Need Advice on NEAR HT speaker set


Hi,
I am new to this site and would like some input on a home theater speaker set that consists of several NEAR (New England Audio Resource) speakers and a Marantz MA500 mono block to drive the subwoofer. This is being offered to me for a reasonable offer, but the price hasn't been firmed up yet. The set consists of (2) SoundMAST front,(2) 10MBD rears, (1) 20MV center and a BOOM-2 Sub. I have searched the web and found very little about these speakers. Comments and advice on value would be appreciated.
Thanks
John

You need to hear these, or any, before you buy! Preferably in a demo that's setup well/correctly. That way you can hear what they do. Also, even if someone had good experiences with the speakers, you need to know whether they work in your setup/application or not! Lot's to know about acoustics vs. speaker setup, etc.
My past experience with NEAR's however were less than stellar personally. Basically, you'll not likely find any audio mag or professional reviewers who own them from my experience. Good luck
