I’m pleasantly surprised they pulled it of for Munich. I’m sure it will be awesome. Do you know the pricing ?

It appears that the Rockport Lynx and new Magico S5 2024 are priced similarly. I know the Magico is debuting at Munich HighEnd 2024, is the same true of the Rockport Lynx?

So this replaces the Cygnus?

Yeah, I just got a call from Casey at ne plus ultra, since I had shown some interest in the Cygnus a few weeks back when I went over there to demo the Lyra and hear the Atria II again after hearing them at the AXPONA. He was pretty sure it was going to be replaced soon, and yep, the Lynx is it.

Size and drivers looks like a step down from the Cygnus, but the cabinet is way better, though I would like more details on the damstif3, since it says its just a single piece of aluminum, I wonder if there's a cavity that gets filled with the goo? but technicalities will probably take a step up cause of the cabinet, so depending on priorities its probably an improvement.

Jon did a quick interview and went into some more detail about the chassis. I was curious since they were saying it was a single piece of cast aluminum what they were doing. But in the video you can see that inside it has lots of ribs like the Lyra/orion do on the outside of the inside casting, they then coat the inside and those ribs with the proprietary damping compound.

The Avior II with all Brinkmann setup sounded very nice this year...a real oasis of sound.
