” s. If someone said that the Rockports of old — say, the Antares through the first-generation Altair — couldn’t give the listener every last drop of detail encoded on hi-rez recordings, particularly in the highs, I wouldn’t argue. In fact, after listening to the Cygnus, I can confidently say that it was altogether more revealing in the highs than any other Rockport speaker I’ve heard. I’ve always described the Rockport house sound as having a tonal balance that slanted down from left to right, as shown on a frequency-response graph: i.e., the bass is a couple dB higher in level than the highs. The Cygnus sounded more neutral. That line, if still not perfectly level across the audioband, would still be closer to flat. The bass is still quite strong, but now it’s more closely matched by the highs. The Cygnus will reveal everything on your best recordings — likely more than you’ve heard with the speakers you’re listening to now, whatever they are”
