Yes. APCI did take care of us when overseas. I was "forced" to go to Belgium, Wales and, of course, Walton-on-Thames.

Don't know if all industries there are similar but I attended an automotive trade show a couple of years back with a good Chinese presence ...
Chatting to one of their engineers it seems quality is up to the buyer ... you want cheap, they'll make it, give them your design and specs including mtbf and they'll make that too, saw some pretty ordinary stuff and some cast and or machined parts that were top notch, so you get what you pay for .... |

I remember, years a go, first time I heard some good and respected company from Europe that moved its production to China was VINCENT... Back then i saw and heard some mono amps and was confused.. great sound, excellent qualitiy, terrific looks...
After all these years, I check from time to time and two VINCENT's are on my mind... http://www.vincent-tac.de/produkte-n...line/sv-238mk/ and http://www.vincent-tac.de/produkte-n...umline/sv-800/ |

Someone should bring out a line of Chinese made speakers called Bing. Pair them with Bada amps and you've got a Bada Bing system.
But seriously, I purchased a used Classic No.16 EL34 tube amp for a pittance a few months ago and I was blown away by the SQ of the unit - I could live with it for a very long time. It is also very well built - reminiscent of the 80s Krell build quality. Last edited by triode12; 02-09-2017 at 08:55 PM. |

Axiom, Bryston, Anthem are made in Canada. Harbeths are made in the UK. Vikings make the Martens. I don't know about SVS or REL. As has been posted here, Magnapans and Wilsons are made in the USA. Audio Research and McIntosh (Binghamton, NY) are domestic.

The top five Chinese made audio companies today?
I have a Topping D50 DAC, designed and manufactured in China. Sounds unnatural, measures very well. Seems to be a popular brand in certain internet circles.Top 5? Dunno.

I have a PrimaLuna integrated amp, and a Holo Audio DAC, neither of which are slouches in in sound or build quality.
