Parasound makes awesome stuff. I have the JC3+ and have yet to find anything that sounds better.
As for the made in Taiwan thing... I spent 20 years in the bicycle industry working for a medium sized bicycle manufacturer. We had our frames manufactured in several countries, including the U.S., but by far the best quality we ever achieved was in Taiwan. I know that bicycles are not the same as electronics, but the point is that Taiwan has really come a long way in their manufacturing excellence. China is also making some excellent quality electronics these days, but they constantly get bashed. Some of the worst products I've ever owned (reliability-wise) have been made in the U.S., U.K. and France. Probably the best track record for products I have owned have been Japanese made.
