YG Carmels vs Rockport Atrias

Two years running, I believe YG speakers were powered by Triode @Axpona. I could be wrong, there so many rooms.

I have YG Carmel in a fairly small room (12 x 15), they are phenomenal. Since they are sealed, they work well closer to the front wall than other ported designs. I kind of fell into these speakers, they continue to amaze me. I'd love to hear them with some other amps. That said, the few times I've heard Rockports I was very impressed.

Mt10425, Acoustic Zen has been showing with Triode at many shows, maybe that's what you remember.

I wanted to share an additional loudspeaker I am now considering as well, one which I would never have considered. I visited with a gentleman/audiophile who had a listening room just a bit larger than mine at about 12 x 15 ft. He had a pair of KEF Blades he was driving with Clayton M300s and an Audio Research Reference 5 preamp, and they sounded marvelous despite the smaller room. They were quite transparent and coherent, with the music seemingly completely detached from the speakers. At normal to slightly higher listening levels the Blades did not overwhelm the room. I may now consider a Blade 2 as well! Perhaps the sole front facing coaxial driver and the virtual point source technology make this larger speaker more than acceptable in smaller rooms. Interesting:))
