Polk Signature Elite ES20 Review (Bookshelf Speaker)

This is a review and detailed measurements of the Polk Signature Elite ES20 bookshelf speaker. I purchased it from Amazon for US $349 a pair including shipping. I really like the look and finish of this series from Polk. Despite budget pricing, it looks nice and purposeful as you can tell...

That graph currently is privately maintained and updated by me. To see the latest version, look at the latest DAC review. My hope is that you all can generate it in a future release of the dashboard.

Hi @amirm,
Is there any news about possible upgrades to that ASR homepage bar-graph for 'Overall Hardware Ratings' ('Comparitive Hardware ScoreCard')?
(per my suggestion in post#130)

 

[amirm]

Not yet. We are getting a very slow start on Rev 2. But yes, it is the goal to have plotting capability to generate graphs like that.

Thanks for letting me know. I have been gradually updating the new database. Didn't know this item was missing from that far back. It is there now.

The Canton Vento 826.2 is listed at $10.000. It should be closer to $1000 for a pair

The Kali IN-8 is listed as recommended, but it has a broken panther

The original one measured by Amir was broken but later there was added a link in his review to the measurements and review of an intact example: https://www.audiosciencereview.com/...udio-monitor-review.10897/page-29#post-318617

 

[Svend P]

Ok, then the link at the end needs to be updated instead.

Thanks. Fixed.

I wanted to make this change but the link to the fixed version is only measurements and not a full review. The original review page has the link to the corrected version so I think I will leave it as is. Thanks for noting this anyway.

Elac Carina BS243.4 is completely missing from the list of speaker reviews

Elac Carina BS243.4 Review (Bookshelf Speaker)

This is a review and detailed measurements of the Elac Carina BS243.4 stand-mount speaker. It is on kind loan from a member and sells for US $999. Even though this is a speaker designed by Andrew Jones, it is a continuation of the line traditionally designed in Germany with much higher sales...

Thanks. Just added.

I might be blind (usually rely on my mom to find stuff or google..).
But where can I find these graphs you create in reviews?

Would be nice to have a interactive graph where I can just click on the product I would like to know more about.

 

[JEntwistle]

I noticed the Topping E70 and the Topping L70 are missing from the review database search, although they appear when doing a general forum search.

Is this is an oversight, or is there some reason they have been removed?

Are the SMSL D-6 and D-6s missing from the index?

I'd expect them to show up around here when searching for 'smsl' and sorting by Model:

SMSL D-6 DAC Review

This is a review and detailed measurements of the SMSL D-6 balanced stereo DAC with Bluetooth. It was sent to be by Shenzhenaudio and costs US $169.99. I like the compact enclosure even though there is a built-in power supply and balanced outputs. Included volume control lets you bypass a...

Dynaudio Excite X14 is listed as recommended, even though it is not recommended in the review

Topping L30 II

Topping L30 II Review (Headphone Amp)

This is a review, detailed measurements and listening test of Topping L30 II. It was sent to me by the company and costs US $149. It comes in a number of colors. Usability could not be better with positive clicking switches for power/pre and gains. Three gains are provided with the low gain...

This is review and detailed measurements of the Topping E30 II DAC. It was sent to me by the company and costs US $149. The single "SEL" button powers on the unit (touch sensitive) and selects input. Some combination of power cycling and that button lets you change menu settings but bets to...

Bump on the Dynaudio recommendation. Sadly it is the only Dynaudio that is recommended, and it turns out to be a typo.

 

[Propheticus]

Can we please change these:

Into links pointing to this: https://www.audiosciencereview.com/asrdata/ElectronicsallList?x_DeviceType=DAC+(Multifunction)

That would make the dashboard so much more intuitive to use (IMHO of course)

 

[RandomEar]

I'd like to repeat my remarks from a couple months ago that the colors are inconsistent:

• Text like "Total Devices Tested" is using the ASR color for linked text (#935717) but isn't a link
• The same is true for "Audio Electronics Reviewed 1135". "1135" isn't linked and shouldn't be brown.
• In contrast, "Review Link" is a link but doesn't use the common link color

I also agree with @Propheticus that clicking on something like "Speaker Amplifier (DSP)" in a result list should get you to a search window with an active search for this specific category. The same applies to headlines like "Audio Electronics Reviewed" - a click should open a search of all tested devices categorized as audio electronics. When just viewing the dashboard, I don't think many users realize that there is a searchable index linked behind the three of the four top headlines (Audio Electronics, Headphones, Speakers). It's pretty well hidden, currently.
