For better or worse, the logo and markup is the reason this segment of the market buys these products. Cost-conscious customers always had and will retain the ability to get high-quality audio at a reasonable price.
Personally I use a set of big box speakers made by Bozak in 1958.
I would've assumed anything from consumer brands in the upmarket range (without going all the way to "audiophile") would give you more than enough quality where the limiting factor becomes the room and physical environment rather than the playback equipment?
