I find the Asia (China in particular)  statement hilarious they grind our mediocre products at best. 

If you want cheap you can always turn to the east. Cutting edge is coming from the EU, North America and Japan (design) Then much is manufactured in China, ie NAD, Musical Fidelity. 

I am speaking only to Audio Systems and Components not printed circuits, chips, pcb's or capacitors and transformers. Though many of the above mentioned manufacturers are building their own transformers and capacitors these days to control the quality of the windings etc. 

Some just like to go against convention like myself that is why there are no audio components in my system with a COO of China in my system.

@richardbrand That is fine and that might be the case. They are the global leaders for electric cars for domestic consumption. As far as Kef is concerned I had one paid of their speakers and sold them in 10 months. Keep it context old boy hardly audiophile material other than the overrated Kef blades. 

Gd-day mates

@gano lets agree to disagree and steer clear of each other.

@richardbrand Nothing here about your system either. Was 20 years ago and I did not like them just as I think B&W is overrated retail stuff.

No offense I am done with the efforts to derail the OP'S post.

Start your own thread about KEF .

Gd-Day mate.

@richardbrand  Lovely country and I agree though there is some local audio manufacturing albeit small and specialized.  My company has a very strong presence in Australia and and we did quite a bit of sponsorship in you Supercar Series.

One advantage of being in Australia is that we are almost equally far from everybody else, except New Zealand.  Everybody wants to sell us stuff and we have no barriers to trade!
