Here is my $.02 on their lists -
The Dynaco - ST70 - a no brainer.
The Phase Linear - 400/700 - a no brainer.
Marantz 8/8b/9 - at least one should be on the list (8 or 8b Imo).
Caver Silver Seven - should be on the list.
Heathkit - the W-series should be on the list (the 5, Imo).
Harman Kardon - Citation II should be on the list
Nad 3220 - This guy seem in over his head, but it was/is such a perfect little int. amp. YES, I still have mine!
Audio Research - Conrad Johnson - McIntosh - Levinson - Quad - Curl - Pass - Futterman - Scott - Fisher, the list is long and strong.
Plus, Imo, HH Scott & A. Fisher gave hi end audio to the masses, yet I place none of their amps in my top ten but I have own and still own them. If you wanted top ten COMPANIES, they would both make it, easy.
The list of "top 10" will never please everyone and at times, it will please no one.
Make your own and that is that.
music has the power to make you happy
