What's wrong with this picture?

Not too uncommon. There's a 6.5" sub sold by energy, mirage, and one other company that I can't think of right now. Near as I can tell, they're the same sub with different logos.

Harman International owns brands like JBL, Infinity, Harmon Kardon, AKG, Crown, Revel, Lexicon, just to name a few...

D&M Holdings owns Denon, Marantz, McIntosh, Boston Acoustis, Snell Acoustics and Escient.

In theory competition is the way to go, but monopoly sure feels good as a business owner.

Yep...

Energy ESW-M6 = Mirage MM6 = Jamo Sub 800

Not a surprise, since they've all been owned by Klipsch for awhile, and are now owned by Audiovox.

You beat me to it.

Since the Audiovox takeover, there have been some el cheapo Jamo's that were rebranded as Energy speakers and had quite the price hike at Future Shop compared to what the equivalent Jamo's are selling for...

So I didn't dream this!!!

I know nothing about Escient either, however, the Snell Type A and Type B were considered truly excellent speakers.

This picture can't begin to show exactly how the Type B is constructed. On the rear is a subwoofer and a second tweeter. When tested, the Type B had as flat a response as any speaker I've ever seen tested.

I heard the Snell Type D and it had one of the best mid-range's of any (out of dozens) speaker I ever heard.
