Polk Audio Signature Elite POS30ELCENB ES30 Black Centre Speaker
Polk Audio 700-LS 7ā Vanishing Series 3-Way In-Ceiling Loudspeaker Cutting-edge design with audiophile performance never sounded so good. With the Polk Audio 700-LS, broad coverage and bold full-range audio is a breeze. Itās big enough to use as stealth mains, and steady enough to use as hidden surrounds or alternate-zone speakers. Big Sound Full-size speaker performance is built into the 7ā Vanishing Series 3-Way In-Ceiling Loudspeaker. It features a unique 3-way driver array with an extra deep well design, this is enhanced by a Cassini oval woofer mounted above and behind the main drive and tweeter array, allowing broad coverage with dynamic performance all from a small built-in. A Perfect Match Made to match the style and dĆ©cor of their surroundings, the Polk Audio 700-LS fits any setting. Its wafer-thin painted grille magnetically secures to deliver a transparent dynamic with unimpeded sound. Features This Loudspeaker is timbre-matched to Polk LSi speakers to ensure seamless speaker-to-speaker blending for systems that combine traditional and built-in speakers. Lower tweeter levels also offset reflective surfaces to cut the level in the exact 4-5kHz band where reflectivity destroys sound quality. Vanishing Wall Positioning limitations are no longer an issue with this loudspeaker. The Vanishing Wall Distance Toggle Switch is a custom audio control that adjusts the crossover to flatten response and tune out āboominessā without sacrificing deep bass response. Rich lifelike sound is the result with more flexible placement. Dual Band-Pass Bass Ports Eliminate āchuffingā for full range blending with broad coverage and deep bass. The Polk Audio 700-LS does this by utilizing smooth funneling for low frequencies around the driver array. Easy to Install Perfect fit templates are included along with a precision flange, (available) pre-construction brackets and a patented Rotating Cam. All of this comes together to offer secure, vibration-free installations.

I had bought these along with the Polk XT20 to compare them and see which I liked better.I powered them using a Denon AVR-760h to watch movies and listen to music. I have a 2.0 configuration (for now).I felt these were better than the XT20's because they sound more natural and warm. They both have good sound in mids and lows but the ES20s sounded cleaner and more refined. I am not sure if it is the power port. The XT20s have good clarity, but I feel the sounds don't blend as well together.Overall I would say the ES20 definitely edges out the XT20s but they should since they cost more. The XT20s aren't terrible by any means and at the sale price of $225 I think they are a great deal, but if you do not mind the price jump then its a no brainer in my opinion to ...Ā MoreI had bought these along with the Polk XT20 to compare them and see which I liked better.I powered them using a Denon AVR-760h to watch movies and listen to music.

The wood finish on the elite series is nice, although the front cover is plastic.I will most likely add the ES30/ES35 center channel and the ES55/ES70 floorstanding speakers in the future.

Great sound. Beautiful cabinet and design. Let it be noted, the speaker is larger than it appears to be. Itās a good sized speaker. Additionally, the speaker depth is also larger than expected. But it sounds great. Very clear vocal mid-range, clear highs, and very realistic. I have it paired with Polk S55 Signature towers for fronts and Pioneer Andrew Jones bookshelf rears, with a 12ā powered sub. This speaker holds its own with the S55 towers, and can handle a lot of power from my H/K receiver. Overall, the center channel is rich and vibrant, not too loud, and very balanced. They speaker is very clear and pretty natural. It is not sharp, harsh or tinny. It is probably a bit on the smoother natural sound than, a bright vibrant sound, but it creates beautiful sound ...Ā MoreGreat sound. Beautiful cabinet and design.

I have always enjoyed a good sound quality in speakers since i was in my teens. I donāt consider myself an audiophile but just want clean clear crisp sound. My wife and I listen to all kinds of music. I upgraded to these speakers from a bose jewel cube system. The improvement was day and night. I heard sounds in music that i was not hearing from the bose. The bass is clean and tight. The mids and highs are warm and crisp. They are also great in a home theater setup. If you match it with the polk center channel. I also have these speakers biamped which seemed to have opened them up a little more than just regular connection. This a great pair of towers for the price.
Just an absolutely gorgeous sound. I thought my old trusted Sony towers I bought back in 1996 were decent - man, was I wrong! Hooked these up to the same now vintage Technics amp - what a difference! Played Sarah Brightman's Fleur du Mal at first - didn't notice that much of a difference, but then put on some Chris Spheris - and that's when they opened up. I could hear instruments I didn't even know were there before. So detailed, yet not tiring. Deep, soft bass, more than enough for music, probably would be good enough for movies too without a sub. But it's not the volume of it that makes it so pleasant, it's the softness. Drums sound like "pooh" rather than "broom" and cymbals are crystal clear.Very linear frequency response - no matter what I did with the ...Ā MoreJust an absolutely gorgeous sound.

