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.

I have a slew of american made audio equipment from  speakers to amps, preamps, subs etc. Also have a number of japanese and european made equipment.  With very few exceptions I have been very pleased.  I try to buy US made for the most part. Modwright, CJ,  McCormack, Rythmik etc. 

Now, I found a used pair of Dynaudio Evoke 50’s at a great price. Listened to them and purchased on the spot.  Putting this out there for those considering the speakers.  I knew they were made in China but I would have had to spend several thousand more to get into their league. Lots of premium manufacturers have their mid line speakers or components made in China. It allows them to provide better quality components at a competitive price.  Good for audiophiles on a budget  imo.
