HEGEL - Is it really made in Norway ?

Onhwy61,

May I respectfully point out that I did not start this thread. Many of us have expressed their ideas and feelings around the issue at hand. One may speculate what effect, if any, this has had on Hegel's sales. By the same token, this kind of speculation would fairly apply to countless other threads on the forum.

Zd542,

I agree with you that a lot of people buy their equipment based on the opinions of reviewers. Which is why they are highly valued and so frequently quoted.

Kalikid2013.

You stated, "this tour [of the McIntosh factory] was an incredible experience, an experience that is not possible with products made overseas ... it makes me proud to support hard working American men and women who take great pride in the quality and workmanship of their product." I wish I were able to take the tour myself. I am sure your feelings are shared by many others.

Yes, I am sure you are correct. Where do you reside BTW?

Just for fun, I emailed Hegel where their items were produced, I will post if they reply.

Kalikid2013,

I will be interested in knowing if Hegel replies to you regarding where their products are made. I live in Asia.

Well if you ever find yourself in the US, let me know and we can take a trip up to Birmingham.

So far no reply from Hegel.

Last year, they were at the NY audio show. If they are there this year in November, I will ask them.
