Dynaudio - Made in China vs Denmark


Hi,

    I  recently Purchased a new pair of Dynaudios. The floor model I auditioned were 'Made in Denmark' but the pair which was shipped out by the dealer was 'Made in China'. They are still boxed. Whats should I do:

1. Swap with the showroom floor model (they were probably a yr or 2 old)

2. Unbox and use my 'Made in china' pair ?

My main concern here is the quality of the product from China. Resale values.

Anyone with experience please chime in.

What is the model?! 
 

If it’s been stated I apologize but that to me would make a big difference. If I bought some Contours or Confidence that are advertised as made in Denmark I would return them if they changed manufacturing locations without the dealer telling me. Or…. I would suggest a large discount. 
 

I can’t imagine any of their other models are made in Denmark. Maybe Special 40? 

Jakeman: "But, I prefer not to buy from a country that has nuclear weapons aimed at us" The US does not have nuclear weapons aimed at China? The US did not bomb the crap out of Lao - the per capita most heavily bombed country ever in the world? Seriously, why would anyone buy anything from a country that elected your previous president? Some of you on this site are unbelievably racist.

@laoman As an Asian myself you are not adding anything to the thread by calling everyone who disagrees with you as "Racist". Is Criticism or and negativity not allowed ?

Do you not see the rise in Crime/violence against us Asians with our Current President ?   Also "Elected your previous president"....unlike China.

Live in the Present ,for the Future and Learn from the Past.

Keep your name calling and politics out of this thread.

Now back to serious discussion.

sethbowers and laoman:  Just because somebody doesn't want to purchase a product made in a certain country, doesn't mean they are necessarily racist.

My Asian wife and her whole family have no love for anything China.  Nor does my my best friend, who happens to be Asian, of nearly 40 years.  Are they also "racist"?

I don't want to purchase anything made in Russia.  Am I now a "racist"? 

Several of my close friends only purchase Toyota's.  Are they "racist"?

Stop being part of one of the biggest problems in this country by looking at everything through the lens of race.  FFS

Now Jakeman's statement on China's nuclear capabilities may be misinformed, but that doesn't necessarily mean he's a racist.

 

Anyway, if the OP wants to limit his dollars going to help the economy of a particular nation, that's his choice.  That's the free market.  If he likes the product, but would prefer the Danish made models, no biggie.  He can see if his dealer would like to swap out for their demo models.  By that same token, if someone doesn't mind or prefers to purchase products made in China or any other country, that is also their choice and shouldn't be attacked or slandered, just the same.

While concern about where a particular product is made may not be in itself racists, it does show either internal prejudice or concern with other's prejudices.

 

I don't doubt for a minute I could find mistreatment of certain peoples, or some unfair practices in every country on this earth. I'm sure I've purchased items of all sorts from manufacturers and countries that engage in harms to some people. One could measure one country against another in making this choice which totally ignores the individuals and/or single manufacturer in equation. For instance, I could purchase product from a country I prefer, yet from individual or manufacturer that mistreats people. I could also purchase from less preferred country from individual or manufacturer that treats people well.

 

Do people seriously believe all citizens/companies from any individual country are all uniformerly bad or good?  Are those so focused on audio equipment country of origin as concerned about all their other purchases? I presume every single individual on this planet has purchased products from entities that have caused harms to others. How does one draw the line when these products so ubiquitous?
