The new Reserve line consists of three floorstanding speakers (R500, R600, R700), two standmount speakers (R100, R200), three center speakers (R300, R350, R400) and a "height module" (R900). The latter can be mounted either on the wall or directly on top of a loudspeaker and is then adjusted to the respective situation via a switch.
Innovations in the Reserve Series include the "Pinnacle Ring-Radiator" tweeters built into each of the new speakers, which are said to improve dispersion thanks to a finely tuned waveguide. The specially damped rear chamber is intended to suppress resonances as much as possible. The so-called "Turbine Cone" in the midrange drivers is supposed to additionally support the drivers with increased rigidity and damping. Another new feature is the "X-Port Technology", which is used here for the first time and is intended to absorb unwanted port and cabinet resonances through a closed tube system.
