Out of curiosity (and nothing better to do at the moment), I went through the first 1,000 posts of the thread "what do you have". Three brands clearly stand out. B&W, Klipsch and Paradigm. This constituted at least 60% of the brands posted.

I know they all sound good but, why so popular when there are so many other good choices with identical price points? Good marketing? Dealer network?

And, I seem to be the only one with SL series Infinities! Out of all those posts! Am I alone?

perhaps people who have other brands of speakers don't frequent websites like this or any other audio websites for that matter?

...or don't feel compelled to post what they have.


It would be interesting to see a trendalyzer view of the brand distributions over time, too.

I did notice a good sprinkling of Cerwin Vega early on. They all but disappeared by 2007.

Oh - I haven't posted in that thread. I do have an Infinity system though!


Two pairs of Infinity Beta 20s and an Infinity Beta C250 center.

I think they were the generation after mine. Then came the first gen Primus line.
