Their old Mobile ES products weren't so bad, but those are ancient history now.
i would go so far as to say anything 10-13 years. in 91-92 sony began an initialive to "use x%fewer parts" in their car audio products. that just equated to less money spent on each item and yielded an increase in profit. in '95 i snatched a mobile ES casset deck on clearence from crotch fealed. even it sucked. while prior to that time the ES was indeed pretty good. they also had some gold ES amp that was pretty tough as well, but my memory fades.
for the large corporations it's generally quantity not quality, which is most typically the inverse of smaller internet companies.
if it's bright (except ppi art), with light (except mcintosh), or chrome (all) i pay it no mind. now i understand that eclipse (fujitsu 10) is also going the route of the large corp by way of crotch fealed. while i have been a fan of the Ti and amps, i fret to say the least.
