The Polk Audio S55e model ranks second among the floor-standing speakers that are part of the Signature E line, released specifically for the European market. The speaker is somewhat different from its brother S55. First of all, this concerns the optimization of crossover filter circuits, thanks to which it was possible to correct the character of the sound, making it more accurate and natural. The design of the 6.5" midrange/bass drivers has also changed slightly, which are now equipped with a soft dust cap painted black. The drivers use Dynamic Balance technology, which eliminates unwanted resonances of the speaker membranes through the precise selection of their design elements and materials, as well as thanks to the selection of the most efficient geometric shape.
The 19mm speaker bezel has a matte finish rather than the glossy finish of the S55. The speaker sports a nice design with rounded edges that goes well with modern interiors.
The model has a tweeter with a lightweight, durable terylene dome and a ceramic magnetic system. The lower limit of the frequency range of such a high-frequency emitter falls into the midrange zone, which allows you to obtain a solid, clean and detailed sound, and the upper limit reaches 40,000 Hz. This indicator is ideal for dubbing Hi-Res formats.
The speaker is equipped with a pair of midrange/bass drivers with butyl rubber surrounds, ceramic magnets, 4-layer wound coils and cone diffusers, which are made of mineral-reinforced polypropylene. The drivers have centering washers made of Conex material that can withstand high temperatures. These drivers provide clear sound with excellent linearity and dynamics. The Polk Audio S55e has a proprietary bass reflex port with a conical splitter built into the bottom of the Polk Audio S55e body, which allows you to get rid of the overtones of the exhaust air and improve the bass response.
Reconfigured and upgraded, the signature Cascading Tapered Crossover guarantees seamless, seamless sound and an expanded polar pattern, and there are four screw terminals on board for bi-wiring or bi-amping connections.
The speaker body is made of MDF, has excellent damping and is mounted on stand legs. The speakers are protected by a magnetic grille and good anti-diffraction characteristics.
The Polk Audio S55e floor-standing model is perfect for multi-channel home theaters with support for the latest formats, including Dolby Atmos, and also performs well in conventional stereo systems.
