Dynaudio - Made in China vs Denmark


Hi,

    I  recently Purchased a new pair of Dynaudios. The floor model I auditioned were 'Made in Denmark' but the pair which was shipped out by the dealer was 'Made in China'. They are still boxed. Whats should I do:

1. Swap with the showroom floor model (they were probably a yr or 2 old)

2. Unbox and use my 'Made in china' pair ?

My main concern here is the quality of the product from China. Resale values.

Anyone with experience please chime in.

Chill out, dude...Dynaudio isn't going to manufacture sub-par crap, whether it's made by Danes or the Chinese. Trust your fellow human beings to make a good product.

Same kinda thing happened to me but with a coffee machine.

I bought a 'Swiss Made' Jura but what I received was made in Portugal.

Same thing, touting Swiss made and all that.  I wasn`t too happy about it at all.

 

At least it wasn`t made in China

Dynaudio oversee all the design of the cabinet and drivers and give excellent value in their cheaper models . If you want true Danish quality then spend a bit more for the Contour line , I bought a used pair of 3.4 and totally rebuilt the Xover ,and rewired it with Cardas best wire ,WBT connectors .

with $1500 in parts ,the labor $1k+ if I didnot do it myself ,it’s much better sounding  then the new $8k model 30 that replaced it .the ♥️ of any speaker is the Xover , upgrading it is by far the best value ,cost effective upgrade !

Are all the materials produced in Denmark or are there some sourced by the offshore manufacturer?

Is there Danish oversight or quality control continuously on staff at the offshore facility?

Is the retail price dramatically reflected in the price of the offshore models? 

Is the manufacturers warrantee the same for both Danish and offshore products?

If a parent company has made the same technological investment in a given country and oversees the workforce trained to the same standards, quality can be quite good.

On the other hand, I'm not a beer drinker but I while in Amsterdam was drinking Heineken at breakfast. I don't know what that stuff is here in the U.S.?
