Re: Rockport technologies

Rockport Merak looks beautiful. I'm sure they sound stunning also. @ $12,200/ Rs 7,32,000 sure's lot of money...

Re: Rockport technologies

Busy with a project, hence have not yet traveled to Bangalore. Will plan to do so soon however. As I stated earlier I am in no hurry as I am enjoying my Harbeths tremendously now especially with the addition of Skylla and m2tech clock & psu. I have also been looking into the possibility of a Harbeth 40.1 as well. Perhaps soon I will have a chance to audition this as well, albeit at the dealers place.
Cheers,
Sid

Re: Rockport technologies

I have added another speaker to the mix to be auditioned. The ATC SCM50 tower - passive. Dealer has them in stock so trying to work out a showroom audition first to get a bearing. I owned the scm19 for some time and really liked them, have heard the scm 40, so I have a general idea of the ATC house sound.
Cheers,
Sid

Heard the Rockport Avior today. Good speakers, open and clean sound. It was being powered by Karan Acoustics electronics.

Re: Rockport technologies

Someone I know is trying to upgrade from Y G Acoustics Anat III Professional Signature. I wish I could get these, alas my room is way too small for a speaker that size. A great chance to own the claimed "world's best speaker", have to watch it slip by :lol:

ATC is a good addition Sid, please try to listen to their active model too. It is meant to be like that.

The mind boggles at what 'upgrade' means at that price point..Magico? MBL?

If you are considering the ATC - then the PMC too could be considered.
This pair is to be in stock with the D & D - I suppose..

MB2 SE | PMC Loudspeakers

If you had a big room - this may be 'ideal'

MB2 XBDi | PMC Loudspeakers

Do consider them..hyeah:

Do you like this speaker ?
Have you heard it ?

In this case the 'upgrade' means Wilson Alexandria (that's what he is lusting for).

Any idea what he wants for them pls?

I know for sure he wants CASH. Kidding

I'll pm you the details.

YG ANAT III Pro Ref Sig Series TOP Ref Full Range Speakers | Full range | Madison, Wisconsin 53719 | AudiogoN - The High-end Audio Community
These are priced at $37k, but they appear to be a verII upgraded to verIII.
From my past experience Agon prices are amongst the lowest in the world so $37k would be a good indicative price, but I wont be surprised if they are significantly higher for a pair located in India.

Re: Rockport technologies

I also want to add the "new" B&W 804d to my list of auditions.

Re: Rockport technologies

Hi Sid,

Would appreciate if you keep posting in this thread post demoing the various speakers as & when they arrive at your place. Should be a good read am sure.

Are you sure ?

 

[ranjeetrain]

Re: Rockport technologies

Sid, I know you like B&W house sound. But wouldn't the 804D be somewhat of a downgrade from your SHL5?

This is all IMHO, of course, but that sounds mildly like a downgrade, unless he REALLY likes treble.

I'll reserve my comments on that When someone spends, they have the right to like or dislike what they like hyeah:
