Jeff Fritz is about the only review worth listening too these days. He is the only one I ever see saying he likes one speaker better than the other. No dancing around the question.
I miss the relevance of Jeff Fritz's commentary. He states "Not having heard either speaker [Rockport Atria and Avalon Compas]", "Having heard many Avalon speakers at shows, and having tons of experience with Rockport Technologies". Disappointed, but not surprised that an assessment without an actual listening session has made it to this forum.
Goose, I'm still missing the relevance. The Compas is purported to utilize a different complement of drivers and electronics. Did he make his assessment on the pictures? I have spent years tweaking and modifying my system to obtain the music it now offers. Critiquing a component even with a limited listening session suggests merely a hint of it's potential, but to make comparisons solely from previous designs borders on religion.
