    I just skimmed the article. Any other notable changes other than internal bracing and cosmetics?

    I thought I read they had redone the crossovers. More efficient didn’t it say?

    They(SIG elite) seem to be 6ohm if I read it right. They do not dig as deep as the original so there is some differences.

    Hard to believe the Signature series has been on the market for five years already. Good idea to update them! The video below was posted recently and explains the updates which include cabinet structure, driver improvements, crossover updates, and some cosmetic changes. Pretty good refresh from what the video shows to justify the mild price increases...

    He blew right by the crossover updates.

    So this is the 3rd revision? I understand that in the us its called signature series. In Europ a ,i bought the signature e series last year. Ex s20e ,and the s55e, s35e. On my speakers there is already an hi res certified mark on it. So i am wondering if these arent almost the same that we have in Europa? Anyone knows this?

    This is the first real update to the cabinet structure, crossover, and drivers. The "e" for Europe version had a different cosmetic finish option suited to that market, but Polk also started selling those in the US market later too.

    If I had a Signature series system already, I wouldn't be concerned enough to think about replacing them with the updated versions.
