What Newer Brands Will Rise to Industry Mainstays?
20 years ago, few mentioned Ayre when considering SS and digital gear, ZYX for cartridges, or Magico & Zu for loudspeakers. A handful of companies seem to endure at a high level with wide recognition and generally, high levels of respect with both consumers and the industry. For discussion, let's call them "mainstays". These brands are the bread & butter of most high end dealerships and even if sold direct, they're common in high end systems. A few examples...
Speakers: Magnepan, Vandersteen, Klipsch, Sonus Faber
Electronics: Audio Research, McIntosh, BAT, NAD
Analog: VPI, Project, Rega, Audio Technica,
Cables: Audioquest, Cardas
So out of all the brands new or gaining traction in the last 10 years or so, which do you feel will continue to grow in respect, success and influence? A few worth mentioning IMHO, in no particular order:
Cheers,
