HEGEL - Is it really made in Norway ?

"09-13-15: Sabai
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!

Zd542,

LOL. But the Norwegians I talked to at Hegel all spoke perfect English.

Yogiboy,

I could use one myself. I live in Asia and have developed a serious medical condition -- Bagel Deficiency Syndrome.

Zd 452, I am sure the head honchos that run Hegel aren't Chinese. They are more likely Europeans that speak English. I think they were rather be in denial than chime in.

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.

Is it possible manufacturer location is not a factor on SQ to the reviewers?

Most reviewers and customers judge an AUDIO component with their ear and not stuck in the weeds with inconsequential noise.
