Your "Best of..." audio manufacturer in each state


Obviously subjective and subject to experience bias. No wrong answers. Pick a state and claim your "Best of" for that state.

Inspired by me realizing that VAC is a Sarasota-based company. Had I known that a few years ago when I was down there I would have asked for a tour.

As a Colorado native, my vote goes for Ayre as the best of the state and top ranking in the world. I only own one Ayre product but have my sights set on a few more as budget allows. I have been to the factory a few times getting a fix and update to my C5xe and they have been very accommodating and friendly.
In Texas, Raven Audio. The Blackhawk LE is easily the best amp of the many I've owned over the last 50 years and the support by owner Dave Thomson is the best I've encountered, as well.
In California, Pass Labs/First Watt. In Colorado, Sanders Sound Systems. In Utah, Sound Lab. In Minnesota, Atma-Sphere. In Florida, Eminent Technology.
Vandersteen and Audioquest in CA, Atma sphere and Magnepan in MN, Belles in NY, Ayre in CO, Zu and SoundLab in UT.

Another vote for Vandersteen in California and Music Reference ( RIP Roger Modjeski ) and Beverige and Infinity (! The real one )....
