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.

The horse has left the barn in a BIG way�is the computer you're using made in Detroit?"

No. But how's a computer that's made in Detroit going to help you catch a horse?

S1nn3r,

I totally agree. Needless to say, I would never go near another Hegel product after my recent experience with them.

Did you notice, not a peep out of Hegel to explain things here. Ted Denney of Synergistic Research, Ralph Karsten of Atma-Sphere, Bobby Palkovic of Merlin -- God bless him -- would all have chimed in by now. Not a word from Hegel.

Hegel might be a bunch of greedy business men that "hang a shingle" in Norway and are able to have(Opera Audio?) build good sounding but inferior/over priced gear! What upsets me is the HEA media has been a lap dog for Hegel for the last 5 years? FWIW Opera has been manufacturing the Well Tempered Lab "golf ball" tables which still has a rabid cult following.
