Dynaudio - Made in China vs Denmark

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,

Back in 1986 I bought 20 various Dynaudio woofers and 20 Dynaudio tweeters. I bought them from Meniscus, when Dynaudio still sold drivers to individuals. I still have them, NOS NIB.

I bought them for car audio installations, and they were exceptional drivers! But, my first project was only given “Honorable Mention” because in competitions, only name-brand car audio drivers were allowed, ie Kenwood, Alpine, Pioneer, Kicker, and the like.

So what should I do with these drivers? They’re taking up space in my garage workshop.

All things considered, I would want the speakers to be made in Denmark.

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.

I doubt there is another person in this thread who gives a damn about bicycle frames but I would and do quibble with your dates. I may not have been in the industry but I know bikes as a former sponsored amateur. Giant and Trek came out with consumer CF in the early 90's but the TdF squads did not widely adopt CF until 1999. I just confirmed for myself that in the '98 TdF most squads were riding aluminum. Those early 90's CF frames were not competitive with Ti and Al. 

And I am no stranger to custom steel and likely know more than you do on that front as I have met close to 50 custom builders at various shows and own four customs, a Weigle, Landshark, Rob English, and Speedvagen.
