Red Rose or Audio Prism?

I got interested in audio following my interest in home theatre and heard Red Rose equipment on a recent visit to New York. They had some ideas that were slightly weird to me including the suggestion that I change my video from 5.1 to 2 channels. (Just when I thought I was up to date.)Trying to research the equipment on the internet, one article suggested that amps are actually made by someone else, despite the company's sales pitch about their connection with Marc Levinstein, supposedly the "engineering" guru behind the design. Is this anything to worry about? Is this company legitimate? Whoever makes the stuff, is it any good?
