Say what you want but I have been a faithful pioneer fan for years and years. Never had any problems with any of my equipment and I'll continue to use their stuff until the day I die.

 

I use to buy a lot of Pioneer. I started having head unit failures. When my $800 head unit died for no reason after 2 years, I quit buying Pioneer. I've owned something like 7 Kenwood head units since then, zero problems.



For other components I tend to buy MB Quart, but it depends on the application. I don't think any one audio company is the be-all-end-all.

 

audiopipe now but i was an audiobahn head growing up. tried some other highend brands but end of day came back to audiopipe ( its loud, cost effective, durable)

 

Im using a JVC touch screen head unit and pure Infinity for my amps and sound. And man do I love my Infinity Kapppas. Ive never heard anything better.

 

Im a big fan of Alpine stuff.
