Just great sounding equipment and exquisite build quality (in my opinion).. and, call me old fashioned, but they answer the phone when you call and have always been polite and helpful.
Dyna-Kit, later Dynaco, of fond memory. Those were the days when a poor college kid could afford a SOTA system.
Good personal experience with Ayre and Aerial Acoustics. Both always give personal service.
