A Stunning Upgrade Over the Original

While preserving the iconic silhouette of its predecessor, Rockport Technologies has engineered the Avior II from the ground up. Integrating a new waveguide‑mounted beryllium tweeter, a redesigned crossover, and upgraded midrange and dual 9″ carbon-fiber sandwich woofers, this loudspeaker offers markedly improved transparency, resolution, musical flow, and dynamic power across its 25 Hz–30 kHz frequency span.

Precision Engineering in Every Detail

• Waveguide‑mounted beryllium tweeter
  Mounted on a carefully designed waveguide, the bespoke tweeter minimizes distortion and optimizes dispersion, especially at the crossover region.

• Triple‑laminated, constrained‑mode‑damped enclosure
  The Avior II features a 6″-thick front baffle, curved side panels, and crown‑top finishing for superior stiffness and minimal resonances.

• Seamless diffraction‑reducing geometry
  Generously chamfered edges and angled baffle transitions ensure clean frequency response with almost no diffraction artifacts.

• Individual crossover calibration
  Every crossover network is meticulously assembled with tightly matched components (≤1% tolerance) and fine‑tuned alongside its speaker’s drivers before leaving the factory.

• Premium custom drivers
  The carbon-fiber woofers and midrange are created in‑house using Rohacell‑sandwiched diaphragms, delivering both rigidity and low resonance.

Acoustic Performance & Listening Experience

Despite a nominal 4‑ohm impedance and 89.5 dB sensitivity, the Avior II excels even at modest amplifier power levels (≥50 W), offering a coherent, noise‑free soundscape that captures subtle musical textures.

Critics and reviewers consistently praise the Avior II for delivering tight, powerful bass, revealing midrange intimacy, and fatigue‑free highs. Stereophile remarked on its rich, full-bodied tonal balance—and singled out its deep detail retrieval as a signature trait. Extensive listening sessions (from jazz piano to rock) showcase how Rockport Technologies’ careful voicing makes this loudspeaker equally adept at nuance and impact

Design and Aesthetics

• Elegant silhouette
  The speaker’s raked-back top and gracefully curved side panels exude subtle sophistication and timeless visual appeal.

• High‑gloss finishes
  Available in pristine high-gloss black (with optional custom lacquer finishes), the Avior II is a polished showpiece as much as it is a high performer

• Subtle diffraction management
  Chamfered baffle edges and felt-lined front panels not only serve acoustic functions but add refined detail to the aesthetic design
