* Sumo war ein Hersteller von sehr leistungsstarken Endstufen im Hifi- und Profi-Bereich. Der geistige Eigentümer von Sumo, James Bongiorno, gründete diese Firma, nachdem er schon sehr erfolgreich für Wurlitzer, Marantz, Rectilinear Research, Dynaco, GAS und SAE in den U.S.A. gearbeitet hat. Anfang der 80er gründete James Bongiorno gemeinsam mit 2 japanischen Geschäftsmännern die Hifi-Marke Sumo. Aufgrund eines erneuten Ausbruches von Leberkrebs schied er etwa Mitte der 80er aus dem erfolgreichen Sumo aus. Nach einer erfolgreichen Operation hat er den Krebs besiegt und kreierte zumindest noch im Jahre 2000 den Ampzilla 2000. Nach dem Ausscheiden von Bongiorno aus Sumo kam nach kurzer Zeit das Ende der Marke. Es gibt heute keinerlei Service oder Ersatzteile. Die Geräte erfreuen sich jedoch aufgrund ihrer enormen Leistungsreserven und der hervorragenden Klangeigenschaften einer begeisterten Fangemeinde.
