Review: Polk ES35 Game Changer. - I’m extremely happy with the Polk Signature Series Elite ES35. From the moment I set it up, it impressed me with both its sound quality and its appearance. Dialogue is clear and well-defined, even at lower volumes, and it blends seamlessly with the rest of my system for movies, TV, and music. Vocals sound natural, and there’s a nice balance that keeps everything easy to understand without being harsh. The design is another big plus. The ES35 looks sleek and modern, with a clean finish that fits perfectly into my setup without drawing unnecessary attention. It feels solid and well-built, which adds to the overall premium impression. Overall, the Polk ES35 delivers excellent performance and style. It has noticeably improved my listening experience, and I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a high-quality center channel speaker that sounds great and looks just as good.
Review: Excellent sounding center speaker in a small form factor - I wasn't expecting much in clear vocals from a small center speaker with six 3-inch drivers. This one surprised me with vocal clarity. When building a home theater sound system, you should always build from the inside out. First the center speaker, then mains, then surrounds. The center is so important because 90% of TV/movies is dialog and 90% of the dialog comes out of the center speaker. Don't worry about "timbre matching" ie using speakers all from the same company, always get the best center speaker you can afford. The Polk has high quality sound, and high quality goes with everything. The Polk ES35 combined with a couple of small bookshelf speakers was chosen to replace an expensive L/C/R sound bar that just had a tinny sound. It is powered by a new Sony AN1000 in a 3.1 setup. Space was a major issue to fit it under a 55" Sony TV in an enclosed space. The Polk fit perfectly my needs and it completely blew the soundbar away in every way it could. Music, dialog, bass, clarity. The speaker is all plastic but I would rate it as well-built. It had a good heft to and the plastic was not thin and cheap. It is rear ported but because of the design of the port, there is a small cage that sticks out of the back about two inches or so. You can put this speaker flush against a wall or in an enclosed space and the cage gives the port room to breath. Anyone wanting to hear better clarity for voices from their TV will like this unit. It does exactly what a good center speaker is supposed to do, allow you to listen to the TV without having to turn the sound all the way up. It's clear at all levels, even low sound levels. Anyone looking looking to replace TV sound or even a sound bar this is a major upgrade for $350. I can easily recommend it.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: How does the signature elite differ from the signature?**
A: Hello, the new ES speaker series have new drivers and slight cosmetic changes. They are also voiced a little differently as well.

**Q: Tell me these speakers will sound a whole lot better than my Polk tsi200 and a sub. I’m thinking of a pair of these are they worth the difference**
A: They will definitely be fuller sounding.  I use a 15 sub with my home theater but they could stand alone.

**Q: Are these sold as a pair or individually?**
A: Hello and thank you for your question. The Polk Audio ES60 tower speakers are sold individually.

**Q: I cannot remove the red & black plastic to push banana plug. I tried different knives & have done this with many speakers. Is there a trick to it?**
A: I also had a difficult time removing the caps.  What I ended up doing, it worked quite well, was to use a very small screwdriver, one that I usually use for small electronics or eyeglass work (Flathead not Phillips of course), and used this small screwdriver to pry out the plastic cap and it worked like a snap.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Perfect addition to my surround system
*by B***O on August 12, 2025*

The sound quality on this center speaker speaks volumes! Pun intended. The speaker allows us to hear the dialogue better when using my entire surround system. It’s slim enough to fit easily in the entertainment center. It also looks ok if just placing on top of a cabinet under the tv ( our temporary storage solution) . Bought this for the price and the quality. Very easy to hook up.
