Questions

Hi. What sub is matched with the ES20?

Asked by: Craigy61
The HTS 10 Subwoofer is recommended with the ES20 Bookshelf speakers. The 10" driver is best suited to take over where the ES20 speakers roll off—making it a wonderful blend from speaker to sub. - https://www.polkaudio.com/en-us/product/home-speakers/subwoofers/hts-10/112606.html?dwvar_112606_color=Black

Would these speakers sound as good on their sides as upright? Does it matter which side? Planned use is front heights added to an existing 7.2 system of RTiA7/CSiA6/FXiA6.

Asked by: BenHead
Hello, the Polk Audio ES20 Bookshelf speakers are voiced in the upright position. They can, however, be placed on their sides and used as Height speakers. Which side you place them on will depend on their width apart and your seating position. The further they are apart; the tweeter may be best on the inside.

Our ES20’s will be here early this week.  Do they need a break in period?

Asked by: Dave Helbling
Hello Dave, Thank you for your purchase. Like most speakers, the Polk Audio ES20s will benefit from some break-in. Drives can be a bit tight in the beginning. With more playtime, the drivers will loosen up and tend to sound more natural with a wider soundstage. If you require any assistance, please don't hesitate to reach out. https://www.polkaudio.com/en-us/contact-us.html

Can these work with a wireless-bluetooth adapter?  

Asked by: Euriah
Hello, The Signature Elite ES20 is a passive loudspeaker which connects to an amplifer with conventional speaker wire. A bluetooth adapter would need to be connected to the amplifier powering the Signature Elite ES20 if it didn't already have one.

Hello,I am considering to run these in a stereo setup with yamaha wxa-50 and without a subwoofer. I have a very tight space. I will have 10 cm space with the top wall and 5 cm clearance at left and right side walls. Would it be OK?

Asked by: herdoga
Room acoustics and other factors will come into play, but I cannot think of a better speaker in our lineup better suited for your requirements.
