Most overrated audio manufacturers?

Sounds you are getting a bit cynical. Easy to do isn't it. I used to work for a big hi fi shop in Denver back in the mid 70's. 8 tracks were just leaving and cassette tapes on the way in and vinyl running strong. The interesting thing is that after all these 40 years the thing that has improved the most are the magazines touting expensive gear.

audio note and ayre in my very honest opinion.
I had nothing but trouble with these two companies
and the dealers who sold them. Look at other manufactures
instead of the above.

None !!

To Soundsreal, cynical? really. What is more cynical than dissing a manufacturer without providing any real world experience with that product or manufacturer, very unfair. Case in point Quicksilver for one. A manufacturer that has been around for many years and offers excellent value. If you don't believe it look at the used prices on their gear. Not SOTA but solid, fairly priced and well designed and dependable.

Some come to this site to gain real insight and information. Unfortunately often things get bogged down with these worthless threads that provide little to no value. The OP asks for "thoughts". So far I haven't read a thoughtful response from those that have taken the bait.
