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

I've been playing in bands since the Beatles and I'm retired now. My main hobby is experimenting with speakers to find speakers that can reproduce a sound close to a live performance. I like it when the treble doesn't tire and the bass is solid and strong and able to pack you a solid punch. The soft terylene tweeter sounds clear and undistorted, and the 6 1/2 inch woofer is quite powerful and only needs a small subwoofer to fill the area where leg hair vibrates. There are many good speakers in…

Wow these speakers are great. Plus, these speakers are huge! When researching these speakers, I found that there really isn't much information out there on these speakers in terms of their actual use. Specs are easy to find, but there aren't many real-world use cases. These speakers are huge for bookshelf speakers. The upside, however, is that they sound great. I ran them around for a bit without a sub just to get an idea of the bottom end of these things and wow that's pretty impressive…

I was considering using the S15 and S20 as front speakers along with the S35 center channel. I chose the S20 because it's a fairly large room and I'll be using it primarily for home theater and occasional music. I couldn't be happier with this purchase. Nice quality construction for relatively inexpensive speakers. Pay attention to the dimensions, because these are quite large bookshelf speakers, especially in terms of height and depth. If you can't install them, the S15 will surely get the job

Good; First off, these aren't bookshelf speakers. I don't know what giant medieval tomes they were reading on the shelf, but they don't even remotely fit on any of my bookshelves. I had to put them on stands. Included; uuuuu. They don't *quite* have the warmth and musicality of, say, the Dynaudios (I have 2 pairs) that cost 5-10x the price, but they're pretty close. Extremely detailed. Perhaps bordering on the analytical? Every time I listen to them, I pay attention to the details. I think the…

I originally thought I would buy an S20 for the front left and right speakers combined with an S35 center channel (which is significantly better than mine previous center channel speaker ), and then complete the setup with S10 speakers for surround back left and right. I checked the sizes and read the reviews - but the sizes never registered until I pulled one out of the box. Those are HUGE speakers. Calling them bookshelf speakers would be an exaggeration as they don't fit (depth) on most…

I installed a new system for my gym/mancave and was keen to use Bose. I've sworn by Bose for 25 years, but after spending pennies on my gym I decided to compromise on the sound system (I thought). My setup is a 20 year old Yamama receiver with Polk PSW10 bass, S20 front speakers and S15 rear speakers. So this rating applies to all Polk speakers. Maybe it's just a different room, maybe it's a different setup, but these Polk speakers are absolutely killing my Bose AM10 system (with a brand new…

I first bought a set of S 15 left and right front speakers from Best Buy. They are of excellent quality and produce great sound. Only later did I come across an ad for the S 20 here on Amazon. I was curious to see how much better the S 20 is than the 15. Again the S 15 are great speakers so I expected a modest improvement in sound quality from the S 20. First thing that struck me when I got these puppies is the size, they are very large bookshelf speakers, much larger. than the S 15. Reading…
