Jospeh Audio Pearl3 or Rockport Atria

I am looking for compact floorstanders. Recently heard the Rockport Avior ($30,000) at show, and was immensely impressed. They are too big for my room.
I will go hear the Atria ($20,000) which seems attractively priced, relatively of course, and more compact. Wondering if anyone has an opinion about Atria comparing to another similarly sized floorstander, the Joseph Pearl3?

Shakeydeal, trolling is against Audiogon's TOS. I'd add to that trolls will never admit that they troll other members, and typically have many supporters. Your continued disparaging remarks toward anyone defending your target is classic trolling behavior.

Shakey, I don't know the history between you and Ebm, but I don't accept your definition of trolling and your disparaging remarks toward me and the other member. I am just commenting on what i've read in this thread on face value. That said, Ebm also posted one comment in response which should be removed by the mods in my view.

Why not STOP messing with this guys thread. He is just trying to get some info. There is more crap about trolling than people giving help and at this rate people will stop trying to help because of all of this shit they have to read through that has nothing to do with the subject.

There is no way they move more air. These are 2 X 8” vs. 2 X 10”. Rockport calls it 9” but it is basically an 8” driver with less excursion then the Magico 10”. It is the port you are hearing. You may like that sound, but don’t fool yourself into thinking you are moving more air. The S5 will also go lower and will play louder and cleaner. It is also more efficient.
