On a related note, there's TAD - Technical Audio Devices - who is what I would consider the ultra high-end arm of Pioneer. They used to make some really great speakers but I'm not as impressed with what they make today compared to just five years ago, I must admit. Price tag is still pretty impressive though.
On the topic of mix and match, I'm sort of in agreement with everyone here, that you can't really get the best stuff all from one company. I do like the aesthetics and interoperability of staying with one brand though, so it is sometimes a difficult decision. But in the end, my systems have always been a mix of brands with amp from one company and all the sources from different companies. I have a Rega turntable, Audio Note amp and Denon BluRay in my main system, for example.
