HEGEL - Is it really made in Norway ?


Not unlike Ayon, where it is just printed "Austria" and not "Made in Austria" (the usual and official terminology), are HEGEL products actually made and assembled in Norway or just "designed" in Norway and assembled somewhere in China?

I have tried getting a clear-cut answer from dealers with no success. Juste like for Ayon gear by the way.

Thanks if you can help.

That's a shame. I always thought they were made in Norway.

Chinese are fully capable of building anything as well as anyone in the world .

Capable is one thing. Doing is another.

I imagine that every post in this thread was produced on a computer or phone made in China.

Taters,

I also thought they were made in Norway. Until I looked closely and realized they only say Norway -- not Made in Norway.

S1nn3r,

I agree with you that they are misleading people. The units say Norway but they do not say Made in Norway.

Schubert,

I agree with you. But there are also a lot of poorly made products coming out of China these days.

Oldcar63,

You stated that your dealer friend said, "they were over priced in comparison to other lines". Were you referring to Consonance or Hegel products -- or both? Please clarify.
