If you want quality, QSC and Crown are good starting points. There is a saying i've come across lately with the higher quality gear... buy once cry once. It's more money up front, but less hassle not having to deal with repairs, problems, upset clients due to those problems, and in the long run, less money anyhow since you probably won't need to buy new gear nearly as quickly, or want to upgrade out of frustration.
I don't know if their amps carry the same warranty, but the QSC active series speakers carry an amazing 6 year warranty. That speaks volumes that a company is willing to back up their product for that long.
