Unusual countries for audio gear


We all know that audio product come from Canada, the U.K., America, Denmark, France, Italy, Germany, Australia.

What are some unusual places you've heard make really good stuff? Anything from Norway? Or New Zealand? How about Qatar or somewhere in the middle east?

@gano I cannot understand your point. Restate it, please? Norway-- far north. Has audio. Greece, much further south, different climate. China in the east, UK in the west. Etc. So you are saying...?

My point is look at other data. Climate, GPD, education, cultural data, etc. Just the climate alone is a great indicator for e.g. capita per speaker companies. Look at Canada, they have indoor weather throughout most of the year, and they have proportionately more hifi companies. Scandinavia - look at weather and the long winter, they have more companies than France while a fraction of the population. 

Austria with 9 million people and major brands? Look at their history of composers.

How many hifi companies in Africa? Is it a mystery? Not at all. To me Estonia is not a surprise at all. What is more surprising is countries with no hifi brand, that would be a better question to me. But your question, your interest is your proragative, it's just my opinion....

Add Qualio, Cube Audio and Hattor Audio to the Poland list.

And add Tsakaridis to the Greece list.
