One of the finest loudspeakers in the world at any price. Listening to the Altair 2 loudspeakers most closely resembles attending a live musical event.
"One way to judge an audio product is how easily it makes you forget you're listening to an electro-mechanical reproduction of music rather than to music itself. By that criterion, the Rockport Altair is transcendental. I consistently had the impression of music-making coming alive in my room, not of listening to a hi-fi system. Not every loudspeaker that satisfies a sonic checklist of audiophile priorities - tonal balance, dynamics, sound staging, for examples -- rise to the rarified air that the Altair occupies.
Highly resolving, effortlessly dynamic, utterly transparent, and full in balance, the Altair is one of the world's great loudspeakers. In addition to this sonic performance, the Altair's build-and-finish quality is as good as it gets.
You should audition the Altair at your own risk: Once you hear its magical ability to conjure up musicians right in front of you, your listening standards will be forever altered. I know mine have."
