Xact Audio Showcases Rockport Speakers

I first heard Rockport's Avior speaker ($29,500/pair) in the VTL room at the 2012 CES where both Iand Stephen Mejias were impressed by their sound. They sound as good in the Xact Audio room at RMAF, driven by Absolare Passion Signature, zero-feedback, class-A, single-ended power amps ($48,500/pair). But contributing to the sound was the intriguing room treatment that you can see on the wall, cardboard diffusors that Xact calls the MIO and sells for $99/12 square feet.

Source in this room was the BEAT MagDrive turntable ($34,000), fitted with a Schröder LT tonearm ($9900) and a Lyra Atlas cartridge ($9500), amplified by an Allnic H3000 phono stage ($11,900) and an Absolare Passion Signature line stage ($32,500).
