I’m very late to this thread. I bought an Evoke 25C from an authorized online retailer recently to replace the center channel on a secondary system that I hardly use. I had an Excite X28C that was an 8 ohm speaker and quite frankly the dialogue sounded muffled whenever I watched movies. The MIC Evoke 25C is much better sounding than the X28C that was made in Denmark. I can understand the dialogue now. I do have Contour 60Ci and Contour 25Ci on my main system that are all made in Denmark. I love those Contour so much that I’ll use them under they don’t work.
Dynaudio - Made in China vs Denmark
Hi,
I recently Purchased a new pair of Dynaudios. The floor model I auditioned were 'Made in Denmark' but the pair which was shipped out by the dealer was 'Made in China'. They are still boxed. Whats should I do:
1. Swap with the showroom floor model (they were probably a yr or 2 old)
2. Unbox and use my 'Made in china' pair ?
My main concern here is the quality of the product from China. Resale values.
Anyone with experience please chime in.

Couple years old now, but more and more of a reality as our favorite companies get swallowed by giant corps and start competing at the mass level. I bought a dining room set from a company named Pennsylvania House, a $11k set that I thought meant I was paying a premium for 'made in Pennsylvania', weli.... unless there's a Penn China I got boned!!! Every piece has a made in CHINA stamp on it. Doesn't make my food taste different when we serve in there, doesn't make the hardwood finish any less real, BUT when I pay more for a product marketing made in country of origin, I do it deliberately with the intention of supporting home employment and a living wage, NOT corporate greed. rant over. |
@ mickeyb said it & I agree 1000%!!! |
China is most probably the most technologically advanced country in the world these days and their manufacturing prowess would be superior to manufacturing in Denmark. So, if your speaker said "Made in China", you could count your blessings because it is probably better made now than when it was "Made in Denmark"....(due to China’s superior manufacturing prowess). Hence...don’t worry so much and enjoy the music.
