It all depents upon what you mean by "must support"!  I think Nicholas
might have meant "must support, by purchasing their product if we want to
ensure Naxos' continuing presence as a source of low-priced classical CDs
w/ good to excellent performances, and not to defer such purchase in favor
of one by a better known artist on a higher priced label even though the
Naxos version is as good."
