美國 Rockport Club 俱樂部

[Leo Yeh]

I’ve used Rockport Technologies speakers as my references for the past four years, and have found Andy Payor, Rockport’s owner and chief engineer, to be one of the great minds in high-end audio. My session with a pair of his Altairs in a Rockport listening room in the winter of 2006 was a transcendent moment in my audio journey. So when I heard there was a new model coming that included a heap of Payor’s latest thinking on loudspeaker design, I was anxious to find out more. At this point, I know that the new Rockport Technologies Avior will be priced somewhere around $30,000/pair, and that it’s a four-driver, three-way design that breaks with recent Rockport tradition in featuring all front-firing drivers: two 9" woofers, a 6" midrange, and a 1" tweeter. Look for the Avior to hit the market this summer; here’s hoping a pair will find their way to North Carolina for a full review.
