HEGEL - Is it really made in Norway ?

Soniqmike,

In your OP you stated, "I have tried getting a clear-cut answer from dealers with no success." I find this very odd. As I mentioned in an earlier post, it sounds like they are standing shoulder-to-shoulder with Hegel. This is a lamentable indication of their lack of integrity.

Hegel has gotten nothing but good reviews since they came out. I always assumed they were made in Norway. I find it funny that none of the audiophile magazines disclosed that they were made in China. I am not a conspiracy theorist but this sounds like one.

I find it odd and very telling that no one from Hegel has bothered to chime in here. Many manufacturers participate on the forum, especially when problems of one kind or another are talked about regarding their products. I can think of a number of manufacturers who do not hesitate to join the discussions here. That Hegel will not even acknowledge this thread is truly lamentable, IMHO.

In all fairness to Hegel, very few people in China can speak any English.

Enough already with Hegal. Since this thread started I have this uncanny craving for a Bagel,and I don't even like them!
