So, im upgrading my ~10 years old Dynaudio DM 2/7 to polk r700. Always wanted floorstanders, but lived in an apartment before.
Also my yamaha as701 to rotel rc-1572 with a D-amp NCore NCX500 modules.
This will be my endgame. In the long run it will be prolly fine, but having abit buyers remorse now.
If it makes you feel any better, I just upgraded to the R700s from the RTI 8 floor standing speakers (purchased 10 years ago, but they’re an old speaker model). I had zero problems with the RTI 8 speakers until one day the low end extension caused some chuffing.I did some research and ended up getting the R700s… and they’re great.
I’m still in my 90 day trial and my biggest concern is the needle like come on the tweeter. The thing sticks out way too far and is at risk of breaking when I eventually move. Aside from that, no regrets at all. These speakers sound great, produce truly “full” sound, and even my SO can tell the difference.
