Dynaudio - Made in China vs Denmark

The quality may be the same as Denmark, But, I prefer not to buy from a country that has nuclear weapons aimed at us. I always look at the label to see where its manufactured. As a union worker with 43 years experience , I have been a victim of off-shore shutdowns. Just my opinion  though.

The pro "Made in PRC" camp always bring up personal computers/ Apple products/I phone ect. which is NOT relevant when regarding HEA. There are NO other options for those products that we need to function in society. Yes HEA products use some Chinese made parts PC boards/solder/cabinets ect. even the blue "MAC" meters are claimed to be made in China. Fortunately a few non critical Chinese made parts will not diminish the quality of components manufactured in North America/Europe or Japan. Krell, Sonus Faber and Quad are perfect examples of made in PRC quality control. All 3 companies have had problems with Chinese made products. I love the sound of the Quad 2812/2912 but there build quality is a deal breaker. Thankfully Krell and Sonus have moved all product? out of China. Yes, there could be a few extreme examples of well made Chinese gear. Line Magnetic/Melody appear to have great build quality and claimed top level SQ but I have not seen or heard either in person to make a valid judgement.

Unless the manufacturer offers that exact model still being made in Denmark, the dealer had no choice as to the country of origin. Perhaps he will swap his demo for your new ones, and that way be more representative of current production while making you happier with your transaction.

@uncledemp , Duh. Since when is a reassuring opinion that he needn't worry out of line? Too many summer patriots post with their hands over their hearts. Tannoy has had lines of their cabinets built in China since 2016, before final assembly back in Scotland and they still sell here with many satisfied customers.

Companies like Dynaudio carefully select factories that meet their standards and not just give anyone the contract. 

All the best,

"Over the last twenty years the manufacture of top tier bicycle frames has transitioned from Italian, French, and US made frames to Taiwan and China."

fsonicsmith-

that's a little late regarding how bike manufacturing works. It has been in play since the early 90's on a large scale. I worked for a Taiwanese OEM frame manufacturer that made frames for all the recognized names-Bianchi included. There are a handful of that make the majority of mass market  frames across the board-low end to high.

There are a few, high end specialty carbon contractors scattered across the globe, but the majority is still Asia.

Frame building still exits here in the states, but it is very small limited to boutique steel.aluminum and titanium. Carbon is offshore.

Rode a Schwinn Sting Ray in the 60's when it was Schwinn was still a Chicago manufacturer, that sadly is just a trademarked name  that exchanged hands of many investment companies and made in...Taiwan for many decades now.

Been riding Giant Taiwanese carbon for awhile-good stuff. They are one of the OEM manufacturers of known labels here, in the states.

The MIC deniers of audio...it's just audio equipment.
