I know both of these models have been discontinued and I have been using Polk Atrium45's for years. I recently purchased a set of Atium50 off ebay and have not received them yet. When trying to compare the differnces it seems they have the same exact specs other than the 50 has 1/8" more depth to the cabinet. I was under the impression that the Atrium50 was a noticably bigger cabinet and would give a better performance, but when looking at spec sheets they seem to be identical. What am I missing?

    It looks from the specs that the differences in Atriums happen in the 55 and 65 models going to larger woofer sizes. I don't recall when the 50 came out but it may have simply been a newer version of the 45.

    Those are the responses he gives just after he wakes up from his coffin for his late night feeding on unsuspecting forum members..
