I've a pair of Polk RT55i's, I'm gonna be honest these speakers are pretty worn. So worn, that I had to b*tch to the seller because of one of the woofers was actually blown. Luckily the seller offered me enough money for a identical. Yes the seller said the both speakers worked fully.
I was originally bought these speakers as rears in my dolby atmos setup. Eventually I replaced with my Polk RTi6's because I fell out of love with the Polk RT55i's.
I hooked up these RT55i's to my Sansui and man, I had to crank the bass up, Unlike my Elac's, were I usually have to crank the bass down. Also the highs sounded like a toddler messed with a equalizer's sliders.
My project idea is to:
Stripe the pealing vinyl & Paint the whole cabinets white.
Convert the cabinets to sealed instead of ported.
Replace bottom woofers with passive radiators.
Transfer entire Polk RT35 guts to the cabinets. (I really like the sound of my Polk RT35's)
What's the question I'm mainly asking: Is this a good idea?
