New MOFI speaker (Andrew Jones)

@jjss49   +1   Keep it real. There a $3699 speaker made in China with a high % of Chinese made parts.

The bottom line is Chinese made products are not on the same quality level as most European or USA/Canadian made audio products. Exceptions always exists but to defend PRC made products is ludicrous. Quad is the perfect example of this issue. I would consider a Quad 2812 but even with UK management/ factory QC problems still exist making the speaker a ticking time bomb.

Ask yourself why the Point Source 10 is made in China? Profit for MO-FI is the number one factor(NOT QC) probably giving them the highest ROI. If the profit margin was higher in India or Mexico the speaker might be made there. How many of these gauche boxes will retain the claimed SQ of the prototype that is demoed at shows or the selected units passed on to so-called reviewers? Please stop the silly comparisons of i Phones and computers being made in China. These are throw away items that are necessities in current society not luxury items.

@nonoise   Thx for taking your time to reply.  HEA is a niche market unlike mainstream consumer items like computers, i Phones and televisions ect. I can't speak for everyone but many do not consider these luxury items. Some of us want our audio equipment made in countries with a proven track record of quality control. Several companies like Sonus Faber and Krell have moved out of China due to QC issues which have to a small degree tarnished the brand. Quad has lost some sales and reputation due to the 2812/2912 not being reliable. If made in China audio components meet your standards fine but some of us uphold to a higher standard.
