HEGEL - Is it really made in Norway ?



Not unlike Ayon, where it is just printed "Austria" and not "Made in Austria" (the usual and official terminology), are HEGEL products actually made and assembled in Norway or just "designed" in Norway and assembled somewhere in China?

I have tried getting a clear-cut answer from dealers with no success. Juste like for Ayon gear by the way.

Thanks if you can help.

That's exactly right - a portion of BMW's 3 Series is produced in Shenyang Province in China.

I think that anyone who acts prejudiced about audio equipment made in China is being completely naive and myopic. So you'll make life-affecting decisions using results from MRI machines and other medical equipment made in China, but you won't listen to Kajagoogoo's latest CD on an amp made in China? You'll plug in a toaster - which if made improperly could burn your house down - that was made in China, but you can't enjoy Hank Williams on speakers made in China? Please, give me a break. There's a good chance the transformer that your local utility company is using to produce the energy that is powering your audio system was made in China - what are you going to do, get a team of hamsters to spin a wheel and provide the power instead? If you want to be anti-Chinese-made products, you better get ready to go live in a cave.
