Chinese Loudspeakers ARE GOOD

I believe that American economic ethnocentric view of the world has negated the low budget Audiophile the opportunity to enjoy excellent audio products.
I recently purchased a pair of Chinese loudspeakers that rival in manufacturing details and performance many North american and "Exotic" European products.
Having been in this hobby for more than 30 Years, I can brag on having listened to a lot of different speakers as well as to having devoloped a good "ear" to detect flaws on what I am listening.I've learned that MUSICALITY is what matters.
First, it is taken as a fact that Chinese Tubes or Valves are no Good. However, Siemens, Mullard and the like British Valves are "top of the line".That same prejudiced mentality, leads buying decisions all across the audio enthusiast world, be that, when buying cables to deciding on a CD player. Well , one thing is for sure, the prices asked for a quad of NOS tubes of the brands mentioned before is abusive, to say the least.
Besides, the Chinese also had enough intelligence and manpower to be a Nuclear Power.Do you think our bombs are better? We need to destroy the audio hype and promote the hobby by making it affordable to most people and not a status symbol. All for the love of music!
Having heard the performance to price ratio of products like Cayin, Ming Da and others, motivated me to buy a speaker by JINYON AUDIO CO. LTD called Elite Aesthet VI.
This speaker will blow you away and you will not spend $1500.00 on a pair, that is, if you can get a pair.

Just as a point of fact, yeah, our bombs are better. I'm not aware of any Chinese set-to-yield devices and their capability to deliver them doesn't hold a candle to ours. Our current deployment of weapons allows us to execute a nuclear strike with high accuracy anywhere on the face of the Earth in minutes. 
Ironically, it was the advent of nuclear warfare that propelled the advancement of tube technology beyond the 50's which is why the Russians got so good at it.. The Chinese and Russians military electronics we're often tube based because tubes are impervious to EMP bursts from nuclear weapons.

Chinese friends of mine try to buy anything but Chinese made products. They export much american audio to china. I think china can make anything as well as other country's but they do have a history of caveat emptor and a culture that favors early replacement not repair-ability and I see this in much of what I get my hands on that china produces. Japan had a history of inferior products till honda sony toyota. I think at this time China's more into coping than innovation but with time that will end. Germany used to be known for high quality not so much so today they have adopted a bit of caveat emptor... VW.

Good! It is the natural cycle. Japanese cars used to be crap and now they are among the best. I wish China every success on the journey from crap to the best.

China has a huge advantage over Japan in having started out with the worst crap possible - so the potential for improvement is astronomical!

If I may paraphrase an old saying on Chinese food:

The good thing about Chinese speakers is, after you listen to them, you have to go back and listen some more.
