Well,...just take a look around your area, and see what brand will meet them requirements. See which distributors have survived, and which brands they still cover,...and you will have your answer. Most likely,....Tritronics, Union, Fulton Radio, Andrews (west coast), and you will find some others. Most of the best ones, should be well known brands, that you are already familar with,...such as RCA, Sony, Toshiba, Philips, Hitachi, JVC, Mitsubishi, Panasonic, etc. Many manufacturers are moving thier operations to China,...so we need to keep a close eye on what happens in the next year or two. The cheaper brands that originate in China, all end up having no support what ever. The ones who have a good reputation, and have originated in other countries such as Japan, Korea, Europe, and the U.S., will be your best bet. IMHO.
