Rockport Mira and Mira Monitors


Anyone listened? I listened to the Mira's, but the Monitor is apparently new. Anyone seen or heard them yet?

Really nice sounding stuff, albeit expensive as heck. Miras are $13500, the new monitor is $5800.

Just curious if there are any Rockport owners out there, or if anyone is looking purchasing.

If you get a chance to hear the bigger Rockport speakers, take it. My friend just got the Antares, and geez, are these great speakers. He upgraded from the Avalon Eidolons, (which I used to think were the imaging and soundstaging champs), but the Antares are even better. These speakers literally disappear. And the bass response is unbelievable! Deep tight bass all the way down to 20 hz, and yet not even a hint of boomines! Impressive is all I have to say.

If I had the cash, I know what speakers I would be getting!
I may hold out for a listen to the Monitors which should be at the dealer in 3 weeks or so. These are really nice, and a very special speaker.
I have owned the Antares for several years, and have had no interest, whatsoever, in looking into other speakers since. They have been for me what I dreamt they would be when I stretched my budget (considerably!) to buy them: a final speaker (after 30 years or so of upgradeitis). I have not heard the Miras (or Monitors), but suggest you give them serious consideration. Andy Payor knows what he's doing.
thanks for the info...I may just do that, although I am not very patient. The only problem, which is a small one, is that his stuff does not have wood finishes, which in our home we prefer. But good sound can supercede aesthetix.
