Reads more like a "soft closure" to me... A way of letting dealers know that there will be no new product lines forthcoming from Classe` and they will also not be producing anymore 'stock' on existing models BUT they don't what to scare dealers into thinking the brand is dead. So support is there and seemingly nothing more... for the time being? Yeah, right. 
If you check into their dealers in North America,slim to none, it would appear that there in trouble
Quality in China is no better or worse then here in USA. The Transmission for your Cadilac cars are made in China ! Had a Pass intergrated unit made in California out of the box did not work or perform properly . I now have a tube amp made in China Ming Da Kt 120 other then one bad tube in which they replaced it for free the amp has 0 issues .Not to mention it sounds better then the Pass unit. I have been to China in the cities there airports and transportation is new and updated looks and runs better there then in the USA , I would moved there " but" I can not eat Chinese food . So , So much for that. But I do like the ladies .
In the good old days Classe was the best I owned. I still own several components from the 90,s tough to beat that fully balanced sound
 Once B and W took over that was the beginning of the end. IMO
I'm a dealer. First, Classe is part of the B&W group which was just acquired by a Silicon Valley firm which will understandably make some changes but to this point, nothing formal has been announced. From what we've been told, Sigma will remain as others have said but the new Delta series has been put on hold. Whether production will resume and move offshore or otherwise has not been announced. At this point, reading any further into anything is a waste of bandwidth. I'd guess BW Group hasn't made any final decisions.

It's also sad that people have such a misunderstanding of offshore manufacturing. I'd guess most have no concept of the dynamics and have never been anywhere near a manufacturing facility in China or otherwise. But hey, the internet says everything made in China has been built by untrained, underpaid children who work 25 hours a day with no food, water or sleep and if it's on the internet it must be true...
