Polk S55 vs S55E (S60 vs S60E)

Options
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.
