purchasing US made speakers

Yes @yogiboy  I've never seen that site before a pretty comprehensive list thanks for the link.

Would you consider horns?  I use to have Sonus Faber Amati Tradition Homage speakers.  After selling them I went on a mission to find new speakers and never would have considered horn speakers.  However, when comparing horn to other non horn speakers including Vandersteen, I was blown away on how good horns sounds.  I ended up purchasing Viking Acoustic Grande Voix that are made in Sante Fe, NM.  They have a Berlin speakers that is awesome sounding in your price point.  The owner /designer is David Counsel.  Check our tge website and give him a call/

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.

"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.
