Does the R350 need a subwoofer?

Yes for full-range sound. Its sealed cabinet reaches down to about 75 Hz, so a subwoofer fills in the low bass for movies.

Can I use three R350s as my front stage?

Yes. Polk designed it to serve as left, center, or right, so three units give a matched front stage.

Will my AV receiver drive it?

Most mid-range receivers can, but the 3.9-ohm minimum means a receiver rated for 4-ohm loads is safer at high volumes.

Can it be wall-mounted?

Yes. It has four-way mounting points and can hang horizontally or vertically.

How does it compare with the Polk Reserve R300?

The R350 is slimmer and wider for center-channel placement, while the R300 is a larger bookshelf-style speaker with more cabinet volume and deeper bass.

One R350 speaker. Speaker cable and mounting hardware are not included.

Our take on the Polk Audio Reserve R350

The Polk Audio Reserve R350 is a slim, sealed center channel speaker built for home theater dialogue. It pairs a 1-inch Pinnacle ring radiator tweeter with four 4-inch Turbine woofers in a cabinet just 5.6 inches tall and 30 inches wide, so it fits under most TVs or on a shelf. It is also designed to work as a left, center, or right speaker, letting you run three across the front stage. Reviewers praise its clear vocals and wide dispersion; the main trade-offs are modest bass extension and a 3.9-ohm minimum impedance that wants a capable amplifier.

What reviewers say

Owners and reviewers describe the R350 as a strong dialogue speaker for the money, with a clean tweeter and wide sweet spot. Most criticism centers on limited low-end output and the power demands of its low impedance.

BassCriticisedOwners note the sealed cabinet rolls off early, so a subwoofer is expected.
ImpedanceMixedThe 3.9-ohm minimum is called demanding, and some say a capable receiver matters.
SizeMixedThe slim height is liked, but the 30-inch width can crowd smaller TV stands.
BuildPraisedBuyers describe the cabinet as solid and well finished for its class.
