So I bought I pair of Rockports...

[rbbert]

Definitely near or at the top of my WishList speakers, and I didn't even know they could look that good!

John, big congrats! I thought your system sounded wonderful when Lenny and I heard it. I hope these beauty's take your system where you are hoping it will.

Hi, you and Lenny are welcome back anytime ! I'd love to hear your system to !

I spoke to him a couple of years ago , and i understood he was interested in rockport , but i see nothing mentioned yet ,and its a by appointment only dealer/distributor not a shop where you can just walk in iirc.
And its not in amsterdam but in a village in the north, lloyd hilversum( Q 7 ) isnt in amsterdam either , holland aint that small

Thanks! I guess one cannot believe everything one reads! FWIW, they are listed as a dealer on the Rockport website.

It's a gorgeous looking speaker.

 

[rockitman]

They look awesome and bet they sound the same. Congrats !

 

[jazdoc]

WOW!

Those are spectacular looking. Congratulations! Can't wait to see what they look like in your room. Any thoughts about upstream changes, i.e. amps to compliment the new speakers?

 

[flez007]

I am about to hear a demo pair with the local distributor (previous Avalon dealer here) - I am sure they sound amazingly good! Congratulations!

Hi, yes I am considering a few things. 1st I just added a Shunyata Typhon to my Triton. Really surprising how power just makes everything better. I am also, but after the speaker settle in, thinking on a new preamp and phono stage. My thoughts here so far is the Koda K10 (have one on demo now) and possibly a Allinic H3000 (can get a demo in a week or two). I've loved my Nagra PLL and VPS (pre and phono), but I know better is out there....I am very open to suggestions. Thanks

Hi, they are now on a truck coming to my home. I suspect I'll have them on Fri. Then how to get 2 700lb crates up my stair case...this weekend. Will certainly post my thoughts (and a few pics) as they get set up, dailed in and broken in...

Thanks for all the well wishes everyone !!

 

[Bruce B]

I certainly hope you're not stuck having to move and setup these by yourself. I'd be terrified if I had to move such a beautiful speaker.

 

[JackD201]

Time to call the piano movers! I'm excited for you jfrech, keep us posted!

 

[fabinho85]

Congrats on these beautiful ppeakers. I really like the color you picked, you Sir have great taste

I hope we get to see some pictures when the Speakers are all set up.

Hi, you and Lenny are welcome back anytime ! I'd love to hear your system to !

Thanks John. Can't wait to hear your system with its new addition! Next time I have an audio get together at my place, I'll send you an invitation. We do a music get together (accompanied with scotch and food) every month among us music lovers up here in the Round Rock area.
