Congratulations Francisco! Great looking speakers.
I like your listening space - looks like a very nice area to enjoy music.

Congratulations! The Atrias have to sound like "gloria bendita"Rockport doesn´t get as much attention as the Big 3 (Wilson, Magico, Sonus Faber) and I´ve never heard them so any impressions you have are more than welcome.
Yes Yes "gloria bendita" :woot:
I am still in the process of breaking and adjusting the new speakers. I will give my impressions later, when they have more hours.

Well, for me it's a nice place to listen to music. However, I do not know how I envy the guys who have a room dedicated to audio.
Especially those who do not live in an apartment, and can turn up the volume as much as they want (and that my neighbors are "saints

I don't have Rockports, but several Magicos with Beryllium as well. What I have experienced, is that the Berylliums - being such a hard material - do not change much. However, the other membranes will and getting burned in they are likely to balance out the tweeters much better.
S3 burn-in was no issue, but the S1 mk1 took about half a year with my listening hours to get there.

Was going to post this exact quote in bold. I also find that once the bass and mid-range drivers break in, the sound becomes fuller as a result, giving you much more continuity between the tweeter and the rest of the frequency regions.

Hi. Thank you for your congratulations.
I hope that with time the sound softens a little more. Anyway, after writing the post, I made a couple of changes in the polarity of the schukos on the wall (amplifier and pre amplifier). I thought they were in the right position, but no. The sound has improved a lot. I have also adjusted the position of the speakers slightly. In general I can say that I have never had spekers so sensitive to small changes. When I read, both in the forum and in magazines, as they changed a few centimeters the position and noticed great changes, I did not understand, my B & W needed major changes in position. With the Atria, now I understand perfectly.

Congratulations! That looks like a nice and comfortable place to relax and listen to music after a long hard day at work.
While it is nice to have a dedicated listening room (if you have the space and live in a house/big apartment), the aesthetics would be quite different with all the acoustic treatment which you normally won't have in a dual or multi purpose room.

Hi.
The speakers already have 150 hours and I think I can already put my impressions on them.
First, say that they are very sensitive to small changes, both in positioning and in the associated equipment (changes in the orientation of the schuko and in the direction of SR 20 Black fuses)
Speaking already, of the sound:
The Soundstanding is very good in width and good in height, both parameters are no better than
My old 802D. In depth it is not valueable, because they are very close to the back wall, but I heard them, in another system that there were 7 feet to the back wall, and it very good.
The treble are not more extended than the B & W, but are much sweeter, not hurtful.
The media, have much more information than in the 802 and have less weight, in the lower half.
The bass is almost as deep as the 802, but much more controlled.
Well, once said that, comes the part that matters most, as a symphony sounds in the Atria regarding the 802 ?, well much better.
I have a wonderful soft sound, but with a lot of information, the orchestra is a coherent whole, not a sum of instruments. When there is a tutti, the dynamics are very good (it was not bad in the 802's). I can turn up the volume and the sound is not returns more sterile (with the B & W, it was arid).
In short I would say a lot of information that never tires, you want to hear more and more music.
Against ....... well the orchestra with the 802, had a little more weight. I guess with the
Avior, this little problem disappears, but with 25 square meters in my room, I did not dare with them.
Happy, very happy with my Atria, I can only say ....... Thank you Mr. Andrew Payor.
