ROCKPORT TECHNOLOGIES

Orion – Rockport Technologies Newest Speaker Available for Audition at The Sound Environment
On November 17th, The Sound Environment held the North American introduction of Rockport Technologies’ new Orion loudspeaker (Orion to remain on display indefinitely). The Orion has been in development for more than three years and comprises a new cabinet design and all new drivers. Read more about Orion on Rockport’s website HERE.
The System
Our recent experience has shown us how good Cygnus and Orion can be by setting them as part of a very fine system. That system also allows us to evaluate new products. We consider many different products especially in the electronics realm before we decide what to offer our clients. We must do the best for you. We do not offer experimental new products from very small companies. We specialize in high-performance products from well-established companies that will help us support you.
The System now driving Orion consists of a Gryphon Commander or Pandora preamplifier, Gryphon monoblock Mephisto amplifiers, dCS Vivaldi Apex DAC/clock, Aurender streamer/server, Transparent cables and power conditioning including Opus and Magnum Opus, and HRS (Harmonic Resolution Systems) stands and isolation devices.

Rockport Technologies Models
Rockport Technologies offers six models. The main five models are Atria II ($38,000/pr), Avior II ($47,000/pr), Cygnus ($70,000/pr), Orion ($133,000/pr), and Lyra ($190,000/pr).
In addition, there is the Taurus, a low-profile speaker intended mainly as a center channel but would perform well as a stereo pair if a low profile is needed. The Taurus is $20,500 each with stand.
We generally have all models on display between our two showrooms. Call ahead to make sure you can hear the model you are most interested in and where it is located. Presently, Orion and Atria II are on demo in Omaha, and Cygnus in Kansas City. Taurus, Avior II, and Lyra are being reset and will be available for audition soon.
We have an excellent and longstanding relationship with Rockport. We have been a dealer since 2005. Rockport is in it for the long haul building slowly for a solid future. It took three years to develop the Orion. No new models or revisions are presently in the works.
What We Do For You
We do not have speakers lined up for audition or shuffle speakers in and out of a room. You can’t do that if you want to hear what the speaker really can do when properly set up in your home. Our focus is on the accuracy/realism of the musical reproduction of individual components and our individually curated systems. Our consultants are offered free tickets to live unamplified music performances to build their understanding of what live music sounds like. Reproduction of that sound is our standard for judging the performance of individual components and systems. We try to come as close as possible to the live event given the investment you choose to make.
We will deliver and dial in Rockport speakers anywhere in the United States. We call that dial SRI (Speaker Room Integration). SRI is a complex process requiring a full day by our two-person team.
Trade Up Program
We offer a generous trade Up program that allows you to keep improving your system over time. Purchase any eligible product and you will automatically join our industry-leading Trade Up Program! Enjoy your new audio gear and then within a year, you can trade it back for the full amount you paid towards a product that is at least twice the price.
