I was aiming to wait a few months in before reviewing these speakers however they’re good enough to review within a few weeks of ownership.
Bass is excellent I ran a frequency test and could hear the frequency start to fall off around 35hz. But is still audible at 30hz. When it hits 29hz you can hear the bass start to really dissipate. The bass is clean and thunderous. Not at all muddy or distorted. Also the bass does not drown out the treble or mids at all no matter how loud I’ve turned them up.
Mids are clean and non fatiguing. Mids and bass preform correctly without sounding like they’re drowned out at loud volumes. The sound is not warm or forward but just neutral.
Treble. Well treble is very detailed. Not bright or harsh just very neutral and pleasant. Depending on your stereo equipment treble can sound a bit sharp on the esses with female singers however all together this is a very smooth tweeter with even sound distribution. sound is not colored at all. Just very pleasant.
These speakers are very power hungry. You’ll want an amp capable of running 4ohm speakers. I gave these a shot on my onkyo budget receiver and the receiver was running extremely hot within a few minutes. However after plugging them into a 150watt emotiva power amp and processor the amp runs cool to touch at any volume level.
Speaker built quality is great and modern with it without the grip. The magnetic wrap around grill protects the entire top of the speaker and front from dust and the magnets they used are very strong.
These speakers are a steal at this price I’m very happy with the performance and extremely low distortion. After about 10 hours they really started sounding amazing.

High Definition Pinnacle Ring Radiator TweeterOver 40 years of tweeter innovation, design and prototyping has led to the development of the new 1" high definition Pinnacle ring radiator tweeter. Developed by Polk Audio, it delivers ultra-clear, crisp highs without unwanted coloration or distortions. The Pinnacle tweeter features a finely tuned waveguide that dramatically improves the dispersion of high frequency energy ensuring a broad "sweet spot" while the critically damped rear-chamber helps defeat any unwanted resonances. Hi-Res certified, the Pinnacle Tweeter is designed for today's two-channel music listening as well as multi-channel 3D audio found in movies, sports, and video game soundtracks. |
6.5" Turbine ConePolk developed the Turbine cone specifically for our flagship products to ensure the natural reproduction of the mid-range, to which human ears are particularly sensitive. The Turbine cone combines Polk's proprietary foam core and molded Turbine geometry which dramatically increases stiffness and damping, without adding mass. You will hear every detail and experience a smooth, detailed mid-range and effortless bass. |
Polk Newly Patented X-Port (ETF)Polk's newly patented X-Port incorporates an Eigentone Filter (ETF) offering distortion-free, effortless bass. Consisting of a set of closed-pipe absorbers that are specifically tuned to catch and eliminate traditional speaker distortions. X-Port ensures that the upper bass and mid-range are free of port and cabinet resonances for smooth, detailed audio. |

Reviews with images
Amazing clarity and impeccable packaging
I have been running Polk ES20s for just a short time and was very happy with them but seeing all the glowing reviews for the R200 I had to give them a goThe ES20s are amazing speakers but these R200s sound even better, it's like when your ears get clogged up because of elevation and then pop! You hear a lot more detail not knowing anything was missing. Another glowing review, I was lucky enough to pick them up while they were on sale but even if I paid full retail I would not be dissatisfied
