Rogersound speakers?


Does anyone know anything about Rogersound speakers. I have seen a pair advertised in my area. (Model 3600) Are these related to the vaunted Rogers speakers, or is it just someone capitalizing on the name.

Thanks

The Rogersound speakers have absolutely no relationship to the famed Rogers speakers from England. Howard Rogers, an extremely nice and caring gentleman from Los Angeles, once owned a chain of audio stores -- Rogersound -- in Southern California that sold apeakers he had designed and which were ostensibly sold factory direct. It has been more than 12 years since I last heard a pair, and my only real memory of them is that they were very efficient with a lot of bass response. Later, several of the Rogersound stores made a significant stab at featuring high-end equipment, such as Martin-Logan and Audio Research. When The Good Guys and Circuit City -- among others -- entered the Los Angeles market with (at the time) extra deep discounts and extremely aggressive advertising, there was no way for Howard to compete and his stores ultimately went out of business.
