Rockport owners.

Why Rockport??  Of those of you out there that own Rockport I’m curious why you choose this speaker over so many others?
There are plenty of options like Wilson, Focal, Magico, Vivid etc. However Rockport has a cult like following. Why is this? Seldom do I ever find those that had Rockport and were unhappy. What is it that makes you a loyal Rockport fan. I’m considering them and just wanted to get some idea before traveling to listen for my self. My room is 18x25x18high

One reason that people keep their Rockport speakers is they are so heavy and difficult to ship,,,who wants to do that....easier just to say you love them and live with them....much like a marriage...

Lol,  all good ones are heavy. Hopefully there’s a better reason than that.

I am asking the same question right now about Vandersteen. The Vandersteen's seem to have a cult-like following as well. It is strange because you always see Wilson and Magico mentioned when you get these top speaker lists, but Rockport and Vandersteen not so much. I am curious why too?
