Ayon - where is it REALLY manufactured ?
I used to own an Orion integrated. Great amp, great sound.
Something keeps bothering me though - I stumbled on a european e-zine hifi site where they were interviewing someone from Ayon in Austria.
He mentioned that the amps originated from China (under Ayon specs) where they received some final assembly and tweaking in Austria.
This might explain why it doesnt say ''Made in Austria'' on the back of the amps, just ''Austria''.
So, are we being led to beleive that this stuff is completely made in Europe when in fact it is not?
Everytime I tried to get a straight answer from Ayon USA on this topic - I came up empty....

Ayon is to licked for my taste and I don't fully trust the companies that do not have any ABOUT US information. You simply can not find out who the real folks behind, all they do is a huge secret, but why? Will not surprise me if their mega investments coming from Chinese, as their amps looks like it anyway. |

Trelja, I'd be surprised if Hegel gear is not assembled in Norway. My guess is that many companies don't clearly indicate the country of manufacturing due to the fact that in today's global marketplace even if a product is assembled in their home country many of the parts used are manufactured and sourced elsewhere. In other words, due to legal restrictions. |
