Ayon - where is it REALLY manufactured ?


I used to own an Orion integrated. Great amp, great sound.

Something keeps bothering me though - I stumbled on a european e-zine hifi site where they were interviewing someone from Ayon in Austria.

He mentioned that the amps originated from China (under Ayon specs) where they received some final assembly and tweaking in Austria.

This might explain why it doesnt say ''Made in Austria'' on the back of the amps, just ''Austria''.

So, are we being led to beleive that this stuff is completely made in Europe when in fact it is not?

Everytime I tried to get a straight answer from Ayon USA on this topic - I came up empty....

Nonoise,
Just read an article that stated most "American" car, meaning most American made parts and American labor is the Toyota Avalon. Go figure.
BTW: Manufacturers are seeking new labor as China's labor prices are rising (as well as severe pollution).
Read another article about the expected future increase in cancer. Maybe there IS no such thing as a free lunch.
