    Eh... I don't know. I think the tweeters are the same but the midwoofers are slightly different. Different cone composition maybe?

    The only difference that I might consider to be significant is that the 55i finish is real wood, whereas the RT55's have a vinyl finish. I seriously doubt that I would be able to hear any difference in the two. I have some 55i's and I like them alot.
