It's all good. I was just stating that this is an ADJ forum, and we can't really say much about other companies good/bad, because other companies can take it the wrong way..ect. ect. I actually have (and still do) use amps from both companies you stated for 10 years and were very satisfied with them. Since about 3-4 years ago I started purchasing AA gear, and I must say. For features to $$$'s AA is one of the best values out there.
