On a lark, looking for electronics and/or speakers that have a philosophical naming scheme.

The only one I can think of off-hand is Hegel and Hegel

Personally, I would love a Heraclitus.

Heraclitus would be apt, considering how often audiophiles change equipment, haha!

I'd prefer a logical, simple, descriptive designation. 

Like 18-100/8M (originally sold in 2018, providing 100 watts at 8 ohms, and a mono-block).

Like the company, but the Schiit product names drives me nuts.

How about something simple and accurately descriptive like Same Old Shit (S.O.S.) Mk I, Mark II, Mark III, Mark IV, etc.? That makes it simple to distinguish between the generations without discussing the jaw dropping new casing or the mind-blowing gauge of the power cord, or the diminnishingly fast distortion depletion emphasis de-emphasis mechanism.
Somewhere along the way we went from audio philosophy to equipment named after philosophers. This thing is on life support but the Chauvinists among us are still awaiting the return of Napoleon. And Christ.

Seems like this 'creative' naming happens with speakers mostly
