| Help! Best amp for Rockport Aviors? Thanks for all the insight guys/gals,After a lot of auditioning, I've settled on the Spectral 400 RS monos and I'm thrilled. The Aviors need a lot of power which the 400s deliver compared to the 260. Soundstage and mid bass are amazing with the Av... | |
| Help! Best amp for Rockport Aviors? Also, I forgot to mention that my listening room is 12' (wide) by 18' (deep).Hope this helps Rockport owners out there. I'll report about my amp impression soon...J | |
| Help! Best amp for Rockport Aviors? By the way, the best placement I've found for the Aviors is:- 12" from the back wall- 8 feet between the speakers (measured from the inside of each enclosure ([]-----8 feet-----[] )-17 degree angle in towards the listening position- >= 10' list... | |
| Help! Best amp for Rockport Aviors? Also holy **** these speakers have amazing bass response! I guess I was starving them of breathing room...J | |
| Help! Best amp for Rockport Aviors? Hi paul79 and babybear,Thanks for the suggestions to move the Aviors closer into the room - that made a HUGE difference on bass response! Now I'm getting more of the slam that these speakers are known for. No need to improve on that front! Also to... | |
| Help! Best amp for Rockport Aviors? Thanks for the detailed response cycles2!My dealer is also an authorized Devialet dealer and I actually went through that same "simplification" exercise and ended up passing on the Devialets as my Spectral system sounded so much better with my C2s... | |

| Help! Best amp for Rockport Aviors? Hi babybear,Thanks for the advice. In your experience, what is the best placement for a ported speaker to get the good bass response? My C2s are also ported (but their port is a good foot higher than the Aviors) and I've never had a problem gettin... | |
| Set up for Rockport Aviors Hi Keith,I have a very similar room (albeit much higher ceilings) and I've been playing with Avior placement. Mind sharing your final placement?Jason | |

| Help! Best amp for Rockport Aviors? And yes, I purchased them used from an authorized dealer so I assume they've been broken in by now (and I have at least a 100 hours on them myself).j | |
| Help! Best amp for Rockport Aviors? Thanks!!Any general advice on placement? I currently have them place in a equalateral triangle (my listening position being one point of the triangle) with a bit of toe out to mitigate the "hot" tweater. Am I approaching this incorrectly?Also, I f... | |
| Help! Best amp for Rockport Aviors? One other data point - putting my C2s back into the system results in the "shouty" characteristic of voices that I was trying to improve upon (which the Aviors do) but they are less fatiguing to listed to and they appear to have another octave dow... | |
| Help! Best amp for Rockport Aviors? Al - I should also mention that this same "hot" and "lean" characteristic is also present in analog sources feed directly to my preamp. | |
| Help! Best amp for Rockport Aviors? Thanks Al!A bit more information for you - just had a dedicated 20 amp line installed for the system and have used the requisite Spectral/MIT interconnects/speaker cables since day one. Would you suggest an AC power conditioner (e.g. Shunyata, etc... |
