Moon by Simaudio, Arcam and Hegel: Quality of Customer and Technical Phone Support


Hi all.  I'm putting together a a 2.1 Channel Audio/Home Theater system where I can listen to “HiFi” quality 2.1 audio through streaming, vinyl and CD’s and where the left and right channel speakers and the subwoofer also provide the audio for TV and movies. 

These are the integrated amplifiers under serious consideration: 

- Arcam SA30 - https://www.arcam.co.uk/products,HDA,Integrated-Amplifier,SA30.htm
 
- Hegel H120 - https://www.hegel.com/products/integrated/h120

- Moon by Simaudio 240i - https://simaudio.com/en/product/240i-integrated-amplifier/?v=7516fd43adaa

It's likely I'll have to make the purchase from an online retailer given my location and thus do my own set-up and calibration of the amp and other components. Based on your experience which of these companies is likely to give me the best customer and technical phone support both in the initial set-up and calibration and in any potential issues going forward.

Your thoughts and comments are appreciated.

Absolutely agree with cleeds. These are services to be provided by the dealer, not the manufacturer. 
Sound quality and value for the money with the Hegel integrated amps is exceptional. However, feel free to take this with a grain of salt if you like as I'm a Hegel dealer in Canada. Depending on your speakers, the Hegel H120 could be a great fit. Note: it seems more powerful than its 75W rating would imply.
