Great speakers to upgrade to!

I upgraded to these from a pair of Yamaha sperakers from the 80's which were reconed around 10 years ago. So needless to say these way outperfrom those speakers. I can hear with clarity all of the highs mids and lows as I am bi-amping these speakers to drive both the high and low drivers. What I didnt realize was how these speakers helped to balance out the lows that my sub put out as well. I would recommend these speakers to anyone who will listen if you are upgrading from some older speakers!

Excellent speakers.

Excellent sound reproduction at a very reasonable price. I listen to mostly classic rock, and these really sound great.

ES60: Best bang for the money!

First of all, this is not a Hi End speaker. This is just a fine domestic set of Polk Audio speakers aimed to those looking for good sound without the need to mortgage your house. From the money point of view, it represents a huge value. I placed my set in my living room,in one of the 5 systems I have at home, replacing old Klipsch's because I was tired of the upper register's exageration due to its horns. I was looking for something with a "tweeter" and that's how I finally decided to purchase these Polks. For the special price I got, this could easily be one of the best bargains in home audio today. I was contemplating the idea of buying some Tekton speakers costing 3 times, but I don't use this system a lot and besides the sound, appearance was also very important. The ES60 does everything it's suppose to do and it does it really good indeed! On my big living room, I don't need a subwoofer, the mids are really present and the highs are softer than the Horns loaded Klipsch. It's not a perfect speaker, but at this price range it could be difficult to find something better for the money. I also looked into the Jamo's, and even saving almost $200, I finally opted for one of the best selling speakers in 2023. Once you connect it and let them break in for a short period, you'll find out why this set has found a place on many homes in America and Puerto Rico. Polk Audio has done it again, and with the magnificent service of Crutchfield, you can't loose. ES60: a clear win

Why did I wait so long?

Just get them!! There's no comparison for me. I replaced B&W bookshelves with these and wonder why I waited this long. Sonic bliss and soundscapes, even from Mp3s via bluetooth which is amazing. Best 1k I've spent on audio, ever!!

Pretty nice

Nice mid-tier speaker with decent separation with bass-mid-treble. I'm pushing 85wpc..i wonder what they would do with 150? I like the design and that they have them in white. They do pretty well considering i have a 20 x 22 room that is hard to fill on a budget. Matched them with a set of Klipsch rp-160m which complements nicely. Hey Klipsch..how about some other colors!

Excellent, perfect

I do have the Signature ES60 which are just excellent. I decided to get the Elite's E60 as my retirement present. Does not matter how much you research these are the best speakers in the world in this prize range. They are impossible to match, the soundstage is so dimensional, you know exactly where each musician is standing and who is closer or farther from you. I was just listening to a remastered Camel CD and I just could not explain having my Denon receiver in pure direct mode, I could actually hear music going through my side and sounding even behind me. Crisp highs , deep pounding bass , no distortion at all, voices sounded like having a personal concert in front of me real as life. You could spend thousands more and I dare if other speakers actually on a blind folded test you could say, sounded better than the Elite ES60, on home theater mode really I do not need an extra subwoofer. This means if you are not rich you do not need to be. You will get everything you will ever need is you are regular, no rich , music purist kind of guy like me. The sensitivity, well design, pretty looking, 300 watts capacity, frequency response just kick away everything else. In my case even higher prize Polk's speaker line supposedly, high end would probably need a complete change in your set up , space and a higher power amplifier. the Elite ES60 to good to be true, came well protected in a double box, and Crutchfield three days delivery impossible to match even not living in US Continent

Polk ES60s for large room

After purchasing a pair of Polk ES15s, I was so impressed with the clarity and sonic range of the speakers, I purchased a pair of Polk ES60s to replace my 40 year old set of Epicure 2.0s for my large great room. The bass response, vocal clarity and sonic definition of background instruments and vocals is a revelation of what I had been missing in my music listening experience.

Excellent warmth, clarity and bass all in one

We auditioned seven floor standing speakers in this price range before settling on the ES60. We compared ELAC Reference, ELAC Q series, Kef, SVS Prime, and KLH Kendall and found for our room the Polk Audi ES60 was the best sound. There was something we liked about each of the speakers, but the overall warmth, imaging, clarity and bass of the Polk is what captured our ears.

Good but not quite the treble clarity I hoped for

There is lots to like about the Polk Signature Elite ES60, but it doesn't have quite the treble clarity I was hoping for and the white finish is woodgrain not gloss so I'm mildly (only mildly) disappointed. I'm using a pair of the Polk ES60's alone for stereo music listening in a moderately large room. I adjusted a multiband equalizer for quite a while to give these speakers their best sound for the room and my ears. They fill the room with good sound; no need whatsoever for a subwoofer. I bought the Polk ES60's primarily because I required a white cabinet and because the price is not bad. I thought the white finish would be gloss but in fact it's woodgrain white; I can live with that. The primary reason for my less-than-perfect rating is that the Polk ES60 speakers do not have the treble clarity of my Klipsch RP-280F speakers (purchased in 2016, similar price range). I keep trying to get the Polk ES60's to sound like the Klipsch RP-280F's; I've settled for close. These Polk ES60's are good and I'm keeping them, but I wish Klipsch made floorstanding speakers with a white finish.

