Default Overview of all Solid State Amplifier Brands, where are SM's/Schematics available

Overview of all Audio Solid State Amplifier Brands, where are Service Manuals/schematics available:

There are an extremly wide range of vintage/legacy and currently brands on world's marked, especially through a lot of new arise brands from China and India. I know only a small range despite the fact, that I work a long time in audio resp. home-hifi.

Especially from the French audio brands it is very hard, to get informations, both from old and currently audio stuff (Micromega, YBA and Cairn-EZO are three examples).
Exactly the opposite concerning English brands, if you find out the earlier developers resp. employers. Crimson, Cambridge Audio and Creek (diyaudio member "X-PRO") are examples.
In most cases the reason for not release the schematics therefore is not the confidential character.
Mostly the real reasons are follow:
1) The only available hand sketching design of the drawed schematic diagram.
2) Because the brand are too ashamed to have sold expensive simple circuit topologies without real special features (Goldmund or Krell could be examples therefore).


Here I will start a list with audio brands, from which it is easy to get detailled service informations - thank you very much for supplement this list:

A: Directly from the manufacturer or it's developer
Pass Laboratories (download aera lo longer available - direct contact is necessary)
Linn Ltd.: Support (only old amp models without longer offered services - direct contact is necessary)
Crown Support
Bryston Limited - Music For A Generation
Jeff Rowland

QSC - Support
JBL :: Technical Library
Crimson ltd: Crimson HiFi - High End Verstärker bei Schappach Audio Mannheim
Crimson (Krimson) Amp Schematics
Cambridge Audio
Cambridge Audio A3i repairs and mods
Creek
Creek Audio's Knowledge Base
Creek 4040 s2 transistors or schematic
Creek 5350 fuse position..is it OK?
NAD: http://nadelectronics.com/parts-service

B: About particulary brands for schematic service and even especially foreign download aeras like hifi-engine:
Yamaha - Global (even from one of the most innovative HCA amp design - the MX-10000 - is the detailled schematic available)
Sony Japan | ƒ\ƒj[ƒOƒ‹[ƒv ƒ|[ƒ^ƒ‹ƒTƒCƒg
