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.

Sorry, but I don't always get those abbreviations. All I can think of is the car (VW).

Vez,

It looks like anything goes -- as long as you can get away with it. That's what passes for morality these days. This is a sad commentary on the decline of business ethics -- and much more, IMO.
Audio companies get away with all sorts of shenanigans. Claims are often made that bear no resemblance to reality. We know this is supported by reviewers and we often expect no better. But to create the image that your product is made in your home country when it is actually Made in China -- and then stonewalling over the matter -- is taking deception to a whole new level that is totally unacceptable, IMO.
I find it odd that any high end audio company would be willing to risk their reputation over the basic matter of product labeling, and over the basic matter of not standing behind their product (referring back to the recent interaction I had with Hegel posted about in another forum thread).
