Has anybody bought or heard a Chinese knock off amplifier?

There are a lot clones coming out of China and power amplifiers seem to be along for the ride.
Mark Levinson, Goldmund, and Accuphase are some of the big names I see replica’s being advertised for sale. These replica’s range in price from $500-$2000. My curiosity every time I see these always is do they even sound like the brand they are trying copy? Another thought that comes to my mind when I see them is, are they even safe or reliable. I myself wouldn’t touch one of these, but that’s me. Has anybody heard one? If so it would be interesting to hear some opinions regarding these amplifiers.

if you look at the way Chinese counterfeits are made and sold you will realise they are not meant to replace the real thing and are also not meant to fool a buyer. These are for people who want to fool other people into thinking they have the real thing
Going to need a second cup of tea before I can even begin to absorb that one...

The N.O. of cricket, or the N.O. of matter and energy teleportation using  the mind, specifically utilizing both hemispheres of the brain to create a channel through which the flow of matter and energy is realized?
Either way, bit of an odd post....N.O.thing wrong with that, simply making an observation.

A shame he doesn’t have a grammarchecker.
But, when one replies with such a weak retort, grammar may not be a priority.

Mistrust of China is ridiculous, how often does China send soldiers to invade another country?
You might like to address that question to our friends in India at this very moment.
Or pose that first part to our friends in Hong Kong and Taiwan.
Or Vietnam.
Or Thailand.
Or Cambodia.
Or any country near the South China Sea.
