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.

Ok, something I want to ad to this thread now as grow more and more serious about buying these speakers..If you were looking to create a simpler more refined system, I say simpler in the context of what I own now-a 400cx Krell, VTL Tube Preamp, B&W 805s monitor. So....If one were to want to go in the direction of say an Inegrated Amp, or a tubed based amp.integrated, what would the Rockport owners out there recommend for this? In other words, do Rockports have a particular brand of SS or Tube they pair well with?

Ultimately in a system like this, I would want midrange that is just simply sweet as sugar and lots of extension, lively and defined in the highs but not overly bright, and had the ability to go fairly loud. Although, I find myself listening to less and 'loud' music per sei, but like to know it is available to me for the occasional wild mood swing. I am not expecting a monitor of any sort to wow me with Bass, this is something I am willing to let go of-a little.
Integrated amp? Try the Gryphon Diablo.
Andy Payor uses a lot of Gryphon gear in this own place.
I've been using the Antilean amps on a pair of Antares - Gryphon and Rockport are a great combination.
Jc - Yes, the Gryphon is very expensive. You don't give us any parameters, financial or otherwise, however. There is also the question of why you want to go with an integrated; or, more importantly, whether you are aware that separates generally will sound better. As for your question: at least consider the usual suspects (Ayre, Rowland, Boulder, Sim, etc, and ARC, CJ, VTL, BAT, etc). I doubt if there are many people using an integrated with Rockports. My other suggestion would be to talk with Andy Payor. Finally, audition amps at home, after you've broken the speakers in. Good luck!
Jfz-good point, I didn't give a ton of detail. remember though these are monitors so running them with an integrated makes perfect sense. I wouldn't run an integrated on most of the other stuff Andy offers.
