Just these about a week ago, they are awesome. I've hooked them up to my Marantz 2245 and Sansui Au717 sounds great on both. The Marantz really makes them shine tho.

I purchase a set of ES 20's. On your website you picture the speakers on stands. Specifically what brand / model stand do you picture in the advertisement ?

Would the es?20 be a good pairing with tsi200 powered by a Denon AVR S660H

These sound great. I paired them with a 1977 Kenwood amp and a turntable. My vinyl sounds awesome!

Excellent sound and depth for a bookshelf speaker. Just add a sub for a more full sound stage and you're good to go!

Absolutely amazed by these speakers. Compared them against similar sized KEF Q350 (purchased both sets of speakers and hooked them up with an A/B switch), listened to hundreds of tracks, did blind listening tests with everyone in my family and we all prefer the Polk Signature Elite ES20. I was initially excited about listening to the KEFs based on reviews I had read but the Polks have much better highs (without being too sharp/shrill) and have just as tight of a bass sound. I kept wondering "What am I missing? Why do the Polks sound better?". In the end I kept the Polks. Cheaper AND better (to my ears)

What a smart purchase. I bought these speakers after some research. I wanted a speaker to match up with my vintage 1973 Hi-Fi. The sound is accurate and clean. Bass is abundant and the highs are great..not shrilly. Thank you Polk for bringing my Vintage Hi-Fi back to it's greatness.

I own a pair of RT35i for more than 20 years and the sound that S20e offers is more clear and defined. I'm very pleased with my new speaker even if RT35i have real wood finish, but the highs are a bit mellow un comparison with S20e.

I love my ES20s, driving them with the latest Onkyo receiver. Sound is powerful and crystal clear. They are a little bigger than book shelf speakers but fit in my setup perfectly. next step is buying the ES10s for my rears. Thank you, Polk Audio.

I'm pleased with the purchase. These speakers sound more expensive than they cost. Deep and powerful bass. I use them with the Emotiva TA100 and I love this set. For my small living room, it is ideal in terms of sound quality and volume
