Reviews

Rated 5 out of 5 by LeBANG from My 5.1.4 Dolby Atmos Family Room 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 😉. 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.

Questions

have es60's, why the duel posts at the back of the speaker, is there a special/better way to connect the speakers?

Asked by: nathan t

The ES60 speaker provides Dual gold-plated 5-way binding posts. In addition to standard connection methods, the user can also Bi-Wire or Bi-Amp the speaker. Bi-Wire allows for speaker wire upgrades, whereas Bi-Amp allows for speaker wire upgrades and increased power delivery. Remember to remove the jumpers when Bi-Wire or Bi-Amp connections are made.
