Yeah that list looks like the old one just changed a bit. But all of the major brands are in the right spots so it's gotta be right.

Dustin,

Yes Luxman is/was a great product of the 90's. I had a home audio cd player that lasted over a decade, and was awesome. I do recommend them.

LCY I have never heard of, but that doesnt disqualify them. Many high end audio are small and do not compete against the marketing big boys. So, many people will not even hear of them.

For instance, if Lexus would have not used Mark Levinson to build/design them a car stereo system, many people would have never heard of his products.

Mark Levinsons home audio systems go for 5-$10,000. He sells separate components, but they usualy try and sell them as a package.

And why doesn't Crossfire fall under highly recommended. I would love to see any other 600rms amp take on mine in actual power output and clean bass. A crossfire 600D produces 879rms and is PERFECTLY stable at 1 ohm. Never heats up at all. ALways runs cool.
