It's tough to say a whole company is overrated, but I'll take a stab at it.
Overrated: Wilson Audio, I only heard them sound good on 2 occasions.
B&W-i think this more do to their popularity, their have been times I've heard them sound good and horrible but never great.
Vandersteen-they have just never done it for me....most of time I've heard them they souded bloated and slow thru the bass, although for it's price I really liked the 1c.
It's some others I would name but I'm not..
Underrated-Wharfedale, Quad box speakers, Spendor, Legacy, Ohm, Tannoy, Klipsch Heritage series, Polk LSi, JbL,PMC, GR Research, Definitive Technology, Mission, Epos, Phase Technology
