Does Anybody Remember Rocket Speakers?

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

He went to prison for defrauding children's charities ...

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. 

Wasn’t Danny of GR Research contributing to speaker design of some sort for them?  The audio circle forum is where I found some more info on them awhile back.  I have my old 750’s as my garage speakers now but those things have survived a few cross country moves and still sound great for what they are.  Too bad about the founder.  

Prior to this there was the Perpetual Technology 'thing'. I bought into the whole concept, dsp possibility for all speakers was going to be a reality, never happened. On the other hand, Dan Wright and my own diy mods brought that stack up to very high level of sound quality.
