When you're spending this kind of money, you owe it to yourself to audition them all, even if you have to fly around the country a bit (what's a $300 ticket when you're considering purchasing a $50K+ pair of speakers? ;-))
Me? The Alexia had just been released so I was not able to obtain a home demo, but I'm not for a moment sad I decided on the Vivid Giya G2s.
I've been very impressed with the Alexia when I've heard it at shows and dealers, and it's actually a bit less expensive than the Vivids, so it's definitely worth the time to compare.
I haven't heard the Rockports in a while, and the Magicos (at least those in a competitive price range) just have never done it for me.
