Words and Sound


Here are some examples of brands' names that sound rather similar to the sound of their equipment.

Hard/Cold/Analytical: Focal, Kef, Bowers & Wilkins, Klipsh, JBL, Wilson, Magico, Tannoy, Splendor, Yamaha, Altec, KLH, Triangle, Alta,Totem, Monitor Audio, Luxman, Krell, Schiit,

Neutral: Tannoy, Naim, Accuphase, Hegel, Pass Labs, Marantz, Rotel

Soft/Warm/Musical: Sonus Faber, Harbeth, Dynaudio, Elac, Vienna Acoustics,  Whaferdale, Audio Note, Gershman, NAD, Audiolab, SucGen, McIntosh, Denon.

Maybe, unconsciously, the founders created the brand names to send like his sound....

I find MA generally cooler compared to Sonus Faber, Harbeth...  Probably some MA models are less cold than others, also not all brands in each section are equally cold or warm and certainly some models of each brand could even be moved to other section. Sometimes generalisation is a necessary evil.

Is he not like an old Harley that left an oil trail everywhere it went? Why did Harley not make an after market diaper?

 

The old time Harley riders would carry a baby moon hub cap and put under the bike to catch leaking oil when psrked. :-)))
