9. Bang & Olufsen
The audio/video giants have been banging out only the best in technology since the 1920s. While they may not have the household name status of Sony, Bang & Olufsen service the prestige end of the market. You'll find their stereo systems in Aston Martins, and any home cinema that's serious about sound will have a piece of kit by them.
It's not just substance either - they provide themselves on slick style that perfectly balances retro and futuristic.
