skullguise Posted June 17 Report Share Posted June 17 (edited) Some fun memories rehashed here!! Old Sci-Fi grooviness! BTW, I agree with you Steve, those concave Focal Tweeters on earlier Wilson speakers were way too bright. Even after they went with some dome tweeters, they made a move to metal dome and it screwed up the sound again. Now they are back to fabric dome, sounds much better. But still not worth the $. Focal has kept the concave tweeter, but they have improved the hell out of it IMO.... Edited June 17 by skullguise 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig Sawyers Posted June 18 Report Share Posted June 18 One of the finest speakers I heard were the Rockport Arrakis, in non-ideal conditions at an audio show. Using a pair of Upsilon power amps. Heaven knows how they got the speakers into the hotel room used for the demo at 900lbs each. At least it was on the ground floor!

swt61 Posted June 18 Report Share Posted June 18 I haven't heard any Rockport speakers, but in the 80's I was very impressed with their linear tracking table. Assuming it's the same company. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig Sawyers Posted June 18 Report Share Posted June 18 That turntable was a real beast. Apart from pneumatic suspension, it had a vacuum hold down for the record (with the pump in another room) and an air bearing linear tracking arm. The ultimate deck IMNSHO.
