Picking Speakers 20k-30k

@ronboco There was no update to the speakers. It was a price increase only. I bought the Atria II @$26k it then went to $28 and then $38k. I truly think that $26- 28 is a good price range for the atria. The Avior was also a good price ice at $40k. They are too close in price now imo. If I was in the market the Avior would be my pick for $7k more. It is interesting as the Cygnus only went up $5k in the same time frame. Hopefully if the can scale production up a bit and optimize work flow they can get better pricing out there. They make top notch speakers.

My understanding is that the difference in price to produce the two speakers was not too different.  It is possible they were not making enough on the atria compared to the rest of the line up. I do miss my Atria II. I do hope to one day own the Orion or Lyra. For now I am searching for my next speaker.

i am not sure where you are located? The dealer was right on with the YG summit they are not shipping yet. I do know a dealer local to me that has a pair of Rockport Atria II on consignment right now. These would be awesome speakers in the price range that you are looking. 
I used to own a pair of Atria II and they are incredible speakers. You might want to look at the Magico A5 as well. I did have a pair of Rockport Cygnus for a brief while and they are incredible speakers. I am not sure you can find them used at the price point you are looking at. It is rare to see Rockports show up on the used market.
