Defunct brands-


Do you or have you owned gear that, while you owned the piece- the company went under? 
I definitely have- most recently, Auralic. In the past- California Audio Lab. Both made good digital gear

Apogee Acoustics went out of business years after I bought a pair of their Duetta II speakers, but love of their speakers was so strong the brand was revived by an Australian, who made improved drivers and established a small group of restorers across the world.  The restored Apogees are better than the originals and easily competitive with (and generally better than) anything in their price ranges.  There are one or two new companies making similar designs that are heavier and very pricey.  I haven't heard these.

Defunct brands- Pretty much everything I use today.
