An anechoic jail cell to do the testing in?

I’m not sorry to see AV123 bite the dust.
I’ve been watching that dive for awhile.

The Audioholics review of their Rocket UFW-10 sub-woofer was pretty good, and I enjoyed my pair for the 5 years they lasted. They blended very nicely with my M22’s. However, the amplifiers started having quirky problems years later and it became very clear AV123 had no interest in their past customers. When I recently replaced the amplifiers with some Dayton units, I came to understand why the amplifiers died. They really pushed those amps hard to get the tiny UFW-10’s to play down at 30Hz. I now have a very nice pair of authoritative woofers that play to about 50Hz. My M22’s do almost as well.

As a “stand-up” company, Axiom benefits from this since I’ve splurged and upgraded my whole front array with M80’s, VP180 and an EP800. I want BASS dang it! I hope to get them in a week or 2.

This industry and consumers will be better off without them. I agree. Bringing unreliable products to the market while at the same time undermining legitimate competitive advantage in a variety of ways only hurt companies selling and providing reliable, quality products and customer service. In the long run, a business run such as they were is not only bad for consumers but for legitimate, hard working companies that are trying to remain competitive or in cases with small independent companies trying to enter the market.

Just look at their sales prices. Like the old saying "if it sounds too good to be true"....the sales prices where not indicative in how legitimate companies gain cost advantages over time like through technology, advertising, specialized labor/manufacturing or economies of scale in production etc as a few examples.

Dr. Horse, you may be right about the 0 time served, but not all judges and prosecuting attorneys are lenient with audio enthusiasts. Questions raised here about the audio quality available to imprisoned audiophile/criminals remind me again of this case .

Yeah Peter, but Sully was never heard from again. Maybe he didn't heed the warning?

Following this saga is just so f'dddd up. I looks like there was a victim with their latest vaporware which was the second generation rockets G2. So sad.
