Classe move to China

Germany should be watched closely too. Remember what they did, twice?

I have owned four pieces of Classe equipment. All were purchased new. They were all enjoyed for many years and sold here on AudioGon. Undoubtedly they are still performing well and providing continued enjoyment.

I will not purchase any Hi End gear manufactured in China. I don't care where it is engineered or how many quality control procedures are implemented in the factory. Will the new Classe still be playing 20 years later?

They are taking decent paying jobs from North Americans and handing them to China in the name of increased profits. I would rather pay more for commodities and do so where there is a choice. So many products are only made in China such as the wash machine hoses and the grille spatula I had to buy. When I have a choice, I will pay more for a US/Canadian made product.

Some people may not care, but the majority sentiment expressed so far indicates that it will eliminate Classe from consideration against competing brands made in North America and European countries.

Is Classe reducing the price of their equipment by 50% due to the lower cost structure of manufacturing in China?

If not, nobody should be anything from Classe. They are just ripping off the customer.

Anyone would buy made in Iran Rowland or Pass?

Inna,Germany did not start WWI, the Russian Czar and French
Bankers had more to do with it than the Kaiser .
WWII was chapter 2 of WW I and blaming Germany and crushing them under reperations,combined with the american
bubble collapse aka Great Depression brought it about.
Voting analysis shows the German voted less for the principles they are cursed for than other nations do routinely in good times.
True,Germany will be eternally guilty for the holacaust
as will americans for slavery.
There are no innocents,we are all guilty.
