It’s a global world & there a probably many examples of good & not so good ( at least in value) audio products from just about every country. Long term reliability & accompanying manufacturer support generally seems to be what separates the best brands from the rest which has real importance to me. I can’t be bothered with hassling & waiting for responses & repairs as I work too much & to hard to need any more stress in my life. I listen to music in part to de- stress.
That said, I enjoy eating mostly ethnic foods, especially Asian food & listen to nice music through fine US made audio components that give me lots of pleasure with very little trouble. I do enjoy a nice espresso made by my beautiful Italian machine. It’s a big world.
