Peformance at price point for speakers manufactured in China?

When it comes to being manufactured in China, the list would be shorter for what isn't.  I have no problem with products assembled in China.  I wonder how many negative posts and comments are made from an IPhone?

Sorry @bigtwin  , the point of my thread was not to make a negative post.  However, I was thinking that the reason a British speaker company would manufacture their product in China was to produce more product for the money, and I was just curious as to how much more product it would be.  That's all.

More likely more profit from the product. With consistent quality control, the final product is the same no matter where it’s manufactured.

@thecarpathian  ,  I guess that's kind of what I meant, as don't they all want to make as much profit as they can? In other words, if a company manufactures their speaker in China and sells it for 4k, what would that speaker sell for if manufactured in the US or in Europe?  So what I was wondering was could you take that 4k speaker which was manufactured in China and say it is "as good" as an a speaker manufactured in the US or Europe for X more amount of $.

@kennyc  , I suppose the comparison I was most interested in making would be with speakers manufactured in the US or in Europe.

@kennyc  , the reason I asked was because, as a hypothetical example, if it was widely known (except by me because I tend to be a bit of a cave dweller on this stuff) that a speaker manufactured in China that listed for 5k performed at the level of a US manufactured speaker that listed for 10k, I'd probably point myself in that direction.

That's all.  No big deal.

@mahgister  , not all inexpensive preamps sound good. As an example, in the mid 90s I was listening to my system with a B&K HT digital preamp.  I felt my system could sound more "musical" and I felt the the preamp might be what I should be considering.  As it happened, Audio Advisor was selling an extremely afforadable Vac pre (I found out later that Vac had a couple of different priced product lines at the time) and the brand name vac and the fact that it had a couple of 12AX7s in the circuit appealed to me.  I truly WANTED to like it.  That preamp sounded like nails on a chalkboard.

BTW, what is your picture of?  For some reason, it always makes me think of the cover to the Lou Reed "Rock And Roll Animal" CD.
