A bookshelf pair for the front stage
The Signature Elite ES15 pair serves stereo and cinema systems.
The Polk Audio Signature Elite ES15 pair is an entry point to the range's bookshelf speakers. Each cabinet combines a 1" Terylene dome tweeter with a 5.25" mica-reinforced polypropylene Dynamic Balance woofer. It can form a compact stereo system, home cinema front channels or a fuller surround pair than the ES10.
Each cabinet measures 19.1 x 30.5 x 25.9 cm. It can sit on stands or a suitable shelf, or use its keyhole slot for wall mounting; account for the bass reflex port and cable route. A stereo amplifier or AV receiver drives the pair through single gold-plated five-way binding posts.

Between the ES10 and ES20
The ES10 prioritises minimal size with a 4" driver; the ES20 moves to a 6.5" woofer and a much deeper cabinet. The ES15 sits between them, with a stated overall response of 44 Hz-40 kHz and Power Port airflow management. It is a practical choice where the room cannot comfortably accommodate larger speakers.
Sensitivity and recommended amplifier power are listed in the key features for matching an amplifier. For films, a Signature Elite centre and subwoofer distribute dialogue and deep bass to their dedicated channels. In stereo, pay attention to tweeter height and symmetry around the listening position.
