Most overrated audio manufacturers?

Quicksilver ???, not in my experience.......huge value for the money and great sounding..... Mike is very helpful and accessible.

Beats, Bose, Oppo, and Emotiva

Souljasmooth,

Do you really think Oppo is overrated? It does get a lot of great press, but dollar for dollar it is probably the best deal in audio. My Oppo relegated my Esoteric DV to spare bedroom status.

Scvan. I think Oppo makes a good unit, but when people start comparing them to a Krell, or Esoteric then I think they are overrated. Same thing with Emotiva…good for the money, but by far the best

1. Atma-sphere
Amps that are suitable with 5% of all speaker systems."
This is unfair! This thread is about overrated products, not how wide a range of components they can be used with. Also, I have the MA-1 monoblocs, that can probably drive 30-40 percent of speakers out there fairly well (the big MA-2s perhaps 70 percent). Basically I think Atma-sphere is underrated, for example in Stereophile. At least, for me, with well matched speakers (Audiokinesis), this is the sound I love, every day.
