Most overrated audio manufacturers?

If you’re going to crap on a brand at least spell it correctly, it’s McIntosh.  Otherwise you’re just bashing Apple for some reason.

Hey it’s 2024 now!

Technology has improved. Overrated products are feeling the crunch more than ever..

Not Ohm. Not KEF. Not Fritz.

mbl:  unique and worth every penny if you got the right room.  Big if!!

Sonus Faber: can be a bit pricey but ahh you get lovely sound and fine Italian craftsmanship in many cases.

Q Acoustics and Goldenear: Nice! Watch out!

Not Hypex, Purifi, or Pascal. Not even Fosi.

Hifi Rose: Hot relative newcomer!

Not Audio Research or even Rogue still on the tube side.

Cambridge Audio and NAD - not overated. Outlaw makes the grade as well. Musical Fidelity makes a strong showing these days for many.

I like Michi very much!

Roon…..ah Roon…what would I do without you!

MiniDSP: a game changer for many!

Let’s check back in another 10 years and see what we got.

Eversolo , way over rated.   They are releasing a $3700 streamer , good luck to anyone that buys it.  They can't even correct FW on their first player.   Way over hyped .

It should be noted overrated does not mean bad plenty of good products are also overrated.
