Couple years old now, but more and more of a reality as our favorite companies get swallowed by giant corps and start competing at the mass level. I bought a dining room set from a company named Pennsylvania House, a $11k set that I thought meant I was paying a premium for 'made in Pennsylvania', weli.... unless there's a Penn China I got boned!!! Every piece has a made in CHINA stamp on it. Doesn't make my food taste different when we serve in there, doesn't make the hardwood finish any less real, BUT when I pay more for a product marketing made in country of origin, I do it deliberately with the intention of supporting home employment and a living wage, NOT corporate greed. rant over.
Dynaudio - Made in China vs Denmark
Hi,
I recently Purchased a new pair of Dynaudios. The floor model I auditioned were 'Made in Denmark' but the pair which was shipped out by the dealer was 'Made in China'. They are still boxed. Whats should I do:
1. Swap with the showroom floor model (they were probably a yr or 2 old)
2. Unbox and use my 'Made in china' pair ?
My main concern here is the quality of the product from China. Resale values.
Anyone with experience please chime in.
