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.
