Polk Audio RT-55

Pair of Polk Audio's highly acclaimed RT55 2.5 way monitors fully updated with new Dayton Precision 1% poly capacitors in the signal path and Bennic/Solens poly capacitors in the bypass circuits, new updated silk dome tweeters and Acousta-Stuf cabinet damping material.  Basically the same drivers as the 800i but in a wider cabinet, so factually better bass production as a result.  These speakers have the new silk dome ferrofluid-cooled tweeter offered by Polk as an upgrade that is FAR smoother and has greater power handling than the original tweeters, the cheap original electrolytic and small poly caps have been replaced by Audiophile-grade poly caps and the damping material is far better than the cheap poly fill supplied by Polk. (See images for comparison of factory vs upgraded components and batting.)  Overall the speakers sound MUCH better: more refined and revealing. With dual mid-woofers, the RT55 is the finest bookshelf model ever produced by the Polk Company.  Polk never offered another dual woofer monitor after this series as it cut into sales of its larger and more expensive, but often inferior, tower models.  This pair is in excellent condition with the exception of missing the lowest rear narrow veneer strip on the rear of the speakers.  Additionally, the speakers have 2 small screw holes on their lowest side edges and bottoms where  wall shelf mount was attached. These flaws will not be noticed when placed on stands.
