I have owned four pieces of Classe equipment. All were purchased new. They were all enjoyed for many years and sold here on AudioGon. Undoubtedly they are still performing well and providing continued enjoyment.
I will not purchase any Hi End gear manufactured in China. I don't care where it is engineered or how many quality control procedures are implemented in the factory. Will the new Classe still be playing 20 years later?
They are taking decent paying jobs from North Americans and handing them to China in the name of increased profits. I would rather pay more for commodities and do so where there is a choice. So many products are only made in China such as the wash machine hoses and the grille spatula I had to buy. When I have a choice, I will pay more for a US/Canadian made product.
Some people may not care, but the majority sentiment expressed so far indicates that it will eliminate Classe from consideration against competing brands made in North America and European countries.
