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 .
S1nn3r posts :"If this is a question about Ayon's integrity. Ask yourself why Ayon isn't up front about where it is actually being manufactured."
This is a loaded question. S1nn3r seems to have some sort of agenda. THE QUESTION is whether Ayon is manufactured in China or not. Period. It has nothing to do with "integrity."
I would ask yourselves what is S1nn3r's objective here?
I don't understand why you find my post offensive. What I said is simply a fact that companies not being up front where their products are actually made is devious IMO. Rather than just labeling the country of where the HQ is. Otherwise this thread won't even exist.
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.
