ASSEMBLED IN CHINA

First, lets be leery of the OP. It’s his first post, in caps and controversial. Reeks of classic trolling.

That being said, companies exist to make a profit. If a manufacturer felt they could make a product here with US labor, meet their price point and make a comfortable margin, they would. If they can’t, they look overseas and yes, even pay two way shipping. Ocean shipping is cheap - you can get a lot of audio components in a 40’ high cube container.

When I buy new it is U.S. built. If I buy used , price is the main factor .

Good luck with that one!!

Coz govermnt said it's OK and encouraged outsourcing for better profits.
Using slaves is even cheaper, but assembly quality may suffer.
The world is actually being divided under world leaders. i don't think USA will be the only one although tries extremely hard to make it happen.

I posted this due to bought a pair of ge triton 1's, they are absolutely stunning for their sound, not the greatest looks though, and I understand why sandy g. kept the cost low, I was so excited when I purchased them, and  was disappointed when on the boxes were assembled in china, oh well I guess this is  the world we live in, I am not disappointed in anyway with them, had them for 6 weeks now, and they are getting better and better. 1 question I have, back when I started buying stereo, early 70's, I remember there was a article in the absolute sound that said to cap off all your unused rca plugs, is this still necessary? thanks for your replys
