You own a store, you sell 2 brands, which?

Thought experiment:

You run a store which sells used and new gear from any point in history.  The catch is you can have exactly 2 brands.  One of electronics one of speakers. 

Defunct brands are OK as are those current with long histories. 

What brands are they?

Lafayette & Ohm Walsh.

Especially the Lafayette KT-550 tube power amp.  Had these in college in my dorm room.  Everyone hung out there!  Still have the Lafayette KT-550 but converted the tube compliment to a current tube.  Everything else is stock.  It is a beast of a stereo amp and still sounds better than most tube amps manufactured today!

Happy Listening.

Even though, for speakers, my personal preference is electrostatics and ribbons, from a recognition and marketing stand point, reliability and a broad range of price and performance choices, would be Vandersteen. For electronics, for all the same reasons plus having a full gamete of analogue and digital components, would be either Linn or Rega.....Jim
