Difference between SL5500 and SL5505 tweeters?

Hi there,

one of the tweeters in my trusty RT400 speakers is broken. The RT400s have SL5500 tweeters built in. I am located in Europe and buying a replacement in the US isn't worth it for me, since with shipping and tariffs I could buy a whole new RT400 for the same money. However, here in Europe I can only find SL5505's.

My question is: Is there any difference between the models SL5500 and 5505 (I also found 5501 somewhere) and are all of them compatible with the RT400 speakers?

Thanks for your help!

Btw. I did already ask Polk's Customer Service, but they couldn't help me as they don't have the RT400 documentation anymore.

    They are the same but one can't go next to certain televisions

    Fixed it.


    If your TV is LED, OLED or even Plasma then you have no problems. Both tweeters will sound the same.
