Set up for Rockport Aviors

Hello all, I’m in the market for new speakers. Rockport Aviors are on my list. I like accurate bass and I have limited room to move speakers around to optimize the bass. I currently have Vandersteen 5A’s and, of course, they have the ability to adjust the bass to accommodate one’s room without having to actually move the speakers. I’m a little worried about going with a speaker that does not have any adjustability to the bass – except by moving the speaker around. Looking for input from Avior owners on their experience in setting up their Aviors. My room is 22 ½’ X 17 1/2’ with an 8’ to 9’ foot ceiling (it varies). Listen spot is at 15’. Thanks for any input.

I will follow this thread closely. I love my Avalon Eidolon Diamonds but I have been wanting to hear the Aviors for some time. I'm crossing my fingers they (or other Rockports) will be at RMAF 2014, as I will be going.

My room is similar to yours: 21 x 15 x 9ft. My Eidolons work well with that size and the Aviors are very similar in size.

My room size is smaller than yours : 23'x14'x10' and the Aviors blend beautifully. I also have 2x REL G1 subs for <28 hz.

My apology for late responses - I have been having a hard time responding to the forums. The website says my name and PW don't match! I've had the same name and PW for years!

Anyway -

Zd542... what can I say I'm an audiophile.

Jfrech - I have enjoyed reading all your posts over the years! Thank you for sharing your experiences with all of us! I value your knowledge especially with the Rockport's. I'm going to send you a private message. Maybe we can talk by phone?

Philb7777 - I too am planning to go to RMAF this year and hope Rockport will be there.

Sunnyboy - I know that you are the official PAAS and I have great admiration for that esteemed title that you have earned! I've read all your posts. Thank you for taking the time to share your experiences. I have enjoyed reading your posts and have learned a good deal from your journey.

Thank you all for responding.

Keith - hope to see you at RMAF. Unfortunately from the RMAF website, I can't find Rockport anywhere on it this year.
