My experience with receivers is that they are the most likely to fail of all the audio components, so they are the one where I would care most about a good warranty... in fact they are the only component where I often buy an extended warranty.

Big question, I guess, is "when you talk about reputable, does that mean they will replace a failed unit at their own expense even if you don't have a factory warranty ?". I don't think many places are that reputable ;(
