Our take on the Polk Audio Signature Elite ES 20 Bookshelf Speakers (Pair)

The Polk Audio Signature Elite ES20 is a pair of two-way bookshelf speakers built around a 1-inch Terylene dome tweeter and a 6.5-inch mica-fortified polypropylene woofer. They are designed as front speakers for a Dolby Atmos movie setup or as a stereo pair for music, and Polk's Dynamic Balance tuning aims for clear, natural sound without buzz or distortion. The rear bass port and cabinet size give them more low-end reach than small satellite speakers, so they compete with other mid-range bookshelf pairs on driver size and power handling rather than on extras. Owners rate them highly, and they suit listeners who want a versatile pair for both film and music.

About the Polk Audio Signature Elite ES 20 Bookshelf Speakers (Pair)

The Polk Signature Elite ES20 is a pair of bookshelf speakers for home audio. They can serve as the main front speakers in a movie setup, including systems that use Dolby Atmos, and they are also made for music listening, including high-resolution digital audio. The look is modern.

Each speaker has a 1-inch Terylene dome tweeter for high notes and a 6-1/2 inch mica-reinforced polypropylene Dynamic Balance cone driver for mid-range and bass. The cabinet is made of non-resonant MDF, and the anti-diffraction magnetic grille reduces interference with the sound. Power Port technology enhances bass response in a bookshelf-sized cabinet.

Connections are made through 5-way gold-plated binding posts.

Questions and answers

Do the ES20 speakers need an amplifier?
Yes. They are passive speakers, so they need a stereo amplifier or AV receiver to drive them. There is no built-in amp or wireless streaming.
Can I use them as front speakers in a Dolby Atmos setup?
Yes. Polk positions them as main front left and right speakers for a home theater, including Atmos systems, and they also work as a stereo music pair.
How much space do they need behind them?
The bass port is on the rear, so leave some distance from the wall to avoid boomy or congested bass. Solid stands or shelves help.
Do they come as a pair?
Yes, they are sold as a matched pair of two speakers.
Do I need a subwoofer with them?
Not for most music, but a subwoofer adds depth for movie soundtracks and bass-heavy music, since the 6.5-inch woofer only reaches so low.
