Bose! Nothing beats it
Bose are the "Lexus" of the audio world:they are not the more exiting choice, they are far from being the least expensive choice, but they are reliable and give an excellent sound year after year...

Do you mean Snell? If so I used to sell them years ago and they sounded great, too bad they aren't around anymore.
Denon used to be great and one of my favs until they started moving their production out of their own plants in Japan to China. DOA product and repairs skyrocketed at that point, now only their flagship receiver is made in Japan. They are now owned by D&M now as well as Marantz and McIntosh. If you take any of them apart the internals are nearly identical these days.
Blose.. don't even get me started, I can't figure out how they ever developed such a hardcore following, I guess mass marketing works for them.
Monitor Audio has some great speakers. NHTs are my favs for flat response monitor speakers, if you want to hear music as it was mixed in the studio get some NHTs. Genelecs sound good but I've seen too many go in for repair to support them anymore. B&W are great but you are going to put out some serious money for them. KEF has a great product line, they can be a llittle bright though. Klipsch, not sure why people think a horn tweeter in anything other than a high power stage monitor is a good thing.
Currently have all Polk speakers in my home theater; they're the best bang for the buck IMO. If I could afford it, I would run all Dynaudio. Those are the best sounding speakers I've ever heard.

Mark Levinson amps, or Krell. B&W speakers, especially the 801 series. Of course, a vacuum sealed turntable, tube preamp...and LOTS of vinyl!
