Among the major brands reliability is probably just the same.
I like JBL speakers and Crown amps but there are as many variations and opinions as there are members on this forum.

The most important thing is matching the proper speakers for the room with amps that will power them properly. The accoustics, size, and a number of other factors are all variables a qualified technician will need to consider to set up your system properly.

..yep, even with home audio units: begin speaker first then work backwards.

True, you don't want a room that can be divided by itself equally..like a square room, or a room that is twice as long as wide..et.al...
