    Congrats on the Rockports! Hope they arrive soon.

    Haven’t heard Rockports with VAC. But I’ve heard them with BAT (sound was a little too dark and somewhat slow) and CH Precision which was outstanding. I would think the Boulder 1161 or 1160 would also pair well with the Rockports.

    Just a few options for consideration...

    Hi Ritmo

    I was considering the CH Precision A1 as well but will be giving the Soulution 511 a shot, on a swap deal.
