Most overrated audio manufacturers?


Thoughts?

To Sounds Real....calling out Elizabeth for cynicism in your post, that ends, "Isn't that what we really want in America? To be told a bunch of lies?" Takes chutzpah.

As to the OP, I'd add any manufacturer that charges more than $100 for a meter of HDMI.
Ayre? Really?
I have nothing but good things to say as they were helpful and patient in helping me solve a hum problem.
Turns out it was my doing (placed my Oppo 105 over some ICs feeding my Ayre P5xe phono amp).
Ayre is first class all the way (they sound good too).
Really SRA? Stereophile use to be a real thick audio journal with much data and detail. Now it's just a shell not worth my time and effort. So, respectfully, I have disagree with you here. And TAS no longer captures my attention.

Also to throw Sennheiser products into the "scrap heap" is a joke. That just trolling as Elizabeth stated.
Actually I would have answered the B&W Diamond series and the B&W CM series. But I got the top of the line of both and ended up getting rid of my overpriced Thiel CS 3.7s. The 802D sound wonderful and the CM10s give you 90-95% of the same sound as the 902D offer. And with that the CM10 is the proverbial high fi bargain, Problem is many B&W users mate them up with mid hi Home Theater receivers. They like power and need hi end components. Yes BOSE is a marketing company and sounds low fi
