Platinum Audio any info on them


I have a friend that wants to sell me a pair of Platinun audio reference 2's. I know that platinum went out of business awhile ago. Does anybody have any more info on these speakers? How do they compare with the big names now? What kind of parts do they use. What is a good price to pay for these. I was told that they were $8000.00 when they first came out and were dropped to $6500.00. Thanks in advance
