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).
