What is this affinity of audiophiles to know where the specifics of where and what type of people made their equipment? Why does that matter if the end product is of superb quality? Some manufacturers even go to the extent of hiding where their products are manufactured ie REL, Hegel hides their country of origin.
This is a question i asked the comments section of stereophile in their monitor audio review. They were actively discussing these speakers are no longer made in the UK. The way i see it realistically, you just say you want it made by white dudes come on…
I am in the process of rebuilding my 30-year-old (musical fidelity, sonus faber) system. Part of my equation is to avoid made in China, or any other country with poor human rights. It’s a principle.
There is still plenty of fab hi-fi made in the UK, and perhaps other, more enlightened countries. If companies don’t boast where they manufacture, then it’s probably not what you want to hear!
