz.
