Company loyalty- What has been your favorite?


Thinking about the many different companies, brands and
manufacturers.

High end- Krell, Bryston, Ayre, etc
Popular- Pioneer Elite, Sony, Yamaha, Denon, Onkyo, etc
Smaller-(purists) Butler Audio, Odyssey, Red Wine, etc
Good reputation- Marantz, Sunfire, Arcam, McIntosh

Do you have a brand that you are loyal to? If so, please state why you are? Sound? Quality? Service? etc

I’ve had many others but these guys ring my bell. 
Since I'm the customer, I would hope the manufacturer would be loyal to ME. I've already paid -- I don't owe them anything!

Auralic has been loyal to customers, in offering great trade-in value to those who upgrade. Bryston has been, also, in offering a great warranty and excellent service (as well as fine products). Audio by Van Alstine very kindly gave me the old price on a repeat order. JL Audio fixed my long out-of-warranty sub for a reasonable cost, then sent another one when I wasn't happy.

Those are the companies that have been loyal to me, and that I'll give first look when I'm looking for a new component.
