From an Aliexpress ad for a $4K 6x9 full range driver speaker system.

Without any curious structure, the sound from loudspeaker makes people feel pleasure. The voice is

active and aloud, the sound of band is amazing. It is an enjoyable moment. The sound from the speaker is

better and more special than others. The wonderful sensitivity (90db/W/m) also is the reason for

modern speaker’s good sound quality.

Many Chinese products have Chinglish descriptions for specs and operating instructions. Some of them are almost useless. One would think they could very cheaply hire someone to fix their Chinglish.

The term HiFi is a shortening of "to reproduce with a high degree of fidelity".

Reminds me of a Chinese restaurant with big blinking light sign out front, Voted Third Best!!!!! On a crappy day in the shop someone would start chanting We're Number 3, We're Number 3. Actually the food was really good, one of the last places to get a chicken chow mien sandwich. And a golf course off I-80 just out of Gary IN, Voted 13th Best!!! The tube amp descriptions get downright adults only. Been trying to find a pic of a young asian mom with her cute, smiling cherubic 3yo daughter and the shirt says You are a $%##@ p o s. Talk about lost in translation.

Reminds me of one of the Horatio Hornblower books I read when young; some British sailors are trying to warn Spanish soldiers not to smoke near the powder magazine and say "no smoko, magazino".
 
Years ago I bought a Chines made .22 cal pellet rifle. It had a heavy stock, a rifled barrel as thick as a standard .22 rifle and had a single cock lever.
This is lethal! I payed $22 for the rifle and another $10 for a rebuild kit with new spring, seals, etc. It turned out these were military training rifles.
The translated instructions including take down and repair section, were completely un-readable. None of it made any sense at all. It was hilarious to read.
 
I want to see these 6x9 speakers!

OK Google helped - I wonder what the market is, $4k can buy some REALLY nice speakers, and these guys want $4k for a 6x9 with a whizzer cone mounted with the long dimension horizontal, for the worst horizontal dispersion:
