Classe move to China

Mceljo - I don't assume Classe will be junk just because they manufacture in China - but now I can't assume that their quality will be superior either - because they have just moved to China and there will be a huge learning curve that may effect quality.

My PSB Synchrony One speakers were manufactured in China and are an outstanding product and value - but I paid a price that reflects the manufacturing source. With the Classe M300's I'm not certain that I'm paying a price that reflects the source of manufacture - in fact I know that the price does not reflect Made in China. The M400's were made in Canada and were about the same price as the made in China M300, so there appears to be no Chinese manufacturing dividend for the end buyer - just the manufacturer and distributors, hence my concern with value, especially future value on the used market.

With Classe moving to China, can Simaudio be far behind? Or McIntosh or Ayre or Pass etc.

Schubert, I thought it was "sell the rope FOR his own hanging".

I guess the hardworking Canadians at Classe aren't worth their salary anymore. Gotta love when a company moves production, yet the prices don't go down.

Here's another,

Lenin once scoffed that "a capitalist would sell rope to his own hangman."

Just another sign of the war against the 99%.
