Great sounding center, left and right channel speakers.

S35 speakers sound great. A HUGE improvement over my cheaper Polk setup. I have three of these s53s for the center and left/right front speakers. they sound clear and the music/dialogue is clear. They're a decent size, sticking out a good six inches from the wall, and weigh about 14 pounds. So remember that they are not tiny. really solid build quality. The photos I've attached show the speakers paired with a 65" LG 4k TV for size reference.

Pros
  • Easy to use
Cons
  • No power

Disappointed with Bass Response

I ordered this center speaker for two reasons. First I used a Pioneer SP-C22 which was too big to fit directly under my TV and the slim profile of this unit was perfect. The SP-C22 costs less than $100. Second, I liked the look and feel, which goes well with my Elac UF5 and UB5. I suspected that such small drivers could produce meaningful bass, but after reading the reviews I realized that this wouldn't be a problem. Well, after swapping out my SP-C22, the difference was immediately apparent…

Pros
  • Value Offered - HIGH PERFORMANCE SLIM CENTER - The Polk Signature Elite ES35 features a dynamically balanced acoustic array with cascaded crossovers, a 1" terylene tweeter and (6) 3" woofers that provide a deliver crystal-clear, room-filling sound. realistic soundstage
Cons
  • Expensive

I almost returned these.

I wasn't impressed at first. Went as far as printing out a return label. But it's a great speaker when displayed without the grille. So it took me a few days to see if I could set it up. I have 6 monitors from the 70's and a Polk PSW 650 subwoofer, a Denon AVR-X2000 receiver. Power 95 W per channel. So it can handle the load. It took a while but I entered it. Tried both receiver bass spread settings. For this reason I decided to use a small speaker. Let the sub handle the lows. Set the…

Pros
  • VERSATILE ACCOMMODATION OPTIONS. Place the ES35 on a shelf or speaker stand (sold separately) or wall mount it under your TV without covering the IR sensor. Use the left and right speakers in addition to the center speaker and enjoy the cinematic effect
Cons
  • Can't remember

Another winner from Polk Audio. Great bang for the buck.

I have had a Polk RM6750 5.1 kit for over a couple of years. While this is a very good mid-range system overall, the center channel speaker has always been a weak point in the system. I found myself constantly adjusting the "sound level" for the center speaker to find an area where the satellites weren't drowning out the movie dialogue coming through the center channel. I did a lot of research and called Polk before deciding on Polk. Slim Audio Signature S35 American HiFi Home Theater Center…

Pros
  • REALISTIC SOUND - The ES35's high sensitivity and 4 and 8 ohm compatibility deliver immersive, enveloping and lifelike music streamed online via Apple Music, Amazon Music HD, Spotify and more, and even from the latest versions of Dolby Atmos and DTS:x is streamed. AVR
Cons
  • Long Lead Time
