Hello jdandy. Yes they are black. I am very excited about these beauties. First thing I would say. I am amazed at how well they work in my small...12X14 room, without overloading, even at very high volume. I have the side firing woofers facing out and they sound much better this way. I've had some great speakers in this room....B&W 802 Diamonds and Thiel 3.7s. The Rockports are by far the most "room friendly" in my system. My room is dedicated and fully treated. I am using the Berkeley Dac 2 and it is an amazing piece, but I am anxiously waiting for my Basis turntable that I have on order.

Bruce - congrats on the Rockports. Thanks for the smooth transaction selling me the Classe CA-2300 amp! It should arrive today or tomorrow. Enjoy the Rockports and new TT.

A big congrats on the Mira 2s and the new Basis tt. Sounds like you are putting a wonderful system together anchored by the blue meters |

I liked this room and could see why people like the speakers. My concern would be that the Rockports are a little to forgiving, In the end I like the YGs, Magicos, and a couple of the Wilsons more.

These Rockport Aviors have caught my attention again; I'm thinking how they might sound with Plinius Gear.

Ivan...I suspect you will like the Rockport sound very much. I would think Plinius would be a very nice pairing especially their Class A amps. Andy Payor (Rockport's founder/designer/owner) uses Gryphon Class A amps in his demo rooms at Rockport and often exhibits with Gryphon Class A amps as well. Rockports are very revealing but also very natural sounding but they will clearly let you hear what are driving them (from source to amps) and the higher the quality of components before them, the more you will be rewarded.
