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.
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.
