Have you heard Rockport speakers?


I am beginning to become interested in Rockport Hyperion speakers. Have you heard any of the line? If so, what was the setup like and how do you describe your experience listening to them?

Thanks,

Bill E.

Wow! This is my favorite type of feedback. Passionate, personal and informed. I'm taking it all in.

Thanks,

I have been asked to post a followup describing my system. It doesn't seem to apply, since I am beginning my next quest into audio nirvana and lunacy. Therefore, I am prepared to build an entirely new two channel system around a set of speakers... Wilson Whamm's, Revel, Rockport. I'm beginning the journey for the biggest soundstage and imaging I can get within a human level of cost, say ,$100,000 for speakers, new or used and an equivalent amount for electronics.

I currently have a ML335, ML380S, Dunlavy SCIV's, PS Audio 600 and AudioMeca Mephisto II.

Thanks for your thoughts and experiences.

I've had the pleasure of speaking with Andy already and plan on going to visit next month, when my 20 year old ee student son gets done with the semester. I am intrigued by both what Andy says and his design dynamics. However, I am interested in the Sound Labs as well. Clearly more economic if I really like them.

What I don't want to do is spend year after year longing for what I'll do next rather than simply love what I got. I think this year I need to sort this out and get it done.

I just got off the phone with Andy. As before, it's great to speak with him. We also spoke of a set of speakers which he last made five years ago which have 7' horns and separate bass units. I am open to all possiblities, those included. It's wonderful to start out finally open to everything. I might even enjoy my business once again. It's been 1 1/2 years since I went to work. I'm thinkin...
