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

Had them for a few days. Rock, electronic, hip-hop/rap - all sound great. Good definition up top and mids with punch bass. Pry the caps off the plastic cable screws on the back for banana plug compatibility. Magnetic grills in case you have pets/kids. These guys have some heft to them. The reviews were on the money. Love them so far.

Sound great and look very nice. I paired with old Polk PSW 10

look and sound amazing!

Incredible sound out of small package. Crisp high and unbelievable bass. Driving these with a 100W per channel tube amp and they handle the power wonderfully. Can really crank these up without muddy distortion. Not like a pro audiophile quality but adequate enough for this audiophile. They will not disappoint. Purchased the white enclosure and mounted on white wall in my man 250sq ft man cave and it fills the room. Aesthetically cool...

These Polk ES20's don't disappoint! I've had Polk S60-S15 and matching Center before. Amazon got these Polk ES20's to me fast with No damage at all and on time as promised. I do highly recommend Amazon and these Polk ES20's speaker's!!

These speakers are awesome. Crystal clear high and lows.They sound great with my Pyle PDA69BU Bluetooth receiver.

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 10These 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 bookshelf/wall mounted speakers sound great. I paired them with other Polk speaker components for a 7.1 sound system and the sound quality sounds really good.
