RT55 vs RT55i

mdevine

I am seriously downsizing in speakers. Going from RT55 to M10s.

I simply can no longer justify the large speakers with the few times we ever get to use them properly. Had child about 3 months after I bought them three years ago and we just had another 2 weeks ago. They need to go.

Anyone know what the difference is between the RT55 and the RT55i?

Thanks
Mike

I believe they are the same speaker (RT55 should be RT55i).

Wrong. They are different...subtle differences...but different. The tweeters on the two models are slightly different. The crossover on the "i" was tweeked a little. The driver material was upgraded/changed to blue from black, and the "i" had real wood veneer and more color options. However they should be pretty compatable sound wise.

Thanks for setting things straight!
