Townshend or MuRata Supertweeters? Thoughts?

Does anyone on this Forum have any experience with Audio research ref 610t monoblocks

Give your dealer a shout-out for their top notch customer service.   
Dynaudio - Made in China vs Denmark
Even Dynaudio recognizes that country of manufacture matters, otherwise, why would only their top tier speakers be manufactured domestically.     
Precision Motor Controller
