Ayon Audio Made in China?

China has a lot more good engineers and electronic workers than Austria does, I have no problem with " made in China" on that score.
A Chinese owned company is another story .

I see it like VW putting 20 bucks worth of chrome rings
on a Passat and selling it for 10 grand more as an Audi.
Marketing plays to egos ,many WANT to pay much more for an Ayon when the could get the same thing from Consonance or whoever for half the price.
Marketing is devious by its very nature, if you want to believe it that's up to you.

A Vice-President of VW told me a A4 is a Passat in drag.
IMO what you describe is a placebo effect .

Therealist, I personally heard high execs of a major European auto maker refer to USA as "the sucker market" .

Nonoise, wise and so very true.

The reality is that almost every thought most have has was at some time written by a marketer.It seems original to the speaker because they may place things in different order
but still they are the product of a completely brain-washed mind .

Most do not realize that Hitler was NOT elected but appointed Chancellor by the German President thru a loop-hole in the Weimar constitution .
There is a famous study, in historical circles anyway, that show
polls by Milwaukee papers in '33 showed Hitler would have received 40 % of the vote there as opposed to the 29% he did get in Berlin.
About 40% of the German population was really sold on Hitler, but when being ratted out by anyone ,to include you spouse and kids, was a one-way ticket to the camps only the bravest of the brave uttered a peep .

If there was such a thing as a free market.
