Our take on the Polk Audio Signature Elite ES50 Floorstanding Speaker

The Signature Elite ES50 is Polk's compact floorstanding tower, built around a 1-inch Terylene tweeter and two 5.25-inch mica-fortified polypropylene woofers in a 2.5-way cascading crossover. Polk's Power Port bass technology and Hi-Res Audio certification aim at detailed, room-filling sound for movies and music without a subwoofer. It suits buyers building a multi-channel Polk system because the series is timbre-matched across models. Against bigger towers it gives up some low-end weight and output, but it takes less floor space and is easier to drive.

Pros
  • Compact tower footprint for a floorstanding speaker
  • Power Port reduces port chuffing and adds cleaner bass
  • Hi-Res certified and timbre-matched to the Signature Elite line
  • 2.5-way crossover keeps midrange and bass separated
  • Easy to pair with the ES30 center and ES10 surrounds
Cons
  • Two 5.25-inch woofers limit deep bass output; a subwoofer still helps for home theater
  • Not as loud or dynamic as larger multi-woofer towers
  • Needs a receiver or amp with real power to sound its best
  • Finish options are plain compared with pricier towers

About the Polk Audio Signature Elite ES50 Floorstanding Speaker

The Polk Audio Signature Elite ES50 is a compact floor-standing loudspeaker for movies, gaming and multi-channel music. It uses a Dynamically Balanced acoustic array with a 1-inch High-Resolution Terylene tweeter and two 5.25-inch Mica-Fortified Polypropylene woofers. 2.5-Way Cascading Crossovers are built in.

Polk's patented Power Port bass-enhancing technology extends the bass port and gives it more surface area. This is intended to deliver louder, more musical bass with less distortion. The speaker is Hi-Res Audio Certified and reproduces sound accurately from AVRs and amplifiers that support Dolby Atmos and DTS:X.

The Signature Elite Series uses timbre-matched Polk components, so models can be mixed and matched. Adding the Signature Elite ES10 surround pair, an ES30 center channel and any subwoofer makes a complete 5.1 surround setup.

Questions and answers

Do I need a subwoofer with the ES50?
Not for music in a small room, but for movie bass the two 5.25-inch woofers only go so deep. A subwoofer fills in the lowest octaves and is worth adding for a 5.1 setup.
What amplifier power does it need?
It is a reasonably sensitive tower, so most AVRs can drive it. A receiver with solid power per channel gets more dynamics and cleaner bass out of it.
How does it compare with the ES55 or ES60?
Those larger towers use bigger or more woofers and play louder with deeper bass. The ES50 is the compact, room-friendly option in the same timbre-matched line.
Can I use it as a surround speaker?
It works as a floorstanding surround, but Polk's ES10 bookshelf is the intended surround pair. The ES50 is best as front left and right.
What is in the box?
One ES50 tower speaker with its grille and a set of carpet spikes and rubber feet. Speaker cable and amplification are not included.
Is it Hi-Res Audio certified?
Yes. Polk rates it Hi-Res Audio certified, and it is designed to work with Dolby Atmos and DTS:X receivers.
Where is the Polk Audio Signature Elite ES50 Floorstanding Speaker cheapest?
At Walmart, for $374.00, as of our latest check.
