Polk Signature Elite ES20 Bookshelf Speakers Pair

Hi-Res Sound for Music, Movies and Games

The Polk Signature Elite ES20 Bookshelf Speakers are a Hi-Res Audio Certified pair built around a 6.5" mid/woofer and a Terylene dome tweeter. Polk's Dynamic Balance acoustic array and Power Port bass technology deliver full-range sound with detailed highs and effortless low end. They suit stereo hi-fi as well as Dolby Atmos and DTS:X home theatre.

Why You'll Love It

• Hi-Res detail. The Hi-Res Audio Certified Terylene dome tweeter reaches beyond 40 kHz for crisp, clear highs from ultra-HD movies and high-resolution music.
• Effortless bass. Polk's patented Power Port design smooths air flow for more output and less distortion from the 6.5" woofer.
• A wider sweet spot. The Dynamic Balance acoustic array and phase-optimised precision crossovers keep the sound even wherever you sit.

Under the Hood

• 6.5" mid/woofer. A mica-reinforced polypropylene cone handles midrange and bass with low distortion.
• 1" Terylene tweeter. The high-resolution dome extends response to 40,000 Hz.
• PowerPort vented enclosure. Gold-plated 5-way binding posts connect to nearly any amplifier or receiver.

CHT Insider Verdict

The ES20 is one of the more capable bookshelf speakers at its price, equally at home in a two-channel setup or as the front pair in a surround system. The Hi-Res tweeter and Power Port bass give it a lively, full-range balance, and the wide dispersion makes placement forgiving. For music and movies in one system, it is an easy recommendation.

Pro Tip: Give each speaker between 20 and 125 watts per channel, and because the Power Port vents at the rear, leave a few centimetres between the speaker and the wall for the tightest bass.
