Rockport Ankaa and Anquila

Cmalak,

Thanks for the links. I had not not seen the Aquila review on Stereo Times before, and although there have been some other articles about the Rockport facilities on other websites, I had not seen the visit report from Jeff Fritz on Ultra Audio either.

I appreciate the links. Andy is on the cutting edge, and although all of his products are pretty wallet-busting (at least for this audiophile), I still like reading about his accomplishments.

Andy's products are first class. They measure well and sound great.

I almost bought a pair of Rockport speakers. Only reason I did not was due to side firing woofers and I have a realatively narrow room. I was concerned about bass cancellations when woofers are firing inward.

Any opinions?

Cmalak i had seen those reviews, but they do not compare to the attention that some others get in tas mag or other publications. Glai i do not know how thin your room is but mine are about 9' apart and there is definitly no cancellation. my room is about 15' wide.

Koegz i agree with you and that's why i said they are under-represented in the audio mags. no argument from me there.

Hey guys,

I'm debating between the Aquila and Altair. Do you guys think the Altair is worth 2x the price vs the Aquila? Or better put, is the cabinet of the Altair worth paying for?
