Chinese Loudspeakers ARE GOOD

I believe that American economic ethnocentric view of the world has negated the low budget Audiophile the opportunity to enjoy excellent audio products.
I recently purchased a pair of Chinese loudspeakers that rival in manufacturing details and performance many North american and "Exotic" European products.
Having been in this hobby for more than 30 Years, I can brag on having listened to a lot of different speakers as well as to having devoloped a good "ear" to detect flaws on what I am listening.I've learned that MUSICALITY is what matters.
First, it is taken as a fact that Chinese Tubes or Valves are no Good. However, Siemens, Mullard and the like British Valves are "top of the line".That same prejudiced mentality, leads buying decisions all across the audio enthusiast world, be that, when buying cables to deciding on a CD player. Well , one thing is for sure, the prices asked for a quad of NOS tubes of the brands mentioned before is abusive, to say the least.
Besides, the Chinese also had enough intelligence and manpower to be a Nuclear Power.Do you think our bombs are better? We need to destroy the audio hype and promote the hobby by making it affordable to most people and not a status symbol. All for the love of music!
Having heard the performance to price ratio of products like Cayin, Ming Da and others, motivated me to buy a speaker by JINYON AUDIO CO. LTD called Elite Aesthet VI.
This speaker will blow you away and you will not spend $1500.00 on a pair, that is, if you can get a pair.

I always enjoy the "look what they are doing to us" way of discussing this subject when in fact we are doing it to ourselves. I hear the "they" argument almost every day.

The Chinese did not come here and take our jobs. WE sent our jobs to China and all the indignation in the world won’t change that.

To the OP, I have no doubt that China is capable of manufacturing high quality goods.

BTW: Remember the Ford Focus plant planned for Mexico that our president didn’t want? Ford has decided to build USA model Focus in currently existing Chinese Focus plant, a potential Mexican Focus became a Chinese Focus. Here’s a political decision resulting in more jobs for China. Granted from Mexico to China but wouldn’t you prefer our neighbors get those jobs? Probably more USA parts too?

BTW: Most USA automobile (USA parts & labor) is Toyota Camry.

Chinese friends of mine try to buy anything but Chinese made products. They export much american audio to china. I think china can make anything as well as other country's but they do have a history of caveat emptor and a culture that favors early replacement not repair-ability and I see this in much of what I get my hands on that china produces. Japan had a history of inferior products till honda sony toyota. I think at this time China's more into coping than innovation but with time that will end. Germany used to be known for high quality not so much so today they have adopted a bit of caveat emptor... VW.

Good! It is the natural cycle. Japanese cars used to be crap and now they are among the best. I wish China every success on the journey from crap to the best.

China has a huge advantage over Japan in having started out with the worst crap possible - so the potential for improvement is astronomical!

If I may paraphrase an old saying on Chinese food:

The good thing about Chinese speakers is, after you listen to them, you have to go back and listen some more.
