Has anyone ever heard of these speakers? How do you think they would compare with LSi's?

    Huge following at HTF and AVS, of course the dealers get online and push them alot. Kind of hard to figure out who really owns them, and who's trying to sell them. I believe that they are made by the same company that put out the Swan Diva's not to long ago.

    This would cause me pause.....

    "All Rocket Loudspeakers by ONIX carry a limited 3-year manufacturer's parts and labor warranty...

    "AV123.com will exchange all defective merchandise at no charge for up to 60 days after the date of purchase. After 60 days the product must be returned to AV123.com for repair only and return shipping costs are the responsibility of the customer. "


    I always feel queasy when the warranty on ANYTHING is substandard for the industry. Also.. and maybe I'm WAAAAAY off on this one and this is 'standard' now... but my last impression was that Chinese manufacturing isn't quite up to snuff yet. I know the power tools imported from there are super cheap... for a reason. That a Delta drill press is 2-3x the cost of a Chinese-made model ISN'T just due to lower production costs. No offense intended.. as I said, I was simply under the impression the quality control isn't in place yet...?

    Their speakers look impressive. They also use Vifa tweeters. I haven't heard them but by looking at the pics, the LSi build quality looks better. I know once in a while the other forums like to get hyped up on one brand but take it with a grain of salt. Remember Nohr and Divas? I don't hear much about them anymore but I'm sure they're great speakes.
