Q: Can anyone recommend stands for these speakers that are of decent quality but not very expensive? The Bowers & Wilkins featured here are a little too pricey for my tastes (might as well get towers)

A: Hello, may we recommend speaker stands from Sanus. They offer affordable options. One example attached. https://www.bestbuy.com/site/sanus-steel-foundations-series-bookshelf-speaker-stands-pair-black/2945495.p?skuId=2945495

Q: I am considering these for their cost but wondering about their sound quality and pairing with a 1974 kenwood reciever rated at 25 watts 8ohm. These will be for music listening on vynil and some digital in a small room. I want a full range and volume

A: Hello, the overall output will depend on room size and quality of your existing 1974 Kenwood receiver. 25 quality watts will be more than enough to make the Polk Audio ES20 speakers sing.

Q: where do you purchase the stands

A: Hello, the stands pictured are Bowers and Wilkins STAV24 S2 stands.

Q: Do they come with stands shown

A: Hello. The Signature Elite ES20 bookshelf speakers do not come with the stands shown in the pictures. For details on speaker stands, we recommend speaking with a Best Buy sales associate.

Q: Sold in pairs?

A: Hello, Yes - the Signature Elite ES20 speaker is sold in pairs.
