I call all the remaining letters of the alphabet as prefixes for the numbers.

Using some musical terms that perhaps imply class:
Legato - Indicates that the composition is to be played smoothly.
Axiom Legato 1000
Axiom Legato 1250
Axiom Legato 1500
OR:
Allegro - A direction to play lively and fast.
Axiom Allegro 1000
Axiom Allegro 1250
Axiom Allegro 1500
OR:
Canon (This covers it all): A musical form where the melody or tune is imitated by individual parts at regular intervals. The individual parts may enter at different measures and pitches. The tune may also be played at different speeds, backwards, or inverted.
Axiom Canon 1000
Axiom Canon 1250
Axiom Canon 1500
And one more (the opera crowd were a tough bunch):
Castrato - Male singers who were castrated to preserve their alto and soprano vocal range.
Axiom Castrato 1000
Axiom Castrato 1250
Axiom Castrato 1500

My gawd, you're nastier than the old time opera crowd, ha!!
Just like us today, it's amazing what they would do to find & keep the perfect sound. I kinda like tweaking better than surgery...

Mark's suggestions don't count. Remember, Amie.

For my last entry it is a combination of the first two but adding its efficiency rating which I think is such a selling point.
CD90/PWM90-1000/1250/1500
The most efficient and powerful amplifier in home audio.
I have to say though Pulse Width/Wave Modulator and Linear Field Radiating in the same sentence is so badass.
I’m armed and I’m drinking. You don’t want to listen to advice from me, amigo.

DPA1000, DPA1250, etc. Digital Power Amp.
I know Ben already mentioned PA, but not everyone will know that it doesn't stand for "Power Amp" but for "Pine Acre".
I've always thought "Muskoka" is powerful and meaningful.

Tom, in the "PA" Category, I was sure you'd go for "I".
