Midrange - 5.25", custom-designed midrange went through 23 different iterations before the final design, which uses a mineral-filled poly-cone with a sophisticated motor system built to Rockport’s specs by Denmark’s Audio Technology. This handles frequencies from 140Hz–2.5kHz. Features “Symmetric Drive,” to reduce rise time by a factor of ten, resulting in greater linearity regardless of the cone’s position. Moreover, “Symmetric Drive” is lowers voice coil inductance, creating a more stable impedance and therefore simpler crossover topology, making the speaker easier to drive for high-impedance tube amps.

Tweeter - 1", Scan Speak Revelator motor system. Chosen for its low resonant frequency (1.5–2kHz) and ability to deliver the natural body of instruments.

Woofers - 10" Danish-made Vifas. As with the $91,500 Hyperion, the Mira’s 24dB-per-octave acoustic slope crossover is hand-built, and point-to-point wired with custom film/foil caps (made exclusively for Rockport), custom inductors, and Caddock resistors. All are spec’d at 1% tolerance, and the unit is epoxy-potted for mechanical stability as well as reduced microphonics.

Wiring - Internally wired with Transparent cable and connected via Cardas rhodium posts.

Enclosure - Danish-made enclosure of pure MDF. The front baffle is 3"-thick and the walls are 1"-thick. Seven individual braces lock the cabinet’s panels together, while at the same time creating separate acoustic chambers for each driver. The side-firing woofer housing has a 2" thick panel for the driver mounting surface and is rear-vented “with deeply radiused edges to prevent port turbulence.” (Payor believes that a properly designed vented enclosure allows for both lower driver distortion and higher motor strength, and can couple to room boundaries as well as sealed cabinets.)
The front-driver baffle uses a laser-cut Steinway-felt insert to reduce reflections from the midrange and high-frequency drivers. Long-fiber wool is used to damp the midrange enclosure, and a mixture of anechoic wedge foam and polyster is found in the bass cabinet.

Finish - high-gloss piano black polyester, an eleven-step process performed by the same European company that finishes Steinway grands.

Voilà les miennes à peine sorties du carton
Photo floue due à l'excitation, d'ailleurs les images en général ne lui rendent pas justice, élégantes, élancées, racées, superbes, tels sont les premiers mots qui me viennent à l'esprit tant pour qualifier leur look que pour leur première écoute

Félicitations

très belle prise que tu nous as fait là, vivement la suite

[reyle]

Merci Goan

Ce qui est sûr c'est qu'avec ce genre de pétoires, toujours pas importées en France, ce qui est plus que surprenant, je vais pouvoir dire et écrire à peu près n'importnawak .

[reyle]

Enfin mon flair me dit qu'on ne devrait pas tarder à en entendre parler enfin, car j'ai cru comprendre que la maison lors de sa dernière participation à Vegas a montré des signes de marketing plus agressif et volontariste et que, quelques importateurs français sont sur les rangs depuis belle lurette
