Signature Elite ES10 Surround Speakers, Pair, Elegant White | Hi-Res Audio Certified, Dolby Atmos & DTS:X Compatible, 1" Tweeter & 4" Woofer, Power Port Technology for Effortless Bass

Fantastic quality for the money when on sale. We use these for desktop speakers, paired with Fosi Audio 600w Amp running 480w power supply. No issues, no clipping, decent bass when spaced from the wall properly. If you need deep bass however, these may not be for you. Awesome form factor and quality MDF cabinet.

These are so pretty and powerful I am almost embarrassed to be using them as rear surrounds. They sound great, way better than their price.

Little speakers, big sound. I'm using them as rear speakers and they sound great.

This Review is for the White Polk ES15. The speakers are packaged correctly, and protected from damage on all sides. Rest assured that the speakers will not be damaged during shipping. These speakers sound amazing and I really like the way the white series looks. ‘ I was thinking about getting the ES20’s but I’m glad I read enough reviews and combined with a good subwoofer, the 15’s are all you need. The ES20’s are just too much speaker for my tastes. Your sub needs to thump, not your mains. Everyone is different, but prefer the mid to high range from my mains and center, and my subwoofer handles the low range. I recommend an RSL subwoofer to complete your setup. I also went with the ES35 instead of the ES30 for the same reason. I guess if you are not using a subwoofer the ES20 and ES30 would be a good choice, but I can’t imagine not having a sub.

I bought these speakers along with the ES20 bookshelf loudspeakers and the ES30 center channel to build up an existing surround system. I thought these would be ideal as building blocks for future system upgrades since they're very versatile. They can be used as surrounds in a 5.1, surround and sides in a 7.1 system, or as height speakers in an ATMOS configuration. They look beautiful and produce some amazing sound from such small bookshelf speakers. Since I'm living in an apartment and don't want to be a total ass, I don't think I've pushed them as hard as they can cleanly handle. Movies and video games sound great, and music is rich and fully balanced with the other Polk Elite speakers. From jazz and classical to drum & bass and reggae, the speakers are some of the best I've ever heard. I've heard louder systems before, just not loud and exceptionally clean sounding ones. These speakers work well in the supporting role of surround speakers, but they could easily stand alone in a small bedroom or office system as the primary speakers. If there's enough power to drive them then they will respond sonically. The Power Port bass design on the speakers is noteworthy and does seem to enhance the bass response and balance within the music without overpowering the mix. If I had one complaint, and it's probably not a reasonable one in this price range, it would be the fake wood finish. The MDF they used sounds good, but a real natural wood finish would just take these over the top from a 9.5 to a 10. I love these speakers.

I bought these really wanting to like them. I grew up reading about Polk in the 80's & 90's, and they do have a stellar track record. I was looking for small computer speakers to replace my B&W MM-1's. I got these and hooked them up to a cheapie $29 class-d amp I bought here on amazon that has 50W x 2 and a THX Onyx DAC. The overall sound was actually very good, nice and neutral from the mid-bass all the up to the treble. I listen to rock + metal + extreme metal. The highs were pleasant, as pleasant as a shrieking death metal guitar can be, and that is with No EQ applied. That being said, what caused me to cave and return them was non-existent bass. I figured with that Polk Power Port and having a decent size (for a 4" bookshelf speaker that is), they could maybe get close to 60Hz or so as an F(-6dB), but nope, these roll-off HARD below 80Hz even when close to a wall. I've heard other speakers in the same size factor with much more satisfactory bass output with the same size mid-bass driver. I know most would say "get a subwoofer", but these would have been used for traveling; I needed something that I can put in one of my duffle bags and these fit that bill with their small size. All things considered, for the size and cost: ♦ Sound quality in their usable range: 9 out of 10 ♦Finish/aesthetics: 10/10 ♦Midbass: 7 out of 10 ♦Midrange: 7 out of 10 ♦Treble: 8.5 out of 10 ♦Bass: 4 out of 10 ♦Overall value: 7 out of 10 These should be priced somewhere in the $170-$180 range tops, not $250, mainly due to the lack of bass response. Other than that, the look and finish is GREAT! With a 50Wx2 amp they can get LOUD and still sound great doing so! I bet the 5" and larger versions sound much much better as Main speakers! If Polk were to re-engineer these and give that midbass driver a lower resonant frequency (maybe 10Hz lower), and increase cabinet size just a smidge but not too much, perhaps 10-12%, I bet they could sound much much better! If you are totally OK with the lack of bass, I highly recommend them.

