Today I ran across a pair of Onix Rocket 750 speakers at a pawn shop. I am on the fence about trying them out but wanted to see if I could get some opinions first. As far as looks go I am already sold. They are rosewood with gloss black caps and are in mint condition. Price is $500 which seems pretty reasonable. Does anybody know if they sound as good as they look? Is that a good price for them? I am just looking for opinions. I know that your opinion does not mean that I will like them. There is nothing to test them on at the pawn shop otherwise I would listen to them first.

    Great look, great price. Buy 'em.

    Do they come with the risers? Are they the 750 Signature model?

    I am not sure if these are the signature model or not. After reading some of the links among other things, I think I have decided against them unless I can beat them down on the price. I am looking to make some changes in my gear and I think I was caught up in how good these look.
