Ayon - where is it REALLY manufactured ?

Interesting. Look at the back of the units.

Hegel ALSO do not state ''Made in Norway"" just like Ayon does not print ''Made in Austria''

This is legally, a clear indication that those companies cannot claim full manufacturing in their European countries of origin. If they could label ''Made in..'' they sure would do it right?

It's all about content laws. American car manufacturers and Harley can get away with stating "made in America" due to content laws. They pay the politicians who approve legislation that determines what is made where by simple percentage factors. Europeans are no different. Every country caters to their base by patting them on the head and telling them that what they believe to be proudly made in their country is true. Very few companies can actually make that claim and when they do, they are very vocal about it.

All the best,

yes, the times of Made in...are gone....we all know where it is made by now. The question will be if it sounds good, is priced reasonably and do not break down in a month....

Hi, Not to get off the subject, I do own a Ayon 2s, thats the reason of my original post, However, I also own Krell, Krell only makes one cd player, and two intergrated amps that clearly states on the back of the unit, made in china, I respect them for their honesty!, All the other Krell Equipment clearly states, Made in the usa!, like that honesty to, the good ole usa, My amp not only says made in the U.S.A., it also says orange, connecticut and addresse on the back as well, I do agree with everyone here, This, only putting the country of orgin on back appears to be misleading and confusing at best!, lets say the unit is made in the country of orgin, does not say, made in austria, theres the confusion!

I think the Orion came from China, the rest of their gear from Austria.
