McIntosh Labs. Owned by DMC (Denon-Marantz Corp) also makers of high end tube amplifiers for home audio.
As Ryan said, very expensive, and very good.
If you can afford them, you won't be disappointed.

you could always buy them then ship them to me then i could test them say for a year or 5 then i could give you a verdict on how good they are and if they live up to their name.

top notch class A stuff. it is what you will find in some of the worlds best Sq cars and trucks. i have loved every item i have ever tried from them. several of my home theater installs have been with mcintosh equipment. I dont think they have ever put out something that i would not consider the best of the best. I had the pleasure of owning a set of componets and an amp a few years ago. it was a slice of heaven. should have never sold that stuff.

I was a dealer for McIntosh and let me tell you. You don't want to sell it, but you DO want to have it in your vehicle. Excellent sound quality, excellent warranty, excellent customer service and absolutely phenomenal build quality!

Quite possibly the best built amps, and in a very short list of the best sounding amps on the planet. Extremely expensive, but well worth the coin.

anti clipping circuitry, their multi-channel amps have a separate power supply for each pair of channels.

Absolutely mind-blowing performance!

in a nutshell....they don't suck

you know i am going to be honest but i had no idea that Denon/ Marantz was their parent company. I love Denon Recievers and Marantz Projectors are very hard to beat... the store near me he only sells Marantz and some Denon but he likes Pioneer Elite recievers more, but when i asked him what his reciever was he said, you prolly have never heard of it... I knew right away he meant McIntosh... I saw his setup in person, and let me tell you, there is no theater in the country that has better SQ, or Picture quality like his does. $60,000 Invested all at dealer cost by him... Too bad his car runs all Alpine... lol
