Fair comment. For example the name Sonitron

Another set of names come from those wonderful people who make those greatest
high end speakers that are sold out of the back of white vans. :-p

Grafdale, ripoff of Wharfdale
Paradygm, ripoff of Paradigm
Acoustic Response, ripoff of Acoustic Research

Dahlton, Dogg Digital, and Theater Research are also other brands that are sold
in the back of vans and are utter pieces of crap.

These speakers are built with thin particle board with no bracing. There is no
internal insulation. Shoddy drivers are typically used. Small gauge wiring is
typically used. There is an underdesigned crossover circuit, if there is one
inside at all. At least they look nice, but they aren't worth $200, much less
the $1000+ these speakers are advertised for.

You have to see the frequency response curves of these things, one person
commented that it's like looking at a roller coaster ride at a Six Flags theme
park, and I am forced to agree. There have also been instances where these
speakers blow at moderate listening levels.

Even a cheap $100 amplifier could blow these speakers before it reaches
anywhere near clipping. - Reinhart
