    I'm glad they're not close to me!
    They're BEAUTIFUL!!! I bet they sound nice too.
    Most people just listen to music and watch movies. I EXPERIENCE them.

    I'd have a hard time buying anything made by av123 just on principle alone. Too bad that scumbag Schifter isn't still in prison.

    I've got a pair of AV123 EL525T towers and they are awesome.

    I understand your point of view, but since the company dissolved, your buying them secondhand, so buying (or not), isnt really helping or hurting him.
