Top Audiophile companies over the last 60, or so, years..your choices?


There are, thankfully, several great ones.  My first thoughts include:

Audio Research
Magnepan
Conrad Johnson
Vandersteen

And you can add others.  Some more "mainstream" companies that have added much:

Sony
Pioneer 

I am sure others will have much to add.  And these are a person's opinion, 
no wrong answers or posts to put down please. 


whatjd
Sansui.... Tannoy.....For their choices of good quality products at not too high prices....

Magnepan...
Berning ZOTL.... These 2 for their truly revolutionary products at relatively low price....

These four are top in my book, not the absolute top by no means, because who knows?

Using the following parameters: " "top" means that there is no sour taste in my mouth from the time I made the purchase to the time I sold it, and I’d consider buying the same brand again solely based on how much I enjoy the ownership."

In chronological order:
Acoustat
Conrad Johnson
Innersound/Sanders Sound
Quicksilver
My old brain needs some help.
What was the name of those 70's speakers that went into the corners only ?        They sure sounded good !
