Rockport Technologies Introduces Orion Loudspeaker

[Vinylshadow]

Orion is amazing and 90% of us would be extremely pleased with its performance , especially in average to smaller rooms,
but Lyra is just different animal.
The quietness of the cabinet is much better in Lyra so less coloration and much more quiteness.
There is no speaker I ever heard that is that "clean" performing. You simply hear cabinet coloration in every other speaker.
Also Lyra will work in a bigger rooms better.

But again. Whatever you pick you will be super happy.

According to Magico, you don't get cabinet coloration in their new S5 2024. But the concern is the sound is still too clean and sterile. Magico uses aluminum cabinetry, without the additional damping that Rockport uses.

It’s not just dampening that’s different. Magico uses lots of elaborate braces. Rockport does not have a single brace or screw. Only 3 cabinet parts (Orion).

Looking at the 3D drawing projection of the Magico S5 2024 on their website, you will see the application of what looks like internal dampening material.
