SOLD OUT!
The RS550MkII Loudspeaker has been retired and replaced by the RS450.



What's new in MkII? The main changes here are new crossover networks and topologies that we’ve been working on for some time now. We’ve made some changes (mainly) to the woofer section, and this produces a more “controlled, or well-damped response" in both music and multi-channel configurations.

The classic RS550 is more of a “hard driver” (in the lovely sense of that expression) while the new RS550 MkII is more “refined or controlled." Both are perfectly adept at 2-channel music, though equally at home in an HT environment.


The two-way, three-driver RS550 design employs two custom 6.5” long-throw, low-distortion aluminum cone woofers to provide a bedrock-solid foundation for the phenomenal Vifa Ring Radiator tweeter. The RS550 can reproduce the entire musical spectrum--from lush, impactful lows to warm, engaging highs--with the authority and delicacy of far more expensive competitors. With its exceptional dynamic range and nuance-filled soundstage, RS550 is a fabulous choice for 2-channel and home theater environments alike. Spend a few moments listening to the RS550 and you might find yourself wondering why it's not our flagship loudspeaker.
