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.

You bought Danish speakers and received Chinese speakers. Yes, they are Chinese speakers. It doesn't matter where they were designed.

I would return them right away.

If you are going to pay a lot of money for Chinese speakers, cut out the European middlemen and get something from Aurum Cantus. 

I think at the end of the day you have to be happy. Regardless of what anyone says. BUT, here’s my opinion:

Unless you are spending $6/7K minimum possibly more you are going to be receiving a mass produced speaker. Regardless of what country it’s made in. China just happens to have the most manufacturing in the world and usually at good rates. Your local dealer, Dynaudio, Distributor are all making profit here so it’s not like 100% is going to the manufacturing plant here…As others have stated plenty of extremely high quality products are made in China. The quality is overseen by the parent company. In many cases quality improves! The poster that mentioned Bob Carver product could have been a one off…hopefully. 

Quality is one thing but China is not exactly a friendly country, remember ?

Companies are like prostitutes, this doesn't mean we should be that too. Especially if we can avoid it.
