Doubtful the dealer will give a price break on the demo speakers. More than likely, the dealer won't want to sell the demos as he could lose sales waiting for a new pair to come in.
Poor man's Rockport Atrias?
I recently auditioned the Rockport Atrias and liked them alot. They seemed to do everything well including drawing me into the music. I also love their size which is small enough to fit into my narrow room. While I am willing to spend $20K on speakers I would of course prefer to spend less even if it means giving up some performance. Therefore, I am wondering if people have suggestions for other speakers I should consider auditioning that has similar qualities to the Rockports while also being a small floorstander.
Thank you.
Thank you.

I think you should audition more speakers just to be sure. This is a significant investment. Magico, Wilson, Vivid, Sonus Faber and many others - just to be sure. IMHO - the Magico S5 is a better speaker and the new Magico S3 might be a better foot print for your room - depending on your room size. I found the Rockport tweeter a tad bright after a while. YMMV.

I would say buy a Rockport Mira 2 speakers. The Mira 2 uses the Rocport custom made Skaaning Carbon fiber midbase, where the original Mira speakers use the Skaaning polypropylene midbase. The Mira 2 speakers sounded really good when i heard them. The Mira 2 with the new midrange driver designed by Rockport. The driver is also used in Avior. http://cybwiz.blogspot.com/2012/03/rockport-technologies-mira-2.html |