Fantastic Customer Service and Love my New Speakers

This review is more about the people I spoke with and the customer service I received during my most recent purchasing experience. I Ordered my new speakers and received in 2 business days with free shipping as promised. Upon opening everything up, realized one of the grilles had a small flaw. I called Crutchfield and they were so nice and willing to help. They shipped me a replacement without any argument. As I was taking delivery of my new speakers, I found them advertised for a lower price on another website. Again, I contacted Crutchfield and spoke with another customer service agent and within a few minutes had confirmation that they were "price matching" the other site. Both times that I called; they were pretty quick to answer. The representatives that I spoke to were professional, courteous and so helpful. Crutchfield's representatives provided the kind of customer service that is very rare in today's world. Many of the products they sell may be found on other sites and pricing pretty consistent across the board. All things being equal, Crutchfield will be where I place my order. Their superb customer service sets them apart. By the way, I'm very happy with my speaker purchase. They sound and look great!! They are everything I was hoping for.

Versatile speakers

I recently purchased a pair of the ES60's and just finished with the break in period. Since I have limited space in my listening area, I needed speakers that would work well without installing subwoofers. I am not disappointed with this purchase. My AVR is also new (TX-R50) I am still learning about the AVR and it's going through the burn in stage. My listening is mainly Jazz, Blues, Bluegrass, Country, and classical with a little bit of swing and big band. Good clarity and soundstaging. A couple of weeks ago there was a temporary price drop. I called Crutchfield and there were no questions asked, and received a credit for the difference. Overall pleasing experience in purchasing and listening.

Phenomenal speakers

I've had Polk audio for years. I recently built a new system, so I started with Polk and Crutchfield. Every advisor was full of knowledge, which helped. I picked up a set of the ES 60's... I've had them for a month or so. They sound incredible. I biamped them ( they provide the hookup, might as well, right?). This opened them up even more. These are fantastic!!

Fantastic

These floorstanders are absolute monsters. I have never heard frequency response like this from 6" woofers. They can really go low, sometimes i do not even bother with my 12" subwoofers, and that is not an exaggeration. I will say, a word of caution to my lower powered AVR guys. I originally pushed these ES60s on an AVR rated at 70w. I recently stepped up to an AVR rated at 105w and I must say the difference was very apparent in the depth of the sound and the top end sparkle. It was much more significant than i expected it to be. I would strongly recommend you drive these speakers with least 100w RMS to ensure they are performing at full potential. I bought these ES60s along with a ES35 center and ES10 surrounds. my set up is designed as home theatre but i often find myself just listening to music on these due to how amazing they sound. Everything from thumping rap to soft vocal covers. These are a massive upgrade form the T series and will play anything you throw at them, and they will play it well.

Better than Expected

Purchased the ES60's with a small amount of trepidation, expecting to be somewhat disappointed. Boy was I wrong, these speakers are fantastic for the price! The speakers these replaced are 30-year-old Dahlquist DQ20's, I did not think the ES60's would even be close to being comparable. The POLK's have an extremely crisp sound with no harshness, imaging detail is very impressive. I wanted to go with the Reserve series at first, having a lower power receiver I chose the Signature Elite because of the Bi-Amp capability, The Legend series is just beyond my price point. I have other POLK speakers that have been very good, these are the best I've had. I have had the speakers for about 2 months now, not a lot of time to evaluate them, but I am very pleased. I have been able to re watch some Blu ray 4K movies and the sound placement is perfect with the action on the screen. I like these well enough that I ordered and recently received the ES30 center to replace a 3-year-old Polk center speaker. Still need some time to evaluate it before reviewing it. They are a very nice looking and solid speaker, when I unboxed the first one my wife said, "it's so pretty". So far, overall, I am very pleased with my purchase. I love the fact that Crutchfield provides the information to let me do my own research and make informed decisions, I have made many purchases over the years through Crutchfield and have never been disappointed with any aspect of the service they provide.

Well worth the money

Bought the es60 sight unseen from crutchfield because of their return policy. They arrived on time. The speaker looks amazing in white. Sounds amazing. And was very reasonably priced. They have good bass but at some point, when budget allows, I will need to add a sub.

Great Bang for the buck. I've been into audio for several decades and always wanted a really kick ass theater setup. Well guess what just arrived in the mail baby! I auditioned these on my inexpensive Yamaha receiver this morning. Very impressed with the detailed rendering low bass presence and crisp treble that snap crackles and pops! The great thing about these particular speakers is they compete in the mid tier range but unlike other mid-tier products where there are only left and right speakers available (maybe a center) this line also has bookshelfs that you can incorporate into a theater surround setup. The speakers have little feet that help to keep it upright. The Dimensions I measured without the feet are: 15 3/4" Deep 8.5" Wide 44 5/8" Tall and the feet stick out about 1.5" on either side and are sloped to stay low to the ground Some of the unique and cool things about these speakers are: - The ability to drive the woofers and the tweeter separately to produce a cleaner sound - The woofers are driven differently so the uppermost woofer produces more mid-range sound while the lowest woofer produces the most bass enabling each to perform it's task better. - All 3 woofers make bass and there is a unique port at the bottom that disperses the sound 360 degrees. The port is rather large and I would imagine it contributes to the immense bass production these towers are capable of. If you want theater sound these babies will do it. Most

Polk ES60

Beautiful sounding speakers. Low volume tv or background music is crisp and lifelike accurate. They really shine when at listening level. After having these a few days I bi-wired the speakers and the separation clarity went to a new level. It really is worth it to bi-wire.I am using them on a 2.0 110 watt receiver. For most music they clean and are perfect. I may add a sub for movies.

Just what I was looking for.

Very pleased with these towers. I enjoyed the s55's but wanted a fuller experience. The ES60's are just what I was looking for. Full soundstage with bright highs and clear mids. Bass is present and full as well. Paired with SVS Prime center and Prime Elevation for front and height as ES15's for surrounds. Enjoying my movies and music much better. This 5.1.2 set up is a pleasure for me. These towers are what I needed.
