You run a store which sells used and new gear from any point in history. The catch is you can have exactly 2 brands. One of electronics one of speakers.
Defunct brands are OK as are those current with long histories.
If my business was meant to provide income, I would pick brands likely to be popular with the area demographic. If my business is a hobby, I would pick what I like.
Wouldn’t sell many due to cost and need for large room(s), but my two [personal listening preferences] - that have both electronics and speakers would be: TotalDac and Aries Cerat.
@grislybutter - Rega makes/sells speakers. They are one of the manufacturers that offer everything needed for a complete analog and digital music system. You could actually have just a Rega store and have very good sound across a wide price range.
Fun question; thanks.
The McIntosh / Sonus Faber combo does a lot for me.
SF is a great conventional dynamic speaker with low end up
to nice high end models. Mac stuff is a bit pricier but wonderful and can cover
all bases. They are a solid pairing in my estimation, like that of other prior
posters.
Some others seem to have trouble understanding a great ‘what
if’ question that asked very simply for an electronics mfr/brand (not an entire
corporate structure) and a speaker mfr/brand. And rather than
moan and complain about the question, why not leave and move on to another topic...
For me, it would be Rega and Macintosh. Rega offers affordable to very good quality. Also, they have a complete offering. For the high-end, Macintosh is a complete line as well, maybe minus speakers. The only thing missing is a very speaker line...
trick question, there is no combination of two brands that cover all bases for amp, pre-amp, turntable, speakers, etc. I could start with Cambridge Audio but for speakers, no brand would satisfy more than 30% of audiophiles. Our ears are different.
JBL/JBL Synthesis & Yamaha....they both pretty much sell everything...and as far as Home Audio you have Home Audio and Home theater from budget to to uber high end....they both are audio Gods! Whether you like them or not...
Stores which
has been around for a long time ,usually selling most popular brands from boom boxes to hi-fi and hi-end.That is the way to attrack and involve people in audio for lifetime
Bose & Sony was a good pick Duder. everyone knows the line. It's people picking the likes of Audio Note. 2000 people looking to buy a 7 k. audio system would walk right past the Store . It's like Tidal HiFi I've asked a lot of people all ages about it . No one knows what it is except people reading audiogon How many read it
