Tannoy Prestige made in China?


Really surprised to see that the Tannoy Prestige was(is?) made in China.
I really thought these were crafted like Harbeth/Spendor.

As an owner of Tannoy DC8, it is my understanding that all Tannoys from the Definition series on up are made in Scotland.  All others are made in China.  That being said, listen to a pair of Tannoys from either place and you might just be amazed.  Gotta leave the biased preconceived notions at the curb, however.  Best.....
That’s a bingo, donjr. Incidentally, I own a pair of Wilson Benesch Arcs made in Sheffield, England, and a pair of BMC PureVox designed in Germany and built in China. Their retail prices at time of purchase were within $10 of each other - $6500 vs. $6490, so in terms of price-point it’s an apples-to-apples comparison. The build quality of the PureVox is every bit as good as that of the WB, but the difference is that were the PureVox built anywhere else at higher wage rates I believe they would have cost more and the price gap between the two would have been larger. That I was able to afford the PureVox, thanks to the lower price afforded by lower Chinese production costs, is a gift horse I’m not looking in the mouth.
Ha! Some spot-on comments. I wasn't trying to disparage China-made products at all. I was more surprised that long established manufacturers making large, unwieldy and upscale loudspeakers were doing so in China and not the garden sheds of yore.

As  I recall from my days as a Tannoy dealer the plywood cabinets are made in, I think it was Poland, then shipped to Scotland. Not positive about this or anything really.
