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....

OP is off on so many levels. Tannoy is both Hard/Cold/Analytical and Neutral? 3 letter companies are in different categories. Audiolab, Pass Labs, the words are soft? What's colder than a lab? 

At lease he got this one right:
