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.

To Bill K.  Commended for what everyone and there mother knows that audio from china is 9 times out of ten a inferior less quality product those people take no pride in what they make  it’s always been that way.  Tahquitz

I recommend not buying "floor models", especially with speakers, as they typically have had a "hard life" and a lot of hours on them for their age.

For the last 20+ years, components for all sorts of products have been "globally sourced", so it's likely that the "Made in Denmark" label refers to where the final assembly took place.

Having said all of that, do what makes you happiest!

Personally, I'd return them. I recently bought the Evoke 20 speakers and mine are manufactured in Denmark. I refuse to pay the inflated prices that companies are charging for product coming out of China (whenever I can). I specifically searched for non-China speakers.

Well, those speakers made in China subsidized the pricing and increased the profit margins you paid for those made in Denmark so you should have asked for a discount as well.

All the best,

Do it for re-sale value. MID is perceived to be better than MIC…..otherwise your dealer would be demoing the MIC speakers in their showroom.
