Have you heard Rockport speakers?


I am beginning to become interested in Rockport Hyperion speakers. Have you heard any of the line? If so, what was the setup like and how do you describe your experience listening to them?

Thanks,

I've had the pleasure of speaking with Andy already and plan on going to visit next month, when my 20 year old ee student son gets done with the semester. I am intrigued by both what Andy says and his design dynamics. However, I am interested in the Sound Labs as well. Clearly more economic if I really like them.

What I don't want to do is spend year after year longing for what I'll do next rather than simply love what I got. I think this year I need to sort this out and get it done.

Bill for your last paragraph: hear! hear! I believe that you will have only pleasant surprises and enjoyment. Worth living for!

(Off topic, sorry, but enthused by your approach.)
Cheers!
Bill - I own the Rockport Antares and concur with the comments by "Mes". For me, this was a last purchase. I think you will enjoy your time with Andy, regardless of what you think of the speakers. The Hyperions will be at CES this year. They were there last year, but, as I understand it, in a bad room with an amp that was not broken in at all. This year I believe they will be used with the Tenor OTLs. You might also want to talk to Transparent Audio, as I'm aware that they have heard both the Wilsons and Rockports in their room. Good luck. Feel free to email me as well, if you have questions.
I just got off the phone with Andy. As before, it's great to speak with him. We also spoke of a set of speakers which he last made five years ago which have 7' horns and separate bass units. I am open to all possiblities, those included. It's wonderful to start out finally open to everything. I might even enjoy my business once again. It's been 1 1/2 years since I went to work. I'm thinkin...
