Designed to Impress
Designed from the ground up to be the best sounding bookshelf loudspeaker Polk has ever created, the Legend L200, with its flagship audio performance and beautiful cabinetry, lives up to our mission to deliver great sound without compromise.
6.5" Turbine Cone
Polk developed the Turbine cone specifically for the Legend series to ensure the natural reproduction of the mid-range, the frequencies our ears are so sensitive to. The Turbine cone combines Polk’s proprietary foam core and the molded Turbine geometry which dramatically increases stiffness and damping, without adding mass, resulting in a smooth, detailed mid-range and effortless bass – hear every detail.
Better Bass by Design
For Legend Series we enhanced our patented Power Port® technology by fine-tuning the geometry of the port flare to smoothly transition air flow from the speaker into your listening area. The result? Louder, cleaner bass and more defined midrange by minimizing the turbulence, distortion, and port noise typically found in traditional ported speaker designs. Hear the difference in the Legend L200.
Pinnacle ring radiator tweeter
40 plus years of tweeter innovation, design and prototyping has led to the development of the new 1” high definition Pinnacle ring radiator tweeter. Developed by Polk Audio, it delivers ultra-clear, crisp highs without unwanted coloration or distortions.
Hi-Res Audio-Certified Performance
Your sound is only as good as your source. With High-Resolution certification, the Polk Legend L100 delivers clear and detailed high-end response. Female vocals are smooth and detailed without coloration. Plus, a minimum support of 40kHz perfectly reproduces the latest high resolution audio files with improved audio extension.
