purchasing US made speakers


I currently have psb imagine t2 speakers. I am interested in replacing them with US manufactured speakers 10-12 k being the maximum price....perhaps aerial acoustics, vandersteen,,,,,any thoughts? My hearing at age 70 diminishes at 8,000 hz so a good midrange is probably good.

I would second helomech with Eggleston Works. One of their standmount speakers, not sure which one, was a nice surprise. Nice enough to go back to that room a few times. Bache is another good one that flies under the radar.
jacobsen1948,

I understand. I just wanted to point out, in case you are very particular about the subject, that many speakers may have many parts from elsewhere.

For example, Aerial states that drivers, other parts, and some cabinets are largely not manufactured in the U.S.A. Assembly of the final speaker is fully in the U.S.A. while most of the parts seem to be from all over the world.
"We don’t have to go there. That discussion is threadbare."


It may be to you and me, but OP expressed interest in origin of his purchase.
If that is what will make it or break it. I cannot say it for a fact, but some of the drivers (from the companies from above mentioned American made audio website) may not be Made in U.S.A.
