Dynaudio - Made in China vs Denmark

"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. 

Sorry to be redundant but I'm going to emphasize a point made earlier. The bottom line here is how you feel about the speakers. If you are always going to be wondering if your speakers would sound better if they were made in Denmark then there is only one logical choice. Either return the speakers or swap them for the demo pair. We can speculate all day long whether or not the Chinese speakers are the equal of those made in Denmark but the fact is we'll never know. You bought this product for a variety of complex reasons and apparently the manufacturing origin was an important criteria.

If this issue affects your pride of ownership then that is all that matters.

As I just saw mentioned, I would advise as well to take them back to the dealer, make a deal on the display set swap, should be a pretty big discount, then they can display the actual model now being sold which is best for them if they value being honest to their customers.

Or, get a full refund and buy something even better used for the same money.

MIC will become a different thing in the future as their labor pool is aging, their youth are becoming less inclined to work so hard for so little,economic growth will slow down, they will have to start manufacturing in less developed countries, history repeating itself...

That's like the good people of Kentucky refusing Obamacare and opting for Kynect (Kentucky Health Benefit Exchange) instead. The punchline is they're the exact same thing save for the name. Pride of ownership is ephemeral, but if that's going to keep one up all night, then go with god and return the speakers.

All the best,
