Rockport Lyra

I heard them today at the HK hifi show. They still sound like Rockports - slightly dark and smooth

Yes XV Fair comment --I've owned Rockports(Syzygy's) and concur on the sound evaluation--I drove them with Jadis Monos that alleviated 99% of that trait quite comfortably.

I did enjoy the speaker, however the Eton Drivers suffered from foam Rot as they aged-and with no original components still available I sold them.

They were a fine product though.

Further to your HKG experience can't say I'm surprised--seeing the choice of VTL's driving --those amps always give me the impression they are struggling to keep up with the music

I'd pass on those:P!

I wonder what does dark sounding mean? I see reviewers sometimes use that description.

Odyssey did an audition of the Rockport Lyra at a U.S. dealer. Perhaps he will comment on his impressions of the speakers.

I heard the Lyras when I was in Omaha in early May for the Berkshire Hathaway annual meeting.

I would say that these are Andy Payor's best effort to date and belong in the upper pantheon of cone speakers.

It will be interesting to see how the Lyra's compare to the similarly priced Magico M6's once the M6's start getting demo'd at major shows like Munich High End :skeptical:.

Listening to my circa 1977 Braun Output Cs with cast aluminum enclosures on a Mac 275 on my office system.

What's old is new again.
