A name that would be catchy if we had never heard it would be Realistic. Unfortunately it now reminds me of waiting in line for free batteries.

T&A always made me laugh. Others I liked were Atma-Sphere, Audio Aero, Krell, Manley, McIntosh, Melody, and Quicksilver.

Fried seems a horrible one for a loudspeaker. Eggleston and Klipsch, though not as bad, are still no prize. Also agree with NAD. Wouldn't be interested in those. 47 Labs, Oppo, and Wadia while nice digital, all also sound weird.
