Can you try contacting Rockport directly? You have all the reasons on your side.
I can understand your frustration :(
You might want to contact your dealer or, as kzhtoo has suggested, contact Rockport directly.
Perhaps something can be done, including an upgrade (whether for free or at a lower price) if the upgrade is a simple parts replacement that can be done in Spain. If the upgrade can only be done at the factory, things may be more difficult.
Contact Qualitas Audio, they should take care of you, if not Ultimate Audio and Rockport need to step up, its their job to inform and also be informed.
I have called the importer in Lisbon, Miguel Carvalho. I have found a person that you can trust. He assured me that he had no knowledge of the departure of the Atria II. That in his experience, as happened with the Cignus, took 6 months to put it at the disposal of the customers, since it was exposed at the CES. Nevertheless he says that he considers a great mistake, to present it 6 months earlier. He has apologized several times and says he will send an email to Rockport.
Well, I give the subject by closed. If, when it is available, it really is a great improvement over the current one, I will try to make a change if I make a good offer.
In the meantime - don't let it ruin your experience. It is still a great speaker - IMO it is one of the best sub $30k speakers on the market today. It still sounds as good as the day you first heard it. A friend of mine also has a pair and loves them.
I've spoken to Polish Rockport distributor yesterday, who told me the Atria II will only be available in April.
Yes, I think it's the smartest choice.
Anyway, now I'm thinking of a new toy. Saturday comes to my house the Melco dealer in Malaga, with N1ZH, to compare it with my Synology NAS.:yahoo1:
Well I am very satisfied. If you are looking for speakers that are detailed, good for Classical Music and Jazz, these can be yours. Good bass (especially for a single cone of 9 "), in quantity and quality The midrange very informative and not tiring and the tweter extended . Great image in width.
If you look for some spectacular speakersfor rock, they can serve you but surely there are more shocking things.
This is an old thread, but I see where the OP was concerned that he got the MkI version of the Atria - right when the MkII version was coming out. The dealer should have offered a discount perhaps, but to be honest I prefer the MkI version and the Atria MkI is my favorite Rockport speaker. Something special about it...
