Unusual countries for audio gear

My point is look at other data. Climate, GPD, education, cultural data, etc. Just the climate alone is a great indicator for e.g. capita per speaker companies. Look at Canada, they have indoor weather throughout most of the year, and they have proportionately more hifi companies. Scandinavia - look at weather and the long winter, they have more companies than France while a fraction of the population. 

Austria with 9 million people and major brands? Look at their history of composers.

How many hifi companies in Africa? Is it a mystery? Not at all. To me Estonia is not a surprise at all. What is more surprising is countries with no hifi brand, that would be a better question to me. But your question, your interest is your proragative, it's just my opinion....

Add Qualio, Cube Audio and Hattor Audio to the Poland list.

And add Tsakaridis to the Greece list. 
 

Antipodes servers/streamers come from New Zealand 

Pearl Acoustics speakers are made in Belgium.

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.
