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 opt for the ES20s over the XT20s.
I think the Signature Elite series of speakers from Polk look much nicer than the XT series, but to each their own. 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.

I have been a user of Polk Audio speakers since the mid 80’s. I am also a professional musician, and anything that colors or takes away from what instruments really sound like bugs the crap out of me. Polk gets it right, and the ES20’s are no exception to the rule. For a mid-sized bookshelf speaker they sound and look great. The only thing lacking is the lowest octave, which you’re not going to get from this size of a bookshelf speaker, but pairing them with a good subwoofer would make it perfect. Polk sounds so much better for the money than almost any other company’s speakers.

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.

Needs a center channel, but overall perfect bookshelf speaker’s, doesnt require a sub. Polk did an amazing job like always.
