Rockport Mira and Mira Monitors

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.

Is there any info on the web regadign these Rockport monitors?

I have just purchased a pair of Rockport Mira speakers and hope to receive delivery soon. I currently own Avalon Arcus and wanted something that was much more dynamic, had a firmer bottom end, but also displayed the musicality and soundstaging of the Avalon. I auditioned the Avalon Opus in my home and also heard Eggleston, Sonus Faber, and one or two others at dealers. A week long in-home audition of the Mira sold me. It has the features I was looking for, but it has something else that is hard to describe. When listening to an orchestra, it actually seems like there are different sections, each three dimensional, and with space between each musician. Rather astounding.
