Three woofers in the largest tower
The Signature Elite ES60 pair serves stereo and cinema systems.
The Polk Audio Signature Elite ES60 pair is the largest floorstanding configuration in this family. Each tower combines three 6.5" mica-reinforced polypropylene Dynamic Balance woofers with a 1" Terylene dome tweeter. It provides a substantial stereo front stage and can anchor the main channels of a home cinema system.
Each tower stands 113 cm high and is nearly 40 cm deep. The cabinet is 21.6 cm wide, while the base spans 29.7 cm. At 23.6 kg per unit, decide on placement before moving it into position. Dual gold-plated five-way terminals connect to the amplifier; retain the jumpers for standard single-cable wiring.

What changes from the ES55
The ES55 uses two woofers of the same diameter in a shorter cabinet. The ES60 adds a third driver and states an overall response of 32 Hz-40 kHz, with Power Port bass reflex loading. Assess that change alongside room space and listening distance rather than judging only by the number of visible drivers.
Polk recommends 50-300 W per channel, to be considered alongside the amplifier and the room. The Terylene tweeter is Hi-Res Audio certified. For cinema, an ES30 or ES35 centre and a dedicated LFE subwoofer can complete the system without asking the towers to perform every role.
For both music and films, calibrate channel levels through the AV receiver after settling on stable placement for both speakers. The tall cabinets should not block screen sightlines or room circulation.
