My post was based on walking around the factory, seeing the offline "400 watt room" (on the outside of the building -- I think they actually have 1000+ watts available) and the 100% test rig at the end of the production line.
Speakers don't strike me as something with a high out of box FAILURE rate. Defects maybe, which need to be discovered through inspection or testing, but not failures (for purposes of argument, I'm defining "failure" as a change in behavior from acceptable to not acceptable).
