    New Rockport Loudspeaker: Lynx

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

    Machined Aluminum base for Rockport Cygnus

    You can get spikes for your Cygnus. Todd and Gale at TSE have experience and believe it makes a huge difference. Josh knows about it. It can get “tippy” if you’re not careful. If you really want to go next level tape the threads after you are sure they are in perfect position. I would not...

    Heavy is an understatement. I also had Cygnus before my Orions. They take some time to break in. Maybe 300 hours. They should be significantly better than the Cygnus. If they are still sounding congested something is wrong. My dealer had 3 people for 2 days making sure they were right. Even “...

    OK to be very clear I stated what their personal opinion was (and why) but they don't generally share it. No point. Josh and Jon believe that Rockport speakers because of their impedance curves (minimum 3 ohm) and sensitivity (90ish) don't benefit much from bi amping. They have customers that...

    You know the thing about them is that they would be happy to talk to you even if you’re not a customer. They LOVE this stuff. You might talk for 30 minutes and you’ll both enjoy it. I’ve learned so much over the years just calling up the various good guys in this business and never once did...

    Andromeda my information comes directly from Rockport. Give Rockport a call. Jon will answer. Ask him yourself. You can get 2 for $1800. They don’t really care one way or the other. They have no skin in the biamp or biwire game. They make speakers for customers who have different requirements. I...

    Ok. The standard set up is 1 pair of binding posts. There is an up charge for a second set. In the case of Orion and Lyra it is $1,800. They provide these primarily to customers who already have a biamp set up. With 90 sensitivity and a minimum impedance of 3 ohms bi amping with Rockports is...

    Well I guess 2 10 gauge cables may have less resistance but it definitely is great for cable manufacturers. RH really likes his cable set up. No point in arguing with him if you are a speaker manufacturer

    Standard is one set of binding posts. For an up charge you can get 2 sets for bi wiring. They don’t generally recommend this.

    I was just going by what Jon and Josh told me in a discussion about bi wiring. I specifically asked about RH setup. Harley is committed to AQ bi wire. They don’t laugh, they are respectful, but it’s clear how they personally feel. They will happily provide what the customer wants. No percentage...

    Alpha, Josh didn't "choose" to bring biwirable Orions to Robert. Robert requested them to use with his AQ Dragons which have main and bass cables.

    No details only a Ha!!!! when I mentioned Rons interview. I asked about Munich and they said they would try but time was tight. I didn't ask about specific details. As to bi wiring they are not believers and as Kris said bi amping might under some circumstances make sense.

    Kris, I agree. I just spoke with them again yesterday. They are really thrilled at where they are right now. There is a new product coming soon but they are in no rush. They do want to grow a little and build a new facility but this is just meant to decrease the backlog not to massively increase...
