Polk Signature Elite ES15 Surround Sound Speakers - Hi-Res Audio Certified, Dolby Atmos & DTS:X Compatible, 1" Tweeter & 4" Woofer, Power Port Technology for Bass (Pair, Contemporary Walnut)

Had my eye on these for a long time. Had a pair of Polk rti4's for many years till I played them so loud one night I blew the voice coils. I replaced those with some Nuemi bs5's. For a little over a hundred dollars they are great speakers that punch well above their price. However when I finally caught these Polk es15's used/returned at a price direct from from the Amazon warehouse I couldn't ignore I took the chance. They are brand new though. Never been unboxed, I couldn't believe it. Even at full price they would be worth it. I listen to a lot of different genres of music, some on vinyl, some CD's, and digital copies/streaming. Everything sounds great. Clean, precise, full, and dynamic. Intrument seperation and stereo stage is very wide and detailed. Bass is well defined and tight. Mids are smooth and not too forward. Highs are clean and crisp without being sibilant or fatigueing. Cabinets are very well made and heavier than you would think. Very well built.

The Polk ES15 has very good to excellent soundstage & imaging. One of the best 5.25 driver speakers I have heard, in a very well-constructed cabinet with power-port technology. Very hard to beat at the lower price now offered. Had wanted ES20 but when I saw the dimensions knew it would be massively big at almost 14" deep - the ES15 at 10" deep fits much better on stands with less weight. Bass is substantial for bookshelf speakers, I would say the ES15 is more warm sounding than bright and can be enjoyed without sub for music. Magnet grills and nice walnut veneer finish, I would not hesitate to recommend. Been running them with a Class D TPA3255 and the match has been excellent. These also get loud without any clipping and are not hard to drive, correct sensitivity is 88db. Nice speaker that performs very well.

So I ordered a new pair and an Amazon “refurbished” pair. I’m leaving 5 stars because I don’t want this review to negatively impact an EXCELLENT set of speakers. Polk has really stepped up their speaker game again and it’s refreshing to see. BUT, The refurbished pair came in the correct box, but inside was a set of T15’s and NOT the ES15’s as ordered, (see pic). The new pair ordered arrived as described, so I’m able to rate them 5 stars. The highs are crisp and while I’m in a 7.2.4 set up, I cannot comment on the base response as I’m crossed over at 80hz to the dual subs, but the to front presence ES15’s have a fantastic build quality, sound great and look fantastic, (as opposed to say KEF’s which sound great too, but look boring af). Oh and these ES15’s compliment the ES35 Center beautifully as well. I’ll be returning these refurbed ones back and when I get refunded, intend to (without hesitation) will purchase another set for rear surrounds, but NEW this time! BTW, I’m replacing my 17yr old Bose AM16 system with these Polks and feel like I have significantly upgraded my surround system, even though those Bose sounded great still, I got an Rx-A8A and felt like a speaker upgrade was in order too. I have ZERO regret on these so far, although I did opt for Klipsch 12swi subs, (which are awesome too)! If I didn’t purchase KEF Q950’s for fronts before, I would seriously have taken a second look at Elite Polk towers. Keep it coming Polk! Affordable, quality and beauty, what a recipe!!

Amazing sound for under $300. Crisp highs and a punchy bass. Great purchase.

I got these with a Polk ES8 subwoofer for my 200sqft bachelor quarters and I have to say these sound amazing. The level of clarity is nice as well as the bass. Honestly surprised my neighbors haven’t complained. I don’t have to turn it up loud. So zero distortion, quality is superb. As for the cost, I don’t think you can find anything much better than these for the price. Setup was simple. I went with high end wires with banana clips. Plug and play setup with a Fosi Audio amp and preamp.

Incredible sound out of small package. Crisp high and unbelievable bass. Driving these with a 100W per channel tube amp and they handle the power wonderfully. Can really crank these up without muddy distortion. Not like a pro audiophile quality but adequate enough for this audiophile. They will not disappoint. Purchased the white enclosure and mounted on white wall in my man 250sq ft man cave and it fills the room. Aesthetically cool...

I purchased a 5.1 system from Polk: ES15 bookshelf speakers, ES10 Surround speakers, TL1 center speaker, and a PSW10 subwoofer. It replaced a Cambridge Soundworks set of speakers. I have had these for a couple years now. I'm not an audiophile but I find the clarity and range of the speakers to be great. They were very reasonably priced and the sub-woofer in particular performed well. I am driving them with a pretty basic Sony receiver (STRDH790) and it just works. An especially loud shoutout for Polk's service. I had an issue with my sub-woofer and they worked with me and made it right very quickly. I highly recommend the Polk products and the Polk company.

Purchased them for my home theater so far happy with a sound

PCからUSBで接続するディスクトップオーディオとして、DAC&アンプにAIYIMA A80、スピーカーにES15、ついでにスピーカー台、ケーブル含め７万切る価格で構築できました。 今までEdifierS880を使っていたのですが、音質は段違いです。 AmazonMusicでJAZZを聞くとウッドベースをはじめ各楽器の音が鮮明になりました。低音の切れが良いスピーカーだと思います。お手額である程度高性能のディスクトップオーディオを構築できました。 角が丸いフォルムが気に入りPolk ESシリーズに、大きめの机に乗る最大サイズからES15を選んで正解でした。

Super Design, mega Klang, einfach herzurichten... und dazu noch für den Preis! Deutlich besserer Klang als alle anderen Lautsprecher in diesem Preissegment, was ich bis jetzt gehört habe

Very happy with the purchase. Sound is excellent. Much cheaper to get it here than the local shops here.

High quality bookshelf speakers. Paired with my Fosi Audio BT20a pro they produce a deep natural sound. Build quality is second to none. Would purchase again in a heart beat.

Un excellent compromis entre la taille et le rendu sonore même si elles ne sont pas rodées. Après avoir essayé le modèle juste en dessous qui ne m'a pas convaincu pour min utilisation
