REVIEW:
The Rockport Altair was 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, soundstaging, for examples—rises 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.

The Altair’s build-and-finish quality is as good as it gets. This loudspeaker is clearly the creation of a fanatical dedication to perfection in every aspect of its design and execution.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 standards will forever be altered. I know that mine have.
ABSOLUTE SOUND

DESIGN (ARRAKIS FOR YOUR LIVING ROOM):
My overall goal for the Altair was to make a full-range loudspeaker that would actually fit in someone’s home and do everything that a big, full-range loudspeaker should do but in a reasonably sized package. 

It’s a direct descendant of the Arrakis, and because it’s essentially half the drive-unit complement of the Arrakis, it shares a lot of the same technology. The idea was to deliver Arrakis-type sound for smaller rooms.  I use 3 different cone profiles—a 5¼-inch unit, a 9-inch unit, and a 15-inch, all for the Arrakis project. Those are the same drivers used in the Altair.
