Dynaudio - Made in China vs Denmark

Hmmm. Saw this thread and realize no-one has posted since the origin of manufacture became a main focal point here. I looked at one of my systems recently and without regard to place manufacture, I realized the following:

American made doesn't mean the best of hi-fi;

Chinese made (via a First World manufacturer) doesn't mean it is unreliable;

Simply put, the quality control of Bowers & Wilkins maintains its reputation wherever the item is assembled. Example: The $4,000+ 705 Signatures. I bought these to replace KEF LS50s and while they are 2.5 times the price, these are outstanding. The quality control, the luscious Italian wood veneer and finish and the sound---these are simply outrageous when coupled with proper amplification. For my office kit, I have the 705 Sigs being pushed by a McIntosh MA252 hybrid Valve/SS unit (USA). The Rega P8 is from the. UK, the Marantz ND8006 is from Japan and the Magnum Dynalab tuner is from Canada....Nonetheless, the sound is global: simply "Out of this world". Chinese manufacturing is based on the specs and quality control/budget of the company employing their massive population.

It's that simple.

"and then racism made it to the audio forums."

Instead of racism a reluctance to buy MIC gear might be related to a desire not to do business with a totalitarian communist dictatorship which oppresses its people and steals others intellectual property.

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.

I have had several sets of Dynaudio speakers.  Going back to 2017, I had a set of S40's made in Denmark, The contour 20i made in Denmark. Then recently I bought the confidence 20 and now I have the confidence 30 speakers. All made in Denmark. I have a 2 year old pair of Emit 20's out in the garage on a third system, those are made in China. I am under the impression that the Contour and Confidence series are made in Denmark the rest in China. For $1000.00 for the Emit 20's, I wasn't expecting much, at the same time they sound great out in the garage.

Just checked, (because of this thread ). My special 40's, and Exite 340's made in Denmark.
