Heard of the brand?  No.

The general quality of stuff out of China varies quite a bit, but over the past decade or so has been rapidly getting better overall.

I wonder about the claim of "250WRMS", particularly in a combo with an open back, and therefore about speaker efficiency.

There is quite a lot of electronics that is made in Asia that gets built in to name brands at board and component level, e.g. the controller in your "European" dishwasher may have been made in China, so I'm not personally too worried about quality issues with Asian manufacture these days.

What's it sound like?  Ah, that's a whole different question.
