These used to be the biggest Rockport speakers. If I don't remember incorrectly they were two towers pr side with active planar subtowers.

Does anyone have any more info on them or an URL with info.

I wonder if there ever was made any pairs?

Yeah, thanks that would be great Wizard.

Any more news on this speaker. I also wonder if anyone actually heard them and can possible describe comparisons to Hyperion, Altair or Arrakis and finally if they were ever sold and could be picked up on the used market or still as a new speaker from Rockport.

I am interested.
