Where are Conicident Speaker Technology electronics made ?

That’s an interesting question... http://www.coincidentspeaker.com/about.htm On their website they go over many details of their designs, including speakers and electronics. As far as where they are made they have an entire section declaring: "Coincident Speaker Technology is proud to still state that unlike the majority of current speaker companies (i.e. Revel, Aerial, Von Schweikert, Red Rose etc.) all its speaker models are designed and completely manufactured in Canada." and then go into detail regarding the construction quality of their speakers. No mention is made of where their electronics are being manufactured which seems questionable from its omission. They make many claims like their electronics have no peer at any price, but no mention I can find of where they are manufactured.
I would assume they are manufactured in Canada. A number of folks on here own Coincident gear perhaps someone will chime in.
Looking at their construction details, over the years I’ve suspected that they’re OEM built to their specifications likely by Antique Sound Labs in China. Doing a quick search I’ve found some references like this one quoting a review from a former dealer stating that they are made in China by ASL: http://audioasylumtrader.com/ca/listing/Amplifier-Tube/Coincident/MP-300B/Parallel-300B-SET/135791
It is of course entirely possible that they’ve changed the source for their tube electronics over the years so they could be made elsewhere now. A likely connection is that the North American importer for ASL is also based in Canada.
I heard from an industry member, who knew Israel well, that they are all made in China. If memory serves me correctly he had a brief previous affiliation with ASL so bill k could be right. 
 Even though they are made in China that wouldn’t scare me off, it’s more the deception that caused me to turn away. Plus Israel just totally rubs me the wrong way. 
 I have owned ASL gear and it’s great stuff, fantastic bang for the buck. 
I always assumed made in Canada, but like @bill_k I've seen some indications that they may be made (and also sometimes copied) in China.  I can't remember the brand, but I saw someone post an almost verbatim "copy" of a Dynamo with a Chinese face plate one time.  I suspect it was just made by the same people and sold without markup (and with some minor changes).  

I'll also note that you should take any claims made by Mr. Blume with a grain of salt.  While I've loved my Coincident gear, over the years I've found that a number of his very explicit claims are simply not true. 

For example, he once stated that no capacitors were used in the signal path of the Frankensteins, but there's a coupling capacitor right in the middle of the 6em7.  He also states that the Coincident PRE's only use the finest capacitors from Mundorf, but mine had a cheap solen instead.  He also likes to claim that he uses custom drivers in his designs, but upon contacting the manufacturer (Accuton), I learned that this was not the case.  He just blacks out the model number so you can't look up parts as easily, and then charges almost double the true part cost.

Similarly, if you look at Arthur Salvatore's reviews of Coincident gear, you'll likely find that he has some different (better) parts than the model you'll receive upon ordering... 
 
Love the gear, hate the approach.
