It’s not a joke - seem to be the realty that a company like Metz likes to live in.
Shame on you, I say!

There is a tv - and there is a BV

Well, looks like they tried to copy literally every single B&O product. LOL Surreal. XD

B&O product history since 1991: Ridiculously long to list in a signature.

KMA:Isn't Metz a German company? I found Metz TVs (German) from Google but no mention of these copycat speakers. Is there another Metz in China? Do Metz TVs (metz-ce . de) have anything to do with the "MetzLab 50"? I'm pretty sure that if Metz (DE) sold this kind of copies of B&O products, they'd be sued to oblivion.

Metz is now (since 2015) owned by the chinese company Skyworth - but Made in Germany obviously sounds better!
How much is produced/originated in Germany and how much in China or elsewhere, will be hard to find out.
They recently announced a new company called Metz Blue - maybe that is what we see in the pics.

I haven’t been able to find any other information on these speakers, than what was in my first link.
This one should be better:

Sorry!
"You think we can slap some oak on this thing?"
Here is a video, that shows the also mentioned ‘BL14-look-alike’ speakers:
https://youtu.be/5-P5NA0Hf3U
The video is called Metz OLED 2018
You can see several Skyworth logos in the clip as well.
In another video https://youtu.be/8v13lpHGGsc (in german language) they tell that there is still production going on in Germany - 160 people working there for the Premium products.
The new (sub-) brand: Metz Blue will have production lines in Poland.
Blatant copies but you can see the quality difference a mile away!
Lazy, Lazy, and finally... Lazy.
There's a nod to great design, and there's blatantly picking its pocket. Metz should actually be embarrassed, but clearly they think this kind of thing is perfectly acceptable.
Shameless copies seem to be part of Chinese culture. Cars are the biggest shocker, as can be seen on this Link

And no DSP inside 🙄
Your dream come true.
At least I know when DSP is being used and when it's not.

I shall remember to ask you, then 😉
If B&O's going to continue to get their money's worth out of you MM I think you need some remedial training. At first I was willing to give you the benefit of the doubt as I think English isn't your first language, but by continuing to double down on your mistakes I think it goes beyond that.
p.s. your mother was a hamster, and your father reeks of elderberries. Now, go away or I shall taunt you a second time!
