I can echo the posts above regarding PS Audio. I own, and love, their P10. (bass not flabby in the slightest, btw) I own, and absolutely love, their Stellar M700 monoblocks which I use as front and center channel for my HT with a Stellar S300 for the rears. I replaced my McIntosh MC205 and haven't looked back. I own, and love to an absurd degree, their Directstream DAC. Red Cloud firmware has finally brought digital to the level of musicality of my excellent vinyl rig, which I never thought would happen. Their service is top notch. Their enthusiasm for their products is genuine. Their product line is ever expanding with an upcoming server/streamer and BHK phono preamp (and Stellar phono pre). So yeah, I'm a big fan of a well run American company which manufactures here. Not much hype to that.
