Best U.S.A. speakers?

What difference should it make if speakers are made in the united states, the only things that matter are sound/build quality.

PS- I get a kick out of USA direct sale companies like Salk saying of their HT3s, that:
"Normally, speakers of this quality retail from $12000.00 to $20,000.00 or more per pair."

or Ridge Street Audio Designs saying their the Sason Ltd should retail for $14295.00/Pr

No one would paid $12K-$20K for these speakers.

Csmgolf -

I haven't heard the HT-3 or Sason.

If I was shopping in Sason's asking price range, I'd listen to the Gradient Helsinki 1.5, Pioneer S-2EX and the USA built AudioKinesis Loudspeakers.

"What ever happened to the Escalante Design Fremont (made in Utah)? Only a couple of years ago, they were being touted as the best loudspeaker manufactured. Today, there's almost no discussion about them..."

Perhaps these measurements ended the discussion:
