What Reed Manufacturer Gives You the Most Good Reeds

First off, a couple of disclaimers. I use a lot of brands and I definitely don't expect reeds to be great out of the box. Adjusting them is part of my approach to play. You're apt to find Vandoren, Brad Behn, Leuthner, Steuer reed boxes in my home to name a few.

But IMO I find Pilgerstofer Dolce Reedsand Peter Leuthner to be the most consistently good: funny both carried by Clark Fobes.

Maybe that's because, as some say, the reeds are marked slightly harder than they are compared to a Vandoren standard. (??)

I can't imagine that we are going to arrive at consensus here but I thought I might see what answers we get.

Is there any high end brand that people seem to concur just doesn't make the grade?
