I've never listened to any of Sapphire's speakers, but they look like they'd sounds pretty good. I got a catalog in the mail for Tweeter that says Sapphire's 3-way tower speakers are on sale for $600 a pair. Doesn't sound like a bad price, though I don't know since I've never heard them.

Anybody have experience with Sapphire in general? What are your thoughts?

    I've only heard the demos at Tweeter. They sounded terrible, IMO. Even the salesman agreed, but noted that some customers love them. I'm surprised Tweeter still sells them. Are they being discontinued?
