rwineer, as best as i can ascertain vincent is the trademark of a german company, sintron, which outsources its production to the chinese company shengya. shengya also markets its own branded,lower-priced identically-spec'd products; it's not crystal clear whether the shengya-branded products are identical to the vincent-branded products, or which company designs which (according to 6 moons, some models are common to both brands, while others are specific to asian/western markets). irrespective, as i've noted above, the vincent products i've heard are superb and very, very good values. this is not bose--i.e. overhyped stuff marketed to the unwary--but very well-reviewed, real audiophile-grade gear which is carried by reputable dealers.
