After looking at my audio system outside the Jena labs cables nothing I own is made in the USA,and it sounds killer to me...I could care less where it comes from..my amp is from New Zealand, my back up tube amp is from China,my failing cd player from Japan,my speakers are from Korea,my sub from great Britain.
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.

@arcticdeath, "apple the biggest,iphones, iPads, pods, etc etc. they have about 30$ worth of parts, and stuff, yet, they sell em for 1,000$ profit is the ultimate goal. Nothing else matters." Yes, but this is how they became the biggest company on the planet. And let’s not even talk about suicide nets outside windows for those poor workers nailed down into doing double shifts all year round. I’m not usually too bothered about where stuff is made providing it’s made well, and built to last, but I’m drawing the line at suicide nets. Especially when the company concerned seems totally unwilling to share even the tiniest tiniest portion of its incredibly vast profits with the people that provide the labour. I’d like to think that the IAG group who are also responsible for Quad, Audiolab, Mission, Luxman, Leak and Castle as well as Wharfedale don’t do business in such a way. https://www.wharfedalepro.com/about.php?id=76 |

This topic is 100% political. But I cannot discuss the reasons here. I think you should vote with your wallets. There are plenty of smaller brands with high value which get low attention on social media or the press. It’s just weird to me how brands like B&W and Sonus Faber command a higher price, while manufacturing in China. That’s a failing of dealers to me. Dealers should guide you towards high quality, high value equipment. But it’s so much easier to move B&W, Focal and Sonus Faber product which get max coverage. The buyer is already convinced. |
