HEGEL - Is it really made in Norway ?

"Look at Sonus Faber. I'm sure some folks still would prefer having the "handmade in Italy" metal tag on the back on their entry-line products. No longer the case."

Just to be clear,only the Venere line of Sonus-faber speakers are being made in China. The new Chameleon line of entry level speakers are being produced in Italy.

But you will never sell a Vuton handbag that would be made in China even if it could be better made, to a lady who can afford the real thing.

Vuitton carries a certain level of prestige and REPUTATION so wherever it's manufactured, Vuitton will manufacturer them to the SAME level of quality. Another words, I don't care where it's manufactured.

Knghifi,

Seems like Dayglow answered all your question.

2 peas in a pod! LOL!!!

Zd542,

You stated, "How else would you read that? No one here is bashing companies that clearly label the country of origin. Were bashing the ones that try to trick people. And notice I said companies, not countries. This has nothing to do with China. It has everything to do with Hegel."

I totally agree.

Regarding the talk about racism and xenophobia, I live in Asia and am married to a local girl. From my point of view this has nothing whatsoever to do with racism or zenophobia. This is about deceptive business practices and nothing more.

Thank you Sabai. I can't think of anything lower than throwing racial comments into a conversion, just to manipulate it in some way. There's plenty of western audio manufacturers that clearly state, Designed Here, Made There. Its really no big deal, and I would feel more comfortable buying from a company that doesn't hide from the fact.
