Thanks everyone ! I am very excited. My wife says I might be sleeping upstairs for a few months... !! I'll post more pictures as they arrive, get uncrated, set up etc. Then over the weeks (or months) as they break in & what I am noticing on the sound differences...
What I kept hearing in my evaluations before purchase was more transparency, more resolution, a coherency to the frequency response and just a precision to the timing. I do wonder if the Wilson's are better at dynamics and the height of the presentation. I am expecting to take a few steps ahead...and maybe a step or two back. The Wilson Maxx 3's are great speakers after all...
And btw, I'll soon be posting them up for sale...a great deal for someone...they are in perfect like new condition.
John, with the Altair, does Rockport suggest you try the subwoofer inside and out to determine best position or do they specify subwoofer to the inside?
I'm not John but I own the similar shaped Aquila. Andy Payor says that the speakers are designed to have the woofers (those are not subwoofers) on the inside - facing one another.
BTW - John I am deeply jealous. I promise you won't have any issue with dynamics.
Hi Frank750, I just don't know yet....but I am guessing Lasercd knows what he is talking about...I would have guessed outside...but I haven't tried em yet and don't have the manual.
I love that dynamics promise too !![]()
