ES50

Great speakers. Running with Denon S960H and Polk ES30 center, 10 inch BIC sub and sound is balanced, precise and warm. One of the best looking speaker lines out there IMO and goes great with my modern styling. White color is absolutely beautiful in person, cool looking bronze-ish feet and magnetic grille is a nice touch. Cannot go wrong with these but I would pair with a sub if you like some bottom end.

These speakers with the PSW10 sub woofer have exceed my expectations for listening to music. The smaller size better fits my needs and I don't think I gave anything up in performance.

Great choice for budget enthusiasts

Worth every penny. Great sound, clear, full. It's amazing what sound these produce, even without a subwoofer, which I have. Definitely more efficient, the volume on the amp is lower, while the sound is louder.

Great Price with great sound.

Polk never disappoints. Great sounding speaker especially for the price. My first pair of Polk's was some Monitor 10's over 30 years ago. These are going in a spare room in a surround sound setup. I'm replacing some bookshelf speakers as my main L/R front speakers with these Polk ES50. I've only have them less then a week, but so far sounding great. Crutchfield has a special deal going on with a free sub woofer a PSW10 if you spend more than $500 on Polk speakers. So, not only did I get some great sounding speakers, I also got a brand new subwoofer to go with them. I've been adjusting the sound level on the sub to match up with the speakers. The speakers go down to 38 htz, so it doesn't take a lot of volume on the sub to fill the bottom end. Highs are great, I would say the low range on the mid's could be stronger. But other then that, sounding great.

I purchased these columns to replace my Polk Monitor 10 B's. The towers have the clarity, and with the subwoofer, I have the sound I need. At a great price.

Decent sound

Decent, clean sound. Connections are not great. They are in a small, cramped space with big screw heads, and the screws don't come all the way off. As a result, you have to try and get the speaker wires securely wrapped around posts you can't even see and hope the wiring doesn't come free while you're screwing down the screw heads. It took me more time to get them done than I care to say.

I bought these speakers sight unseen or heard. I called Crutchfield and after some conversation with Mulligan about speakers for my home, I settled on these. The arrived in 2 days in perfect condition and sound perfect, very nicely well-balanced sounding speaker. Beautiful construction to go with it

Polk Audio Signature Elite ES50

Purchased to replace my 20+ year old jbl s38 studio monitors. Bi amped on my Yamaha rxv6a. It's amazing how crystal clear the highs are and how tight and clean the bass are without clouding the midrange frequencies. Great with movies and probably even better with music. Been running all my old progressive rock albums through these and they have never sounded better. A steal at that price point. Funny how I purchased these 5 es series speakers to replace the jbl s series monitors that I purchased from Crutchfield approximately 23 years ago.

Great tower speakers

Bought these to replace older Polk Audio Monitor 5jr bookshelf speakers. They are a great replacement. I wired them using the Bi-amp option. Still breaking them in, but they sound great in a large living room. Aesthetically, they are slim and attractive.

Couldn't be happier

Amazing! Very pleasant sounding and very appealing speaker. Paired with my 150w Sony ES 3300, excellent, clear sound through the spectrum, including surprising bass for a pair of 5 1/4" drivers.

Great Bedroom Speakers.

I bought the ES50 for my bedroom. I thought it was time to upgrade my old speakers (Infinity reference 2000.5) that are 25 years old, to new speakers. Wow. I couldn't be happier with the Polk ES50. The sound is clean and clear and these speakers provide very good bass too. They fill the room with plenty of awesome sound.

SAN RAFAEL

Warm, balanced sound. Not too boomy or too flinty. I paired this with a Polk HTS-12 powered sub, as I wasn't fully satisfied with the low end. No doubt that sub is massive, and probably overkill, but I love it. The combination is really astonishing, especially at this price point. Running with a Harman Kardon AVR 1510 digital receiver, getting all my input data from an Optical line from an LG Smart TV is stunning. Cinema-quality mids and highs; devastating bass. Highly recommended.

Deceptive description

Product description is deceptive. No where in the description does it state that these are not "powered speakers". In order to use them you must have a receiver.

Hi Brian, we're sorry to hear about the mix up. We try to ensure our presentation is as clear as possible. These Polk floor-standing speakers are indeed passive and must be connected to a home theater or stereo receiver for power. Any order with us can be returned or exchanged within 60 days of the purchase. If you're looking for powered speakers instead, our Product Advisors can help point you towards something that will fit your needs. Let us know if we can help.

Great speakers for the money.Highs are really clear and not too sharp.Using 2 powered subs so bass is no problem.

Great speaker for the price

I had some smaller Polk bookshelf speakers that I loved, but wanted a little more power and wider sound. The Elite ES50s went on sale and they are fantastic. Look great and sound great exactly what I was looking for.
