Sure we would. They all produce better products than their knockoffs. If you get an Appel Ipud from a street vendor in Afghanistan (it was a long deployment, don't ask), it might look like an iPad, but it won't work like one and it'll only last a month. For audio, just because it looks like a B&W or a Wilson or a Boenicke doesn't mean shit; the technology just isn't in the counterfeit and it will sound like crap. Even LV, Hermes, Christian Louboutin, etc... A Preda shoe might look just like its Prada counterpart, but it won't fit as well, won't be as comfortable, and won't last nearly as long as the original. Some people know that quality costs more, and they're ok with that. Others just want to look classy without the price tag, and they get an inferior product.
