Polk Signature Elite S60

When California-based Sound United Polk decided to upgrade one of its best-sellers, the outgoing S60 floorstanders, it went all-out with the changes: new bass/midrange drivers, a new crossover, re-vamped internal bracing and a whole new exterior. In fact the only components it has kept in common with the older model are that unusual 25mm Terylene-dome tweeter, a cascading tapered crossover design, and the fact that the cabinet is — despite its newly remodelled exterior — still a bass-reflex floorstanding one.

Equipment

There are three floorstanders in the Polk Signature Elite range, but this ES60 is the tallest and loudest, and has the most extended bass.
