my pioneer stuff has generally lasted me 5-10 years with hard wear, i never have any stereo **** break on me except for the following:

blau subs
jensen subs
jensen amps
several pioneer subs
my latest pioneer head is doing some weird ****

if there was a single brand i had to use for the rest of my life id play it save and pick JVC or maybe pioneer. i buy a lot of cheap ass components and drive the **** out of them, and i really have not had bad luck with pioneer except for their subs, (i think _that_ was an issue with a dirty amp)

i like that stereo, i was thinking about buying it myself when this one goes out.
