Poll: Your favourite brands of vintage amplifiers

[greenflash]

Hi guys, this is something we've done in an audio enthusiasts group, and I was wondering which would be the results here. Maybe it's been done before, excuse me in that case.

This is a high level view of brands; we know there are different eras and models etc. But I'm expecting you might vote your brands (up to 3) according to your general preference for them.

Meant to be fun! Enjoy and thanks.

PS: I see I cannot add more than the current options to the poll. So if your brand ain't there (I'm sure I didn't include some important ones!) just name them in the comments. Thanks again!

Yeah that's a good point but for the sake of simplicity I'd consider the best of each.

Depending on the vintage of Fisher why only Japanese brands?

None of the above--nothing that I own is on that list--maybe if I thought any of those brands were better than what I have, I'd have something on that list

I have and have had some not so trendy or for that matter not so big in brand names as many know of such as Toshiba,National/Panasonic an Eaton's of Canada Receiver brand Viking and many not known for maybe how can I say it being mainstream.I have had Marantz Sansui and Pioneer as well but seem to trend towards lesser known brands but hey all worked and looked good and were real Vintage to boot and somebody had to love them if for no other reason than being Vintage and I love Vintage and saving whatever when I get a chance
