My post is not intended to shed negative light on the brand. I actually OWNED an Ayon Orion with no issues except for replacing 2 remotes at $ 140.00 a pop.. It was a good-sounding amp and probably worth the money. This site for me is first and foremost about have fun, and getting some good insight on the buying and selling of audio gear.
Suggesting that I call the importer - distributor is futile. I was never even given an answer to my suspicions that Ayon is assembled in China (spurred by my cheaply-built and expensive remotes).
Still, I am allergic to BS of any kind. And my voicing it here is no more harmfull than a comment in the "letters" section of a printed audio rag.
And Audiogon is to be credited to allow us to voice our concerns.
