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.

America also dude.

Also your MIC list is BS as many of those companies are manufacturing in China for Chinese Domestic Market Only. Their are anti dumping laws that prevent many of those companies from exporting to the US. 

 

Must have been made on a Monday. Like British cars from those times, the employees were working off their hangovers from the weekend.

It is hard to know the quality.  Having some experience, some companies set up their own factory and train the workers and buy good equipment for their chinese factories with serious quality control and IMO, those products can be just as good if not better then products produced elsewhere.  In other cases, the company reps will simply travel to the area of china that makes speakers and contract with a third party company to build speakers to some level of specification and leave the quality control to them, and even the design in some instances.  Dyn is a great company but we have all had great brand names make some poor products in china.  It is very hard to know.  Can you find reviews of the Chinese product or see it/listen to it first.  I feel like this is like any product, read, listen, inspect the actual product yourself.  Good luck.  

It is in your head and you will always wonder. Who would want that hanging over their head? It is difficult to shake those thoughts. I would say my self the eventual stress and ask for the switch. 

Looks like jerry's got his wires crossed, as usual. Those companies listed have American products sold here, made there. And yes, there is an audience of buyers there as well. It isn't one way or the other: it's both ways being done at the same time with it being very, very easy to build for both intended audiences in the same plant. 

As for quoting me, did it go over your addled head that I was referencing a British made product that the person who mentioned it, has (the 1979 Tannoy made in London)?

All the best,

In the 1950s and early 60s, anything made in Japan was generally considered to be junk (and some of it was). As others on this thread have said, the branding company's profit margin is usually the biggest determining factor in the quality of the product. Chinese manufacturing facilities are equal to anything that the US has to offer (or probably any other country). Still, it is hard to shake that 'Made In China' stigma that many people have a hard time overcoming.
