Does Anybody Remember Rocket Speakers?

I just had an audiophile ask me about the brand Rocket Speakers. I found this site but not much else other than a few pretty beat pairs for sale on eBay.com. 

I hadn't thought of them since the 1990s. 

Do you remember this consumer-direct speakers from back in the day? They were like a lesser Axiom Audio or Aperion. 

Does this brand jog your memory?

i owned several pair in the day from AV123. I particularly liked the RS850's in my HT.

AV123.com was the brain child of the audiophile industry's Bernie Madoff, Mark Schifter. 

Ugh... 

He went to prison for defrauding children's charities with audiophile gear auctions if I got the story right. https://www.audioholics.com/news/av123-mark-schifter-indicted-grand-jury

Nope, 20 years probation. Story here.

He signed a contract with me (we knew a lot of the same people such as Howard Schilling and Bob Rapport) and he just stiffed me for $40,000. 

Then he tells me "why don't you come to Denver and I will buy you a steak dinner and let you drive my Porsche Boxster" 

For the record, I was driving a 1997 911 Turbo then. I just sent him a photo and moved on.
