Yes. Either just sell or return your amp and buy better speakers. This system doesn't make any sense to me, I regret.Any thoughts?

Yah, that is why I mentioned that 50 or even 40hrz is likley fine at a desk.@ROOSKIE yes I am counting on Dirac to help with integration but choosing the crossover seems to be still up to the user. I am mainly just concerned with localization.
Yes, ideally I would get a better pair of speakers for the NAD M10 V2 but since I already blew my budget on the 3k+ amp, I think these Polk ES20 is the best value money can buy in this price range, until I have funds to upgrade to better speakers in the future. Actually I am thinking if I can get away with the even cheaper ES15 or ES10? Any thoughts?

Yes, personally I like the LS50 Meta design over the more "traditional" JBL I52, especially the white LS50 Metas would match with my white SVS 3000 MicroGreat thing is they are inexpensive so you could use them now and then try an upgrade someday and see if it matters (like some other smaller speakers such as the LS50 metas or Revel M105's, I also like the JBL l52's for another physically smaller sized option). If doesn't keep the Polks and return the upgrade attemp.
Having the larger floor standing '55s I can say the woofers have pretty good SPL capabilities, and would be fine with an 80Hz crossover, but given these are fairly deep speakers they are not ideal for desk use unless you have the space. Given they are a modular line this is basically the top of an ES55 that has been lopped off below the top woofer to make a bookshelf speaker, so its still just as deep and wide as the floor standing version.Quick question!
My NAD M10 V2 with Dirac Live recommends 80Hz crossover, which my SVS 300 Micro sub could achieve for my small office / computer desk but I am not sure if these ES20 are good enough for 80Hz crossover?
Since I can’t find anything else in this price range, if I have to set crossover higher on these ES20, it would suck to have to suffer with localization, which I am sensitive to.
Any advice?
Totally agree, the 13.8" depth is a bit daunting, even though I will use floor mounts on both sides of the desk. I think the 10.2" depth of the ES15 is more workable.Given these are fairly deep speakers they are not ideal for desk use unless you have the space.
Edit: I lied. Its actually deeper than its floor-standing counterpart, most likely due to the rear port.
Probably. But I want to say your name is making me hungry!Could the boosted high frequencies on the s15/s20 be fixed by simply turning down the treble on a cheaper amp?
Yes, mostly I would say - my ES20 would normally be in my main office setup which is a big converted garage in my garden - for the winter I moved them back into the house and have them hooked up as a front pair on a Denon AVR with customised Audyssey curve and they sound pretty great - though I switch between them and some Q Acoustic speakers that I would normally have setup with the Denon. When the weather gets a bit warmer I am planning of buying a MiniDSP for the garage to both correct the boosted high but try and solve some bass issues in the space.Could the boosted high frequencies on the s15/s20 be fixed by simply turning down the treble on a cheaper amp?
listening distance? and do you need very (too) loud volumes?I ordered based on positive reviews. Now it's time to buy an amplifier.
My budget: Speaker price. So $300-500
My style; Progressive Rock and all its subgenres.
Thanks...

The Audiophonics is better on paper at least but also more expensive, not so sure about the yamaha, it should be good and with all the features that the audiophonics or fosi doesn't have. (haven't done any research on the yamaha you see)I'm investigating Audiophonics. Unfortunately Denon is very expensive in my country
I've heard of Fosi V3. I've read incredibly positive comments. However, I have doubts whether it can replace these larger amplifiers. For example, aren't the Audiophonics model you recommend and some of Yamaha's models (for example AS 301) better than Fosi?

ps. seems the PA7 plus is cheaper @ hifigo than the audiophonics is where I am from. https://hifigo.com/products/topping-pa7-pa7plus?variant=43904725418223
sorry I meant the AudiophonicsHow is the Fosi more expensive?
I run my ES20 with my Fosi Audio V3 and it works great, gets very loud in my converted garage and sounds great IMO, it's a nice combination. I have this setup with a minidsp 2x4hd doing some room correction and overall this fairly inexpensive setup works great.
I do and I had it connected using the MiniDSP - but I have been moving things around so currently I am using this setup system without a subwoofersorry I meant the Audiophonics
just curious, do you have a subwoofer also?
