richieb Posted May 16, 2017 Share Posted May 16, 2017 I'm sitting here looking at my collection of speakers and electronics and am happy and proud that nearly each piece was manufactured in the good 'ol USA. All 6 amps, both tube and SS and all Klipsch speakers are made in Hope the exception being the 2 Klipsch sound bars made in China. Two CD players are made in Japan which for me is a good thing for overall hi-fi quality and sound. Just an observation but with the flood of Chinese gear over the past 10-15 years I've managed a collection of great sounding American made gear.

Moderators dtel Posted May 16, 2017 Moderators Share Posted May 16, 2017 Our Klipsch we actually use were made in the USA. MWM/402 horn, 4 Forte ll's. 2 original Forte's, 2 Cornwalls lll's, Heresy's two pair 1 and 2,....some we don't use, RB-75's probably china but will be gone soon, some in ceilings never used probably china. For HT, AVR is Pioneer, probably china, my last was Yamaha and it said made in Malaysia. BR player samsung china I guess TV Vizio probably china For 2 CH DAC china Ev DX-38 made in Germany Crown D-75 amps x 2 made in the USA, it says so on the back, I was a little surprised.

derrickdj1 Posted May 16, 2017 Share Posted May 16, 2017 I am more concern with the quality of the gear more than I am with where they made. I see where the OP is proud of made in the good ol' USA! There are benefits to our local and national economy but, some good quality gear can come from other countries. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rjw1678 Posted May 16, 2017 Share Posted May 16, 2017 My La Scalas made in Hope, Arkansas. My McIntosh MCT450, C2500, and MC225 made in Binghamton, New York. I did buy my all my equipment used. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jason str Posted May 16, 2017 Share Posted May 16, 2017 My Sony ES CD players are probably made in communist China along with the Mini DSP. Everything else was either made here in the US, England or Denmark. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richieb Posted May 17, 2017 Author Share Posted May 17, 2017 My thread was more observation than a commentary on American made vs. all others. I've owned Chinese gear on more than one occasion and its all been pretty decent stuff. Just so happens at this juncture nearly all my gear is US made. Nothing to read between the lines here. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My guess is the H/K 730 is made in some foreign place as well. Everything else was right at least, much comes from sweat labor out of the shop as well.

richieb Posted May 17, 2017 Author Share Posted May 17, 2017 I have a 430, on a shelf, somewhere. Like Jason too lazy to find it but that model is old enough to be made in the US. Doesn't really matter, it is anchoring the shelf nicely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chriswhotakesphotos Posted May 17, 2017 Share Posted May 17, 2017 Klipsch KP-201 manufactured in the US, and I believe Adcom manufactured here when they made my preamp. Sub 12, my DAC and my Emotiva A-300 were all made in China. That's all my daily listening, but I also have a pair of KG 5.2s and an Adcom GFA-535 amp that were made here (or so I believe the Adcom was.) Synergy F-20, RP-280F, and (I believe) Adcom 7607 were all made in China. All my sources (PC, Wii U, Famicom Mini, Nintendo Switch) were all made in China. Oh, and my Schiit USB Decrapifier was made here! It's a $100 box of what's-it-do, but it did help remove some noise. (Though if anybody's wondering, it doesn't do anything for USB ground noise) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
