Crazy price for a not bad floorstander, I really wonder how the whole production and supply chain still can make profit at such prices o_O
They might want to get rid of them before the next line-up comes out...

I have no information of the sort by now. ;)
Thing is, Reserve line is regularly discounted in France for quite a while (also saw the R600 for 800€, R200 at 450€, and even R700 went down to 1200€). From what I heard, this series does not sell very well, or at least somewhat below their expectations at launch (Sound United at the time, now Masimo).

It happens. I always had good success with Polk product though. :D Things can change though I suppose.

To close off-topic :
My (very personal) guess is that most customers weren't interested to spend that much for Polk speakers. It seems like the brand still has a very cheap/budget/entry-level vibe surrounding it. But sure, this can change ! ;)

In Canada Polk is a respected brand.

it has been at that range (sub 500EUR) for like 2 months. HCS is known for sell things at unbeatable prices for whatever reasons. Mostly French brands like Focal, but Polk also.

I wanted a pair of whites.

Livraison standard 193,90 €

Still cheap overall, but I can't mentally justify such high shipping costs. If they said 666€ + 25,9€ shipping, it would have looked better :D

Great deal for French people, though.

They deliver to Germany. I ordered a few units there
Maybe I'm a little blind today, but I can't choose Germany/Allemagne.
Is there a trick, can you help me?
