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.

Holy crap,I just noticed this thread is a moldy oldy revived by someone in April 2024...Should have paid closer attention before adding to it...

China is most probably the most technologically advanced country in the world these days and their manufacturing prowess would be superior to manufacturing in Denmark.

So, if your speaker said "Made in China", you could count your blessings because it is probably better made now than when it was "Made in Denmark"....(due to China’s superior manufacturing prowess). Hence...don’t worry so much and enjoy the music.

 

NOTICE that as soon as Dynaudio started making their lower tier speakers in China,like the transition from Excite series(made in Denmark) to Evoke series(made in China)....

Hmmm My Evoke 10 say made in Denmark...

@jbuhl ,maybe Dynaudio realized their mistake & abandoned making in a COMMUNIST controlled country..

The real problem lies in the fact that Dynaudio gets a real world break on manufacturing costs , but does not pass on one penny of that to their customers. I knew when I bought my Denafrips dac where it was made, but fully realized the price would be much more if made elsewhere. I can live with that risk, and the build quality and sound is first rate. 
 

So it’s not just about country of origin. But two identical speakers made in different countries (one being China) should not cost the same. IMHO…..
