Rockport Avior ii vs Atria ii


Hi;
Curious of folks' impressions on the differences of these two speakers, aside from the bass. Specifically, how do they differ in the midrange? 
Thanks!

Atria II is tonaly thinner and plays on a smaller scale, however it has some of the same strengths as Avior II such as great imaging and detail without being bright, partially due to its incredibly inert cabinet construction. It's a really great middle ground between ultra high detail but analytical Magico and bold and emotional Wilson.

I would match them with your room size.  We used to a Rockport dealer and my favorite speaker in their lineup was the original Atria - something special about that speaker - but in mid larger sized rooms they might lack bass and the Avior would be better.
