Wharfedale Elysian 4 Incredible build quality and sound, but made in China.

When I walked into the shop my eyes were struck by these gorgeous looking beauties. Then I sat down and took a listen and said to myself they must cost $20000.-25000. When the dealer told me $10000. I was floored. What the hell, how can this be? Then he explained they’re made in China. I thought to myself, well if they’re who cares they look and sound fantastic.

I’d pay the extra 5k for the speaker to be made in USA, at least so far as the Tritons are concerned

stereo5, you are the only one here thumping your chest and crying. I have zero interest in american politics. I value companies that take pride in their rich history and heritage and am willing to pay a premium for it. I stand by what I said, if a speaker was made in the USA, I would pay a significant premium for it. That is why I am looking at upgrading to Wilson, or other made in USA speakers one day. It annoys me that my JBL were made in Mexico.

And by the way I already bought my McIntosh gear like two weeks before I even made my comment at close to full retail price, a brand new MC462 power amp and matching C53 preamp. I spent over $20,000 Canadian dollars on the equipment. Your assumptions about me and calling me out on BS were and are unfounded.
