Classe move to China


I've just learned that Classe has moved production to China. Has anyone taken delivery of a Made in China Classe product?

Will moving to China devalue the brand? Will quality suffer?

I am thinking of purchasing the new CA-M300 monoblocks, but this move has me hesitating.

No, but many do buy Chineese made gear under Chineese or British ownership. China has its problems, but it not viewed as an Iran under current regime as moral equivalents. Now a Persian carpet made before 1979? Maybe.
Schubert, that is a really long topic, but if Classe were being made in Germany, I would consider buying it, and VWs only from Wolfsburg.

The uninformed always bashing businesses ... How about the feds intervening with Boeing opening another plan in So. Carolina and because So. Carolina is not a right to work state, unions (Obama supporters) are fighting against the new plant.

I would hope they do something to save one of our largest exporters from suicide. South Carolina is one of the top illiterate states, among others from Appalachia.

You can't have illiterate people building aircraft. They need to be able to read and write. The more educated they are, the less chances of a poor made product, that is a higher risk, and costs the company a fortune to try and make it right.

Why should a company educate people that are to lazy to finish high school, let along any further education? Some technical school background wouldn't hurt, and what is wrong with a college degree? Is college a bad word now?

General Motors decided to hire people without even a high school diploma. It backfired on them. They had to pay their employees to get rid of them! A lot of them went back to Appalachia, with their money, spent it, and are looking for other big paying jobs now. There are not anymore big paying easy handouts for them, except now, maybe Boeing?

The companies that moved there (South Carolina), are having a hard time trying to find employees. So how will Boeing find any?

Why should educated people that have good jobs, have to move there?

It sounds like you have some financial gain in Chinese products, and don't care whether the country fails, as long as your pockets get filled.

If you want to see one of our best companies fail, there is something not right here...

We need to support our companies. Otherwise, we may not have anything left.

Iran is not a threat, it is a bullshit propaganda. By the way, they have an about 5000 years old great musical tradition. So not sure about amp but I would certainly buy Iranian speakers. They would be voiced well, believe you me.
How many of you who would never consider buying Chinese made hi-end audio gear shop at Wal-Mart regularly? If you combined all the sales of Chinese made audio gear ever sold on earth since the invention of electricity, you would not match the dollar volume of Chinese products sold thru Wal-Mart in it's first ten minutes this morning.

Consider a boycott where it matters.
