List:

Old school Marshall ( look at how many are still out there rockin the world ) ;)

Like:
Diezel
Mesa
Fractal Audio
Bogner
Orange

Dislike:
Marshall
 
People seem to dislike Marshalls... apparently their PCB are cheap and tend to break in transport

Surprised Bogner are considered well-built... I've owned 2 Uberschalls and both had issues. :thumbsdown:
 
Best built amps I've come across are

CEC Brigand
Diezel Hagen
Soldano SLO
THD Flexi 50
Suhr/CAE OD100
 
From the looks of the new BFG Destroyer it might need to be added to the list. :yes:
