ASSEMBLED IN CHINA


HOW CAN A US BASED COMPANY, MAKE THE INTERNALS, ELECTRONICS PARTS, WOOFERS, TWEETERS, MIDRANGES, CABINETS ETC. ETC. AND THEN SHIP ALL TO CHINA, AND THEN SHIP BACK TO THE GOOD OLD US, AND, THEN TEST AND I GUESS DO SOME KIND  OF QUALITY CONTROL, PACKAGE AND SELL THEM. YOU HAVE OCEAN FREIGHT, AIR FREIGHT, GROUND FREIGHT, ETC.

THE POINT I AM TRYING TO MAKE IS THAT THIS COUNTRY IS IN DEEP TROUBLE, WE COULD DO THE WHOLE PROCESS HERE AND PUT PEOPLE TO WORK VS PAYING CHEAP LABOR OVERSEAS. THERE IS STILL A LOT OF COST INCURRED EVEN WHEN THEY DO THIS.

ncum001, you would be hard pressed to find a better pair of speakers than GET T1 in today's market / technology for less than 25 grand, regardless of where it is assembled. And the GET T1s are 1/5th the cost.
All items in my system are either made in USA, EU or Japan. Nothing is made or assembled in China.

Reasons?

The products made in China are of lower quality comparing to the same product from same company if made in USA, EU countries or Japan.

Many time, the "assembled in China" implied improper use of labor, environment pollution, intellectual property...

And the money I pay to them may end up in the Chinese government budget to be used for robbing South China Sea and maltreating our fishermen.

My audio friends and me rather prefer pay a premium for audio products that are not assembled in China.

i am Vietnamese, it's easier to buy "assembled in China" here.

Finally, 2 voices of reason- OP and nguyenson123.
I would never (knowingly) by any Audio gear made in china!
Dear ncun001: your stating absolute common sense! Problem with using it is the politically correct hypocrites of the world won't back common sense! It's the truth and we wouldn't want to discuss the truth that isn't politically correct!
