Yes I know about putting the little accent mark on the "e" but then I'd have to twiddle with the keyboard. But I still think it's a pretentious brand name, even in French.
I thought typing a forum post
was twiddling with the keyboard. ;-)
In that case, you know it's pronounced Class-A not Class-E, then. Right?
In a world of pretentious brand names, it's far from the most egregious. At least it has meaning, related to the product's aspirations, function, and heritage.
I understand it's your opinion, and of course you are welcome to it. I just don't see many arguments that you could propose against the branding except that you simply don't like it. Which is fine. I dislike Rogue Audio because they use a Raven as the logo, a bird I despise because I've had to deal with them. Some of their products don't have that hated bird on them, just the brand name, which I could happily live with. But no raven is going to be in my home. Period.
Pretty much the same thing, although I have to say that I listened extensively to a Rogue Audio Spynx and didn't like it ... it wasn't bad, just un-involving. Something you can buy from a host of manufacturers, in other words I didn't see what all the fuss was about.
