Red rose Affirmation made in china, any problems??

Let me clarify, they do not make the best. I apologize for using the wrong word. I was thinking about their ABILITIES when I typed the last thread. They are NOT the best but I am sure that they can move their way up to be the BEST with their abilities nowadays. As a lot of others has discovered, their standards of the industrial on both computer parts & electronic (parts) can equal (or better) than a lot of other leading countries. No doubt their stuffs are being more competitive nowadays... by FAR from the best? I would they they are close to the best. QC might be a problem but if this issue get fixed up, their stuffs should at least worth a try? Many manufacturers has moved their warehouse and production line to China. I am sure M.Levionson knows what he is doing. No offense guys, people has different experiences, different luck with Chinese made electonics. Some likes them, some don't. They are a growing teen and I sure will support them by giving their stuffs a few tries in my audition. =)

Just found a typo in the previous thread that I submitted within this thread on 03-20-04. Last sentence should say:

"I am sure M.Levinson has took care of this issue. He wouldn't be stupid enough to put something bad under his name."

Sorry if this has caused confusion. =)

The Chinese might not make the best, but they sure are closing in fast. I own a Classic intregrated amp, and Aurum Cantus speakers, and could not be happier. The fit and finish on both are simply outstanding, and priced at a point that makes me shake my head in amazement. I think that we will find in the near future a great many audio companies outsourcing to the Chinese, and I have no qualms whatsoever in purchasing those products..just my humble opinion.

Again, I will say the Chinese have made astounding progress. I would even say the analogy of a growing teen undervalues them a bit. I would say they are like an engineer, two or three years out of college. No, they are not yet senior members of the team. But, they have been identified as stars, and will be leaders of the pack down the line.

My heavy handedness towards high priced high end equipment that does not pass muster is a result of seeing lesser Chinese equipment give it a run for the money, and in some cases, exceed it. So, megabucks equipment producers better wake up and smell the coffee.

Infinity_audio, you still haven't clarified your relationship with Red Rose. Please do so...

Not related at all. Just a satisfying customer. I have had both their integrated amp and speakers in my bedroom setup before I remodeled the room and was forced to let go this secondary system. You have to hear them to believe, for their performance, if without a MADE IN CHINA tag, they will be asking for even more. No doubt they are a bit pricy if you look at them as they were from China, but I can tell you, this system a top quality integrated system! I have no connection/relation/affliation with Red Rose Music neither with M.Levionson. I am nothing more than just a satisfying customer, like all others who has had a successful story with Chinese made audio gears.

PS: Not only RedRose Music has Chinese OEM for them. So does a lot of other brands too, like Music Hall and lots of other famous brands... and guess what, Denon has just closed their top-of-the-line DVD player production lines and moved it to China. Open your eyes fellows, can those big corperatons positively think they are gambling? Come on now, if Denon & Sony move their product lines to China, Chinese has got to be more than ready to take em' over! Yes, they do have low labor cost, but hey, it's Denon's top-of-the-line model, it wasn't all about labor cost, it's about quality too! At of today, they are one of the leading country in electronic manufacturing. This is without a doubt! =)
