Most overrated audio manufacturers?

I used to mod Xovers I have so friend thst has Harbeth 30.1
What a joke the whole Xover parts are pathetic the capacitors are maybe $4 each if you are lucky ,not even an air core inductor
This is why they are very limited on output the inductors snd capacitors
Get over saturated. And the cabinet,.reflection city look how wide it is.
If it were not for the midrange material they would not be anything .the tweeter us not seas best by any means.a $$1,000 to build maybe ,for a speaker charged $6500
Thatis really taking it to the consumer !!

Just navel gazed the posts and one major point still sticks out that has already been highlighted in this blog: " overrated how and/or compared to ?...... " And ..." Thus overrated ..... because why?"

Intuitively any such posts are going to be absent of any empirical terms of reference that I can think of, and default to heavily biased personal value judgements

OK .. Fair enough.... But instead of just casually listing a manufacturer and its piece , let's use a rifle instead of a shotgun and actually frame the opinion under these general terms that boil down to,
- Here's what I heard / looked at,
- Here's what I considered, and
- Here are my conclusions.

Now we can have a meaningful discussion IMO.

Bose and B&W are probably the two that own more market share than they probably should in an ideal world.

Strange, nobody has mentioned Sony or Panasonic which I think both make a very wide range of excellent products.

It's really contradictive to the subject. Overrated is "higher rated" per given performance. Wide range of excellent products that are indeed excellent can't be considered overrated.
