I have a Melody integrated, same thing. Designed in Australia, made in China. When I bought it, dozen or more years ago, thought oh how great providing some good jobs in China.
Right after I get the amp find another story put out by some reviewer who actually went to China to see how they are made. All the people live and work in the same building. Because when you work 20 hour days for a dollar there's no time to be commuting back and forth and no money even for a bicycle anyway. Just wonderful.
But hey I'm sure Line Magnetic and Prima Luna would never do anything like that. They probably have some magic fairy dust or something to keep the price down.
