The Rich Acoustics speaker's not familiar to me, but I was busy in those days with grad school & starting a family

I remember listening to some Rich Acoustics speakers at a local shop. Don't remember the sound, but the cabinetry was fantastic. Alas I was a poor teenager with no hope of buying them. I often wondered what happened to the company. Almost never see any on the used market.
