the only thing worse than a flood of products from a territory that dismisses human rights and intellectual properties, is the flood of products which are being marketed as 'name brands', or silently sold as if they are still what 'they were', and are simply 'badged' as such. 'anyone' with enough capital can phone-in(and badge as 'designed by')orders for any product you can name. If Harley Davidson did this, they would not be able to keep it a secret....Since many audio companies are privately owned, disclosure is not necc. It would be the right thing to do, but will be unlikely, given the conditions their products are made under, and the margins they can make. there are lots of great sounding products that come from China, and i wouldn't criticize anyone for buying anything they liked...the 'makers' do owe it to their consumers however to be honest about their products. otherwise 'the name' means nothing.
