Small monitor- made in the states

Please do yourself a favor and try or at least research the Silverline minuet. Made in the USA, small, affordable, easy to drive and sound great.

Hmmm, I'd agree that Alan Yun makes wonderful monitors, but I don't think his stuff is made in the U.S. They may be assembled in CA, but I'm pretty sure his drivers are sourced elsewhere, and the cabinets are actually made elsewhere (read: overseas). I could be wrong, but you might want to check into that if that's your criteria for buying a monitor. Of course some aspect of any of the products recommended here may also be actually made overseas and assembled here as well. It'd be pretty difficult to buy any electronic gear tthat is purely U.S. made inside and out.

All I know is the Silverline website states "proudly designed & handcrafted in the USA" at the bottom of the Minuet page. Not sure what "handcrafted" has to mean, legally. It may just be assembly. At any rate, they're great, and not just for the money.

Thanks so much everyone for all the input.
I should've stated that I have a small budget to work with ($500 or so) and that used is always an option. I am very interested in the Silverlines and have had two (long) talks with Fritz.
I really hope that no one got the impression that I have anything against any foreign country or people- I just value talking to people and small industry etc : it's healthy to eat what is locally grown.
thanks again everybody!

i second the fritz speakers. Amazing quality for a faction of the price!!
