This review appeared in Issue #214 but just got posted on-line. There is also a nice interview with Andy Payor, founder and designer of all Rockport sepakers: Rockport Technologies Altair Loudspeaker (TAS 214) | AVguide

Impressive review ..... has anybody had an opportunity to have a listen to these babies and evaluate them ... either at a dealers place or even better still at home.

Dealers place, yes, with Jeff Rowland Amps. The local dealer, who handles MBL had them a year back. BIG speakers. BUT very nice sound. I was smitten with MBL then, so did not really look hard on them. Sorry, no home testing.

If you have a chance to audition them, I would strongly recommend that you do so. Build quality is phenomenal and Andy Payor is great to talk to if you have questions about his products. He melds the rigor/discipline of an engineer with the sensibilities of a music lover. Great speakers. Great company. Last edited by cmalak; 09-02-2011 at 12:36 AM. |
