Wharfedale Elysian 4 Incredible build quality and sound, but made in China.


When I walked into the shop my eyes were struck by these gorgeous looking beauties. Then I sat down and took a listen and said to myself they must cost $20000.-25000. When the dealer told me $10000. I was floored. What the hell, how can this be? Then he explained they’re made in China. I thought to myself, well if they’re who cares they look and sound fantastic.

My GE Triton Reference speakers are made in China and at $10,000.00 are a fantastic deal. There is a lot of technology packed into the speakers.  If it was manufactured here, it would probably cost 15K or more. 
I’d pay the extra 5k for the speaker to be made in USA, at least so far as the Tritons are concerned 
Why would you pay $5k more for the exact same quality speaker? Makes no sense.
