Ya know, assuming Mark is guilty, AV123 still made decent products. I've heard and seen some of them. They sounded pretty good (I'm biased towards Axiom, of course), and they looked gorgeous.
Now, this was before the MLS debacle, so maybe things changed.
At least while he was allegedly defrauding his community and customers, he wasn't making really shoddy products.

Though it might be cool to see Cam “Pimp his Ride.” I can see it now "'Cutter Cam' and the “Starship Enterpoop.” Dated myself there didn’t I.

At least while he was allegedly defrauding his community and customers, he wasn't making really shoddy products. I heard the Rockets once and thought they sounded good but didn’t like the rolled off highs compared to the M80s. Bass also didn’t sound as good but in fairness it wasn’t an A/B comparison and not even in the same rooms. OTOH, there was a lot of spin going on in the AV123 community when Stereophile measured the Rockets to nowhere near the specs claimed by the manufacture. Can't find any links or I’d post them. Still doesn’t mean the speakers didn’t sound good and look very nice.

On the other hand, the things that the 'Axiom Fanboys' posted were backed up by the NRC measurements: flat frequency response, lower than average distortion measurements, good off axis HF response...
