Which companies deserve a star for Christmas


Which companies gave you a stellar experiences this year in terms of excellent product, and knowledgeable and accessible sales and service?
After spending 45 minutes of hold with AT&T last night and never being able to even talk to a person at several companies this year. It is refreshing that in audio you still can talk to someone quickly who is eager and able to help you.
I nominate in alphabetical order the following companies that gave me stellar experiences this year: Audio Horizons, Ayon, Morrow Audio, Nuforce, Stillpoints, Von Schweikert.

It's pretty obvious that a lot of the replies mention dealers and small manufacturers. I am sure that is'nt a coincidence. When your dealing with the head honcho, you get a quick, knowledgeable reply. Larger companies with separate customer support services are much harder to get right.
On that basis, a gold star for: Kevin at K&K audio
Lou at Daedalus Audio
Tyler acoustics is second to none in customer service.
Ty is fantastic to work with.
His products are awesome.
