You mean a "press 1 for English" shows up on the AV remote if the speakers were made off shore? I figured I would know they were if they failed in the first week like the Chinese generator I tried to use when the power went out last winter, but I'd like to avoid that with new speakers. Tell us, Paul, are they made in Hope? (And I don't mean the kind of false Hope in the Hopey Changey campaign; I mean Hope Arkansas down the road.)
