Peformance at price point for speakers manufactured in China?


Lately I've been doing some "window shopping" for speakers on various sites, and  this question pertains to how much more speaker one can get for the money when they are manufactured in China.

Specifically, I did some browsing on Music Direct and came across the Wharfedale Elysian 1.  I see a listing for a pair with stands that claims it has been marked down from 5800 to about 4k (this does not appear to be an open box) which is interesting, because a pair WITHOUT stands is listed at 5k; but regardless, if these speakers were not manufactured in China, how much more would they probably list for?

 There is no definitive answer to your question. I will say that several reviews Ive seen on the Elysian 4 say they are a bargain, competing with speakers at twice their price point. That is what being made in China does....
