Universally applauded as one of the best speakers under 2K. I prefer them over my JBL 590s although I did pay about half the price.
Edit: clutchfield says it's oos. Alternate link provided. Looks like Polk has MAP pricing in effect for these speakers.

| Product Name: | Polk Audio Reserve R700 |
| Product Description: | The Polk Audio Reserve R700 is the top of the Reserve line, which you can almost determine just by looking at it. Two 8" long-throw woofers anchor the low end, ensconced in a carefully braced cabinet with a down-firing Power Port 2.0 for reduced noise and increased bass response. A 6-1/2" Turbine Cone™ delivers smooth, accurate midrange, and a 1" Pinnacle ring radiator tweeter with an integrated waveguide offers clear, crisp highs. |

This Polk line is very well liked. Audioholics gave the Polk R700 a 5/5 rating and they lean into the engineering and measurements a fair amount. I would go this route over the Klipsch.
I like Andrew Robinson's reviews on YT, and he gives these a glowing review. I also just like to listen to Andrew talk. lol.

Wrong.
85 is considered LOW.
88 is is actually pretty efficient.

My experience with Polk stuff has always been good, just have realistic expectations. I upgraded from my Polk Monitor 70 II's to a Parts Express Amiga kit and haven't missed the higher sensitivity and output from the old Monitor 70 II one bit. That said, I need to crank the dial a little louder to get to the same SPL, I am okay with that. The Amiga's are a very impressive 2 way with some great bass. Killer value, and I built a 5.1 set around them as mains.
The low end Polk stuff I had is not even close to the ones posted here. My cheapo Polks served me well for a lot of house parties and I ended up selling them for about what a paid years later. The name helps hold some resale value with their stuff.
These Polks look like a nice design and a good deal, I'm not a huge fan of the aesthetics of the silver woofer, but they do have covers. The bottom port design they are doing is very nice and will help make them easier to place in a room. If you are in the market for a set of nice towers, these are good. If you are handy and interested in DIY, the Parts Express "Solstice" would be a comparable speaker, and I am sure the Morel drivers it uses would be of better quality than what Polk is using here. Of course your time goes into the build, and finish. Either way, you'll have a very nice speaker setup.

That is not low. Sensitivity numbers are almost meaningless because of how they're measured. Sensitivity varies across frequency and lower impedances are what cause issues for things like AVRs and cheap amplifiers. A major impedance dip is not reflected in this number.
And if you think that's bad… amplifier wattage ratings are just as suspect.
The high end Polk (LSI and other lines) has always sounded good to me. The lower end (like the Monitor 70 ii's I owned back in college) have a good SPL and efficiency, but a muddy midrange compared to better speakers.
I can't speak for the newest RP towers they just released, but Danny Richie did a review of some of those towers. Basically, they're not well engineered but some people do like the sound anyways.
