Signature Elite ES20 Bookshelf Speaker Pair, Contemporary Walnut | Hi-Res Audio Certified, Dolby Atmos & DTS:X Compatible, 1" Tweeter & 6.5" Woofer, Power Port Technology for Effortless Bass

I dont know who's book shelf these would fit on because they are huge, its more of how deep they are. Which is odd because modern TVs tend to be so thin. My TV is a modern Bravia and is as thin as it gets so the contrast in depth between the two is really hard to make work aesthetically speaking. That being said, the sound is really fantastic, probably some of the best at this price point. I pair it with and older marantz from the early 2000s and its warm sound pairs nicely with it. Probably not as precise in its sound as some other monitor speakers, but I prefer the non clinical sound of them. I listen to alot of acoustic performances and vocal stuff and these work great for this. They also work great for movies. When straight out of the box, the tribble can be really harsh until the break in period is done, it took a couple of hours of listening for it to sound the right way. Initially tribble was painful but sounds excellent now. The bass with these is really nice, and gets it just a enough umph to make getting an external subwoofer and option but not a necessity, but it all depends on what you listen to. The general look is really nice for the speakers, the faux wood covering is kind cheap looking on close inspection and I'd imagine it not holding up over the decades but they look just fine from a normal distance. Overall appearance is sharp. I just wish they were not as deep for my kind of set up.

As someone who has owned speakers that cost 8 times as much as this, these are fantastic for the price. They go really deep due to the power port (audio science review has a frequency response graph that confirms this), and they're on the brightish neutral side without being fatiguing, which is something I love. They look high quality, and aren't hard to drive amplifier wise. Would definitely recommend especially when they're on sale.

sounds great for my ears wasn't a fortune and yes i know that there are supposedly better out there but these fit my purpose and are worth the money. no weird vibrations or distortion. Paired with an rsl speed woofer

I spent many years touting my Klipsch RP600M speakers. I still think they are great speakers but I recently replaced them with the Polk ES20. I'm glad I did. They are smooth, clear and sound terrific to my ear. I thought the lower price was a compromise but they deliver well above. Highly recommend. Only cons. The plugs covering the speaker holes were almost impossible to remove without scratching and the grill magnets don't work as easily as the Klipsch.

The Polk Signature Elite ES20 is a stylish bookshelf speaker with a clean, modern design that I really appreciate. The sound is detailed and smooth, with clear mids and highs that make music enjoyable. For its size, it performs well, but like most bookshelf speakers, it needs a subwoofer to truly shine. I’ve paired mine with an SVS SB-2000 Pro, and the difference is night and day—the sub fills in the low end beautifully, making the system complete. My current setup is WiiM Pro Plus → Fosi ZD3 → Fosi ZP3 → dual Fosi ZA3 amps (in mono) powering the ES20s, with the SVS sub handling bass. In this chain, the ES20s do what they do best: deliver crisp, engaging sound without strain. If you’re planning a 2.1 system, these speakers are a great choice, just make sure to add a good subwoofer for full-range performance. Update: After the break-in period, the bass performance and clarity have improved. They are now more dynamic and punchy—for the price, I think these are great!

Been having my return to physical music over the last year and this was the final upgrade over my old speakers. It turns out, better speakers makes all of your equipment sound better. Who know?! These are a little bigger than I expected, so unless you have a deep shelf I'd recommend measuring first. I have mine on speaker stands but still got some sticky foot pads to secure them in place. But they sound terrific and the magnet shield was a nice touch.

Like so many bookshelf speakers these days, this one tries to be a jack-of-all trades and doesn't necessarily excel at any of them. That being said, I got them at a nice price on Prime Days and found them great value at that price, particularly for my small office. They are very heavy and pack a wallop on the low end - quite impressive for the speaker type. Unfortunately, I bought the Walnut and found it to be quite unappealing to the eye - weird color and a fiberglass-like simulated woodgrain. I sent these little punchers back; if the black ones come up at the discount price I'll revisit my purchase.

Silky smooth! Incredible speakers. You can listen to these for hours without the ear fatigue that some speakers create. Bass is well balanced. Highs are silky smooth. They look great too. I’m very satisfied with these!

Impréssionnantes pour le prix. Elle donnent presque trop de basse !!!. L'idéal serait de les brancher sur un égaliseur ou un amplificateur égaliseur. Couplé à un DAC équippé d'une puce AKM et posé sur mousse acoustique, le rendu est incroyable. Le poids important de l'enceinte en vaux la peine. Je remarque qu'elle peuvent remplacer une enceinte colonne. Je recommande, et je continue à acheter Polk audio.

La verdad superaron mis expectativas, calidad de sonido premium, se pueden escuchar detalles que realmente me sorprenden, graves, agudos y medios se escuchan increíbles. Las recomiendo ampliamente, valen la pena.. las complemento con el receptor Yamaha R-S202.

Buscaba unos altavoces de estantería con buenos graves y que no me gastará un dineral, estos ES20 me llamaron mucho su atención, conozco la marca porque ya tengo un central T30 que suena muy bien para películas y otros T15 que los uso como traseros de 5.1 y también suenan muy bien. Los ES20 los compré de oferta a buen precio, y llegaron en 1 semana, la entrega muy bien y procedo a desembalar que vienen muy bien protegidos, son espectaculares muy bonitos y de un acabado de mucha calidad, son bastante profundos lo que le da ese sonido con tanto cuerpo, el sistema que utiliza en su parte trasera como "bass reflex" es un avance en la tecnología/ingeniería, con este sistema no importa que el altavoz esté pegado a la pared , su diseño hace que se reparta la salida del aire sin ningún problema y con ello crear unos espectaculares graves sin esfuerzo. Me han sorprendido mucho , no me esperaba que unos altavoces de estantería sonarán como unos de suelo , increíble, el Twitter es verdaderamente claro y afina muy bien los siseos tanto de diálogos como de música sin ser para nada extridentes. Los recomiendo sin lugar a dudas , si buscas unos altavoces de estantería potentes , buenos en graves , con estos ES20 vas a disfrutar de tu música y de tus películas , sin ocupar todo tu comedor con grandes altavoces de suelo, es una opción muy válida y de calidad. Un 10 para polk audio por estos altavoces.

Super Klang für den Preis Hammer Habe sie mit den KEF Q5 und KEF iq5 verglichen und die Bühne ist voller und grösser . Der Bass ist enorm und die Höhen klarer .

Fantastic product. Clear, warm and realistic sounding.
