Acora speakers at Axpona

RSF507, I own the SRC-1’s supported by Audio Research 6SE pre amp and 160S amplifier. My room is 15’ wide by 22’ deep. My equipment is on the narrow side of the room and the speakers are about 1/3 into the room. I’ve owned many different speakers (3 different types of Maggies, Sonus Faber, Klipsch, Tekton, Ohm) and have concluded these are my forever speakers. Prior to purchasing, I did A/B testing with Wilson Audio Sasha DAW’s and felt the Acora’s blew the Wilson’s away.  Incredible detail without being harsh. I’m astonished how low the bass goes with such a small driver and of course near zero cabinet resonance (granite). Acora’s are not for everyone since they are a very accurate speaker and will identify the flaws in poor recordings. But who of us gets into this crazy hobby to listen to poorly recorded music?  Cheers!

Were you able to listen to  Rockports before you decided on the Acoras? The Avior ii is in the same price range. I would describe the Avior ii similar to your description of the Acoras. Amazing detail zero harshness. No listening fatigue.

No, I have not listened to any Rockport models to compare, but have heard wonderful things about them.  

Looks cool. Wish I was there to hear them. They remind me of YG's initial models and older Rosso Fiorentinos which also used Scanspeak drivers in an ambitious enclosures.
