Sony - More Legendary Than Kaiju
To some the name Tokyo Telecommunications Engineering Corporation may be a little foreign, if you'll excuse the pun. However if you change that name to its more common moniker Sony you'll quickly find it's a challenging to locate an audio enthusiast on planet earth who's not heard of it. This astute company was established in 1946 in Japan, and since that time continues to steadily grow its market through the development and deployment of quality electronic equipment; to such a point today that this behemoth is beyond ubiquitous. As you'd correctly assume though; one doesn't grow to such an impressive size due to good luck or guess work. Since conception Sony has continued to innovate, create, design and produce some of the worlds most advanced concepts and technology. Indeed to this day the company continues to lead most other designers as it forges through uncharted territory in the relentless pursuit of aural and visual perfection.

ES Series - World Leaders In Aural Control

Not overly keen on venturing off into the twilight zone fiscally speaking; most realistic price points have seen Sony products dominate the market for decades now. This is despite ever-growing pressure from competing brands, both within the Japanese domestic market and far abroad. The Sony car audio stable is a considerable one, offering everything from receivers and amplifiers through to speakers and subwoofers. Put succinctly; if you're facing audio challenge, Sony will have the answer for you.
