Know before you buy
Yes, the R700 is fully compatible with Dolby Atmos and DTS:X. It is also specifically designed to accommodate the Polk R900 height module, which sits securely on top of the speaker to provide the overhead sound effects required for immersive surround sound.
The R700 is a substantial floorstanding speaker weighing nearly 78 pounds each, so you will need a dedicated space that can support their footprint. Because they feature Power Port 2.0 technology for bass management, they perform best when given a little room to breathe away from corners or tight enclosures.
For most music listening, the dual 8-inch woofers provide significant, impactful bass that is often sufficient on its own. However, if you are building a large home theater system and want to feel the deepest cinematic sub-bass frequencies, adding a dedicated subwoofer is still recommended.
The speakers come with anti-diffraction magnetic grilles that are easily removable for a different aesthetic. They are designed to be acoustically inert, meaning you will experience minimal to no impact on sound quality whether the grilles are on or off.
The R700 is high-resolution audio certified and benefits from a quality amplifier that can provide stable power. While they are efficient enough for most modern receivers, pairing them with a high-current amplifier will help you get the most detail and control out of the drivers.
