That's very unlikely, there's nothing to indicate that. There was some blind testing vs JBL M2 that doesn't point that way, and Dr. Toole if I'm not mistaken is using them in his system also, sure he is biased, but they can't be that bad.You haul them out do all your measurements and they turn out very poorly
The spins for Salon2 are available, Amir has occasionally commented how some very good speakers he has tested compare to them, we more or less know what to expect. What we need is more testing of affordable speakers, the majority cannot afford or are not willing to spend that kind of money.
