Continuing the journey through the history of Rockport Technologies loudspeakers, we come to the year 2008 and the release of the ANKAA. The ANKAA loudspeaker ushered in a new series of high-performance loudspeakers utilizing variable section thickness, constrained layer damped MDF enclosures. It featured a custom Audiotechnology carbon fiber sandwich composite cone midrange driver, the venerable Scanspeak D 30 tweeter, and a 10 inch side-firing woofer. Like its siblings, the ANKAA maintained a minimal frontal profile through the side mounting of its 10 inch bass driver, affording an unobstructed view into the soundstage.
