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....

you think monitor audio are hard cold and analytical which models are you listening to because I've listened to both the gold generation 5 and I own the platinum 200 Gen 2 and neither of those models are hard cold and analytical maybe the equipment you have connected to them is the problem because those speakers are not hard cold and analytical sorry.

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?
