When did Musical Fidelity start making stuff in...

It has been a few years since they started making gear in Taiwan. I own a Tri Vista 300 that was made in England . A few years back I read some good things about some of the KW line but when I saw it was made in Taiwan and the still big price tag I kept what I have. A lot of companies are doing it now but it does affect my buying decisions when its chinese or taiwan made. Some think thats silly if it still sounds good but I am still not comfortable with those purchases. Japanese gear is a different story as they have been building some great stuff for decades. Cheers.

several years ago. However, this is in line with many high end companies including JM Labs, Krell, Kef, Cary Audio, Wharfdale, Quad, B&W, etc.

Most US and European companies do this with most of their models up their reference lines.

Quite frankly it is irrelevant the Chinese sourced gear is just as good as products made elsewhere.

Taiwan does not equal to China, neither politic nor quality.

Try to explain that to young mothers and those with pets. Plastic should be used to make speakers and toys - not food!

As for me, I like my European built cabinets and European built drivers and European built electronics...

I thought all of the Cary Audio gear was still made in North Carolina?? Is that not the case?