These speakers replaced a set, at least 20 years old and sounding fuzzy. Physical size of these was nearly the same and single-screw wall mounts identical, so all I had to do was connect and hang on existing screws, and the major plus is these sound nice and clear again.

Great sound for the price, I have them mounted to the wall about 4.5 feet high in each corner of the room.

Super happy. Well packaged, arrived on time in excellent condition.

Reviewing the POLK AUDIO ES10 Surround speakers I ordered the ES10 surround speakers on Wednesday morning to be delivered on monday and they were delivered today. I am very pleased at how quickly they were delivered. I have seen one video review on here where somebody expects the ES10 to have some sort of bass. If they read the specs of the epeaker before buying they would realise the speakers are rated to 78Hz - 40KHz (the manual states 78Hz but their website states 80Hz so its any one of the two). 78Hz is closer to the mid range frequency than it is to bass. I tested these with my SONY STR DN1020 with 14 AWG 99.99% OFC speaker cable and good banana plugs. I played a few different genres of music at a reasonable volume. I didn't want to turn up the volume too much until the speakers are broken in. There is indeed very little bass with these speakers. The bass sounds more like deep midrange. But with a 4" speaker I wouldn't expect there to be any bass. I was not expecting any bass from these. I am not an audiophile of any sort. I've had a good few types of speakers over the past 33 years. I am very very impressed with the sound from these speakers. Theres good Trebble and very good midrange frequencies to my ears. I dont have any equipment to do any frequency tests. I know some people rely on these sound tests with graphs for their speaker buying but those mean nothing to me. I rely on my ears. I didn't buy the ES10 to be my main front speakers though. I bought these to replace a pair of rubbish SONY sattelite speakers that came with a sony HT ST20 soundbar that I have been using with about 5 or 6 years. I needed a pair of compact surround sound speakers that would sound good and surround sound speakers don't need to have bass. I have been using these with a few hours now in my 5.1 system and they bring my system to life. Even though I'm using the rubbish thin speaker cable that came with the SONY speakers for about a week until I can afford to buy good speaker cable. What convinced me to buy POLK speakers is I was using a POLK REACT with the SR2 surrounds and subwoofer for just over a year and I loved the sound from it. After hearing the sound from the ES10 I will be replacing the other 3 speakers in my system and I will be buying the ES90 when I upgrade to a DOLBY atmos AV receiver. But I will be ceiling mounting the ES90 speakers. I am also considering replacing my YAMAHA NS SW300 subwoofer with a POLK subwoofer but I haven't seen any reviews of the POLK subwoofers yet. My SONY STR DN1020 is a very old amp now and I need to upgrade it some time this year when I can. I've orderd a pair of decent speaker stands for them which will be here next week. The speaker stands I have now are the key hole hook type that are very unstable with the speakers on them. I just need to order the speaker cable next week. I'll probably go with 12AWG for a 25 foot run from the AV reciever to one of the speakers and 15 fot run to the other and I have good banana plugs to go with the cable. TLDR These are fantastic speakers. I wanted to buy them last week but they were over €220 at the time. But when I looked on wednesday they were €180 so I jumped at the opportunity to buy them. I have absolutely no regrets buying these. I would highly recommend you buy the ES10 speakers if you need surround sound speakers. Just remember theres very little bass with these.

Perpect match to my Klipsch Dolby Atmos speakers. Planning to buy again for my surround side speakers.

dimensioni ed eleganza mi hanno fatto scegliere queste Altoparlanti e dopo averle provate mi son reso conto della qualità del suono. Pop, classica rock, le casse si adattano benissimo. In seguito ho comprato anche il centrale, suono corposo e cristallino con i dialoghi. Leggera difficoltà nel trovare la giusta taratura sonora con Amplificatore Maranz 7015

Väldigt nöjd med dessa små högtalare, bättre än jag trodde 👍. Tack.
