Ayre KX-R/MX-R's work extremely well with Rockports.
Amps/Preamps for Rockport Aviors
Hi everyone, I just ordered new Rockport Avior speakers a couple of weeks ago and they are coming next week. My current system is: ARC ref 75SE amp; ARC LS 17se pre amp; simaudio 280d dac and network streamer; Feikert turntable, ortofon cardenza bronze cartridge, and a boulder 1008 phone stage.
I am thinking about upgrading my amp and preamp for the Aviors. I was looking at the ARC ref 250SE as well as a used Boulder 2060. For the preamp, not sure, maybe an ARC REF 6 or a used boulder. Someone also suggested I look at a simaudio evolution 860 or 870. My one concern with the ARC ref 250SE is whether those amps will pair well with the Rockports or if im better off getting a solid state. I am not married to either tube or solid state (I had krell a long time ago before the 75SE and bought the 75SE becuase i thought it paired well with my Thiel 3.7's).
I am brand new to the Avior speakers and looking to get more out of them than my 75se, and would greatly appreciate anyone's views.
thank you in advance. Larry
