Rockport Aquila vs Altair


Good morning everyone.
Can you explain the difference between these two speakers?
There are nearly 50k difference musically speaking.
Thanks Cyrus

My altairs are 4ft 4inches off the rear wall. The listening area is aprox 18ft wide by 25ft deep. BUT the entire area is aprox 2000sq ft with only one interior(Side wall) wall. It is a very open design. Placing in a smaller area might work but they have a deep ft print. Also while I truely love them and would only consider a move to the arrakis, you maybe better off with say a magico which is sold in europe. the logistics of buying and shipping, wow. you could call andy and ask. he is easy to talk to and happy to help, maybe he has a better sollution like a customer in your part of the world.
I owned the altairs. They are great speakers. I also chose them over the magico's. I ran them with VTL siegfieds. Lots of tube power. I know andy uses Gryphon 150w ss towers. Bi-amped. As far as the altair being the best in the world, the arrakis may have something to say about that!
