help Polk Reserve SE FAQ
Is Polk Reserve SE a separate bookshelf-speaker model?
Polk's official Reserve lineup lists the R100 and R200 as bookshelf or standmount speakers, but it does not identify a separate model called Reserve SE. The catalog name most likely refers to the Polk Reserve R200. [Polk Audio](https://www.polkaudio.com/en/product/home-speakers/bookshelf/reserve-r200/300029.html?dwvar_300029_color=Black)
What drivers are used in the Polk Reserve R200?
The R200 uses a 1-inch Pinnacle ring-radiator tweeter and a 6.5-inch Turbine Cone mid-bass driver. It is a two-way speaker with a rear ETF port rather than a three-way design.

What amplifier power does the Polk Reserve R200 need?
Polk lists a recommended amplifier range of 30 to 200 watts for the R200. Its minimum impedance is 3.8 ohms and its sensitivity is 86 dB, so an amplifier that handles low impedance is a sensible match.

Can the Polk Reserve R200 be used in a home-theater system?
Yes. The R200 can serve as a stereo front or rear speaker, and Polk lists it as designed for the R900 height module. Each speaker measures about 7.5 by 14.1 by 13.9 inches and weighs 19.1 pounds, so a strong stand is important.
