Top 3 Brands (1 Viewer)

[Giob]

In terms of overall quality, which brands would be your top 3?

 

[FeisalK]

Would money be an issue?

 

[AlbertD]

Quality? In my very limited opinion

Sunfire
B&K
Denon

 

[Rob Kramer]

I definately wouldnt put Denon on my quality list. B&K is iffy also.

Money no issue - how about Bel Canto? Halcro? Goldmund?

Money an issue - can anything beat Jolida for the price?

 

[Martin Rendall]

Quality? Perhaps Anthem or Bryston.

Denon? Pah!

Martin.

 

[Eddie Horton]

That's a pretty subjective question. If "quality" means a reliable product, then my Aiwa mini system I had when I was a kid played pretty much non stop for years. Never had a problem with it.

For what type of component?

 

[LeonM]

Hasbro - They make Axis & Allies, the original Transformers, and Monopoly.

Legos - Can't go wrong there.

Kenner - They make Star Wars toys.

 

[William_Gravem]

honestly, does anything beat Disney, Microsoft, and Bose?

 

[AlbertD]

Pretty funny replies. I see I was limiting myself needlessly. Actually the top three brands would be:

Nordhavn
Kadey Krogen
Real Ships

Of course that's if we're talking about ocean crossing trawlers!

 

[Eddie Horton]

How about Levitra, Viagra, and Cialis?

 

[Scott_N]

Home Theater: Theta, Meridian and Lexicon

2-channel: Lamm, Thor and Nagra

Guys, i was referring to receiver brands

 

[Elinor]

Oh receivers. Don't know.

 

[ScottCHI]

hanes
fruit of the loom
bvd

 

[John Garcia]

The question is far to vague. Top 3 in terms of WHAT? Sound? Features? What price range? I would have a list under $1K and obviously a very different one at under $5K.

 

[Garrett Lundy]

How about Miramax, Harley-Davidson, and Dogg Digital ?

Giob,

It is my humble opinion that few (if any) receivers made today compare favorably with the behemoth receivers from 25 years ago. I honestly don't understand how engineers can un-learn things.

But the same is true of audio recordings. I have a few that are over 40 years old, and that sense of "wow" is more present than anything put out today (to include SACD/DVD-A).

John Garcia, you are right. Maybe I should limit it to top receiver brands under $500. Thanks for the clarification.

Kevin, you made a very interesting point. My aim really was to be able to focus on the brands because i'm shopping for a receiver right now. I'm overwhelmed by the number of brands out there and i would like to focus on just 3. thanks.
