Thoughts on the brand…

You wouldn’t expect a company as small as Rockport to employ such advanced speaker engineering, but any audiophile who knows his stuff will admit this small Maine company is arguably the best in the world in terms of engineering. The owner, Andy Payor, is a genius who started making hearing aids. As both a mechanical engineer and a materials engineer, he built the Rockport brand with ambitious performance goals, and the results are stunning.

Rap your knuckles on the cabinet of a Rockport floor standing speaker and hear how dead silent it is. When measuring the impulse energy around speakers most cabinets create minor vibrations which bring unwanted noise into your listening experience. This is not the case with Rockports cabinets, which are also shaped to completely deaden vibration and isolate movement to the parts that are supposed to move. The custom-made woofers, tweeters, and graphite carbon fronts are all designed with the same intention of purity.

Listening to a song on Rockport speakers is like peeling all the layers of the music back. It’s the real deal.
