Poor man's Rockport Atrias?


I recently auditioned the Rockport Atrias and liked them alot. They seemed to do everything well including drawing me into the music. I also love their size which is small enough to fit into my narrow room. While I am willing to spend $20K on speakers I would of course prefer to spend less even if it means giving up some performance. Therefore, I am wondering if people have suggestions for other speakers I should consider auditioning that has similar qualities to the Rockports while also being a small floorstander.

Thank you.

I would say buy a Rockport Mira 2 speakers.
The Mira 2 uses the Rocport custom made Skaaning Carbon fiber midbase, where the original Mira speakers use the Skaaning polypropylene midbase. The Mira 2 speakers sounded really good when i heard them.

The Mira 2 with the new midrange driver designed by Rockport.
The driver is also used in Avior.
