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

I had a pair of NEAR 50Me II's and loved them at the time. It's my understanding that Bogen was only interested in the NEAR models with commercial application and made the decision to nix the rest of the NEAR line.
