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....

I am not sure how to quote a msg to reply, 

re Perhaps, the OP had too much rum in his eggnog.>> I realize that this theory is bit strange but still... maybe people with thinner names like thinner music... you will agree that the both the words and the sounds od Focal and Klipsh sound colder than Harbeth and Sonus Faber... often strange things happen....

 

re But what does a world-destroying robot need with diapers?>> did not catch that, please explain.

re Hearing and translating >> still I think we can all agree that Focal and Klipsh sounds colder than Harbeth and Sonus Faber.

I find MA generally cooler compared to Sonus Faber, Harbeth...  Probably some MA models are less cold than others, also not all brands in each section are equally cold or warm and certainly some models of each brand could even be moved to other section. Sometimes generalisation is a necessary evil.
