I could not agree more about the value of Naxos products. Certainly this company does not have the real name "stars" but frankly I would not be able to tell the difference between most recordings where the same item had been, for want of a better way of putting it, "recorded". Naxos does have, most of the time, "my" music, and thus are my preferred supplier. And by the way, unfortunately most of these purchases will be made electronically. I can't stand the ambience of any of the stores that alledgedly supply music CD's in my country town, or the ignorance of their staff in terms of the type of music I require.
