Wilson Alexx V vs Rockport Orion

I agree. I have heard 3 Rockport speakers...Merak Sheritan IIs, Altair 2 and Rockport Arrakis 2 (active version driven by 2 sets of VTL Siegfried monos). I could absolutely believe the Lyra is amazing...and definitely agree a larger version of the Lyra would be sensational.

The Arrakis was effectively 2 Altairs stacked (inverted) on top of each other. I imagine something similar with Lyra would be pretty amazing.
Just to add on to what you said, the Lyra to my ears has better driver to driver coherence, better clarity and less tweeter fatigue / focus versus the Arrakis. What the Arrakis has is scale in spades.
