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.

Dayglow,

I also feel that Hegel products are overpriced and that they should have come clean a long time ago by making it clear their products are Made in China -- so everyone could clearly judge for themselves.

Dave_72,

And so much good stuff made in the U.S. too -- and a lot cheaper. For instance the Atma-Sphere OTLs made by Ralph Karsten. And you will never have a customer service problem with Ralph -- unlike with Hegel, if you are unlucky like I was recently. I got stiffed by them.

If you think made in China is bad, try made in Norway. Norway is not known for their manufacturing.
