Exclusive Polk Power Port for Deep Bass Extension Power Port is a Polk-patented design that smoothly transitions the air flow from the speaker's port into your listening area. It also extends the overall bass port, providing greater surface area to eliminate turbulence and distortion for louder, deeper, more musical bass impact. On average, Power Port provides 3dB louder bass output than conventional ported loudspeakers. |
Signature Details and Modern Styling Dual, gold-plated five-way binding posts ensure the most direct, efficient, and lossless connection possible. The speaker tower feet have been designed for both carpet and hard floors, are customized for improved stability and bass coupling enabling flexible placement. And Signature Elite's modern, bold look will make a statement with any home decor-available in stunning black, elegant white-washed, or contemporary walnut finishes. |
Five Decades of Speaker Engineering The Signature Elite Series is the culmination of five decades of Polk's premium speaker engineering (Est. 1972) and were designed at our original facility outside of Baltimore, MD. We rely on our patented Dynamic Balance Array process to pinpoint and eliminate electro-acoustic and mechanical issues before they become a part of the finished speaker. We're so confident of this process, that we back the Signature Elite ES55 with a limited five-year to ensure years of listening pleasure. |

ES20 Review: I live in a studio apartment in NYC so getting a 5.2 system was overkill by far. I bought these ES20 monitors to compliment a single ES60 in a bi-amp configuration. As standalone bookshelf speakers, these aren’t bad at all. The mods and highs are CRISP and CLEAN. As you can imaging the bass is not ground shaking but it is adequate. Where these monitors really shine is when I connect my ES60 giving me an immersive experience.
I ordered everything in white and omg they are a masterpiece. Zero regrets here except perhaps I could have gotten away with using the ES10’s as well
ES60: I’m operating a white single unit in a big amp configuration. One channel for the highs and another channel from the amp for the mids and lows. Much like my review above for the ES20, the 60 is crisp, clean and loud once powered up well. I initially had 80 watts going to the speaker but they seemed weak so now it’s 160 and perfect. Could probably be even better with more. More than adequate for an apartment. Again it’s not going to rattle your floors but damn this thing can get loud. I probably don’t need a separate subwoofer but that’s always an option if you really crave hair raising bass.
5 Stars all around for build quality, weight, appearance, clarity and loudness!

The ES20s are Hi-Res Audio Certified, meaning they can reproduce audio up to 24-bit/192kHz resolution. This means you I enjoy my favorite music in all its glory, with no loss of detail. The speakers also have a wide frequency response of 41-40,000 Hz, so I can hear everything from the deepest bass notes to the highest treble notes.
The ES20s are also very efficient, meaning they don't require a lot of power to drive. This makes them a great choice for people who don't have a lot of power available, such as those who are using them in a small apartment or bedroom.
In terms of sound quality, the ES20s are simply outstanding. They produce a wide, spacious soundstage with excellent imaging. The highs are clear and detailed, the mids are smooth and natural, and the bass is deep and powerful. These speakers are perfect for listening to all types of music, from classical to rock to jazz.
Pros:
Hi-Res Audio Certified
Wide frequency response
Efficient
Great sound quality
Affordable
Cons:
