About AV123 Onix Rocket

AV123 Onix Rocket was a high-fidelity loudspeaker brand created and marketed by AV123, a Colorado-based audio company founded by Mark Schifter. The brand gained a reputation for offering performance-focused, attractively finished speakers at competitive prices. Products such as the Rocket floorstanding and bookshelf series were revered for their robust build quality (with features like thick MDF cabinets and real wood veneer), proprietary driver designs centered on Vifa ring-radiator tweeters and custom long-throw aluminum-cone woofers, and smooth, natural sound signatures suited for both music and home theater. AV123 sold speakers directly to consumers over the Internet, providing a 30-day in-home trial. While AV123 also produced the Onix and X-Series speaker lines, the Rocket series was distinctly recognized for combining value, sound quality, and aesthetics. The brand is no longer actively marketed, but Onix Rocket speakers remain respected in enthusiast circles for delivering high performance and reliability.
