Just an absolutely gorgeous sound. I thought my old trusted Sony towers I bought back in 1996 were decent - man, was I wrong! Hooked these up to the same now vintage Technics amp - what a difference! Played Sarah Brightman's Fleur du Mal at first - didn't notice that much of a difference, but then put on some Chris Spheris - and that's when they opened up. I could hear instruments I didn't even know were there before. So detailed, yet not tiring. Deep, soft bass, more than enough for music, probably would be good enough for movies too without a sub. But it's not the volume of it that makes it so pleasant, it's the softness. Drums sound like "pooh" rather than "broom" and cymbals are crystal clear.
Very linear frequency response - no matter what I did with the equalizer, they sound better without it than with it. The Sonys needed a bit of a boost in both lows and highs - these Polks are just linear, just set the tone correction to zero and don't mess with them.
Waiting for the pair of XT60s to arrive in a few days - want to compare them. The XT60s cost exactly half of ES55s, so don't know which ones I'm gonna keep. But regardless of that, these are absolutely awesome speakers. Just don't know yet if they're worth every penny :)
I would recommend this to a friend!
