Best audio companies and dealers

I've thought about doing this over the years, but never seemed to get around to it. But I'd like to list the audio dealers and companies I've dealt with over the years that have offered consistently good products and customer service way beyond the average. 

Two companies come immediately to mind: Cary Audio in NC and Reference 3A in Canada. Cary offers superb equipment, like the SLP05 pre-amp. And they have delivered excellent customer service throughout the years, and it's always been a pleasure to deal with them. The same goes for Reference 3A speakers. I owned the MM Decappos- great speakers, esp. for midrange, and you cant find a more attentive, professional person than Tash to deal with.

I'll second the nomination for local retailer with Audio Video Therapy of Nashua NH. They're a little further from me than four other well-known-to-the-area retailers and just a couple miles from another who is known to be a brand importer in addition to retailer. Still, Audio Video Therapy gets most of my business because of the way they earn it.

For manufacturers, I haven't found many of the same calibre as KEF USA. I've not had any failures of the product, but for a missing (purely cosmetic) part on a pair of demo R500's and missing port plugs on a used pair LS50's I got from AV Therapy, they went out of their way to make sure I was happy. I have the T-shirts, pens, keychains, and other KEF-labeled swag to prove it.