The Sonys needed a bit of a boost in both lows and highs - these Polks are just linear, just set the tone correction to zero and don't mess with them.Waiting for the pair of XT60s to arrive in a few days - want to compare them. The XT60s cost exactly half of ES55s, so don't know which ones I'm gonna keep. But regardless of that, these are absolutely awesome speakers. Just don't know yet if they're worth every penny :)
Beautiful esthetics. clean, crisp warm sound... I'm no audiophile by any means, but I've been a DJ and music lover for decades - I know what I like when it comes to sound. First challenge was my space. I live in a townhome and have multipurpose spaces. Our home theatre was not going to be in a dedicated space, but rather in our family/living room. The main floor is open concept so the kitchen and dining rooms are all the same space. I had very precise measurements to bring this to life. The speakers needed to 'disappear with the decore' as best as possible. And I didn't need the sound to be at extremes knowing I'll be rattling my neighbours. A little rattle is a good thing š.

Lastly, this was for music and movies - was I asking for too much with a conservative/reasonable budget? Nope! I pieced this all across a couple of months, checking for sales on Polk and local big box stores. I wanted the Signature Elites in white - no compromise. Patience prevailed and there is not a moment this sound system isn't working for pleasure every evening. I ended up going with the ES50's as LR, ES35 for C and ES15's for rear surrounds flanking the couch. Atmos was tricky, I'm used to in-ceiling in our previous home, but the build of this new house will require major work to create a clean look. So I decided to give the XT90's a try... Not bad at all, I did need to bump them a couple of decibels higher than my surrounds to make the upward firing experience work well. I really do wish Polk made elevations to match the Signature Elite's design. But the XT's just fit perfectly on top of the ES50 and ES15s. Long story short - I'm happy, really happy. The family loves it! The sound is what I needed. There is more than enough power available to me - driving with my Onkyo. It's level yet warm. I do not experience any fatigue, regardless of long music listening sessions or binge watching John Wick - You will not be disappointed.
Iām an older audiophile, after much research I found the ES60ās. Was a fan of Matthew Polk years ago but was apprehensive given the bass specs but in comparing to others in the price range the choice became clear. After getting them connected (used 14 gauge wire from my Yamaha ReceiverIāve been pleasantly surprised by the bass response. I have them in a āliveā room and while I had planned on buying a sub after playing Blues, Classic Rock, Metal, Salsa and a few Bob Marley songs Iām content with performance of the speakers.in all areas.Granted they donāt kick like speakers with 12ā woofers theyāre fine in my environmentI would recommend them and would suggest giving them a listen at home before running out and getting a sub
These little speakers have great sound quality. I tested them in an A/B stereo main speaker configuration against a pair of Design Acoustic PS8A speakers. Obviously they didn't have the low end of the PS8As, but they sounded crisp & bright in comparison. As surround speakers they are more than up to the job. The plugs in the binding post banana jacks were challenging to remove, but at least you only have to do that once. I bought a white pair & would have preferred the grills were white as well.I would recommend these and will look to Polk Audio for future speaker needs. I just wish they were made in the USA and not just designed here.
These ES20s are massive. I upgraded from Polk T15s and decided on the ES20 as opposed to the ES15 because of a great open box deal. They were listed as "Excellent" condition and arrived exactly as described. They sound absolutely fantastic, but they are so large. I'm using them for surrounds in a 7.1 system. They're great if you have the room, but these would be better suited as front or rear speakers due to their size. If you're looking for surrounds and debating ES15s or ES20s, go for the ES15s unless you get a deal and have the space. The included photo is a T15 on top of the ES20 for comparison.
So, I bought my first real set of speakers, Boston Acoustic VR-30's in 1993 and i absolutely loved them. Decades came and went, new receiver after new receiver and I always kept my VR's. A few years ago I finally decided to start looking for a replacement. The VR's were looking a little rough. After researching a number of brands, I decided to give Polk a hard look. They had a loyal following and seemed to offer value for the money. After 29 years I finally did it and bought a pair of ES-60's, ES-20's, and an ES-35 center and WOW! I had no idea what I was missing! They're clean and clear. I'm hearing detail in my music I've never heard before. In a word, they sound fantastic!Having said that, nothing is perfect. They're a little on the bright side for my taste but ...Ā MoreSo, I bought my first real set of speakers, Boston Acoustic VR-30's in 1993 and i absolutely loved them.

They're a little on the bright side for my taste but I expect them to warm up a little after break in. And I'm not a fan of attaching the feet to MDF (medium density fiber). It's a weak point in the cabinet design that has potential, if not expectation to eventually fail. So move them gently.Aside from that, if value and performance are most important to you, you will not be disappointed. We don't all have $5000 to spend on speakers and these punch way above their weight. I would highly recommend these at this price point.
