Here's my experience with Studiolab: they refused to honour their warranty. Many years ago I bought a pair of their speakers. Not the cheapest, but the second from the top of the line. The speakers came with a lifetime warranty. Well a couple of years ago I called them to make arrangements to bring the speakers in for service as the rubber surrounds were fatigued. Instead of honouring the warranty I was told that they absolutely would not honour the warranty because they said the speakers were too old. This indicates to me that this company lacks integrity. I guess they've never heard of Bryston.
