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....

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.
Hi,

Xindak

is an authentic high-end Chinese brand no false origin claims their loudspeaker cables are some of the best on earth their hybrid stereo amplifier along with Bryston's are in my opinion the best sounding available at any price.

I'll be buying another Xindak amplifier so I can test my 40K mono blocks against it as a reference point.

Cheers,
