How many people hear "JBL" and think "Bluetooth speaker" instead of "high end stereo gear?"

How many people hear B&W or Harman-Kardon and think "logo on my car's speakers" rather than "high end stereo gear?"

How many people hear "Mark Levinson" and think either "Lexus" or "who's Mark?"

I genuinely didn't know that there were still real, standalone speakers and head units made under half these brands that aren't whitelabeled Bluetooth detritus.
