Hello,

What is the difference between the european and american version of Polk Signature floorstanding speakers. The specification seems same, but I've heard there is a different setting by Ken Ishiwata in the european version. The european verison schould be 'softer' than the american verison. Do you know something about it? Btw, I am from slovakia in europe and here is the american verison much cheaper than the european.

Thank you verry much

    sound wise there should not be a difference. Should be just the finish.
    When I was a kid my parents told me to turn it down. Now I'm an adult and my kids tell me to turn it down.

    The US version is already soft sounding.
