Ayon - where is it REALLY manufactured ?

About Xindak, I did own an integrated a few years ago. It was ok but not great. Sounded like most other chinese integrateds out there, not very detailed. It is of course nowhere near as refined as an Ayon product as the low price would suggest. I got rid of the Xindak after 6 months as I just could not make the sound work for me, no matter how hard I tried. Furthermore, and I wish I had a polite way to say this - looks count for me - and Xindac designs are pretty ugly in my own very subjective opinion. Sorry to call a cat a cat.

Just to set the record straight about Ayon, they do make great gear - just not impressed with their lack of info on product origin and company info.

If it does not say made in Austria you better believe it's made in China!

Hi sonicbeauty, This is Keith, I was currious to know what Ayon equipment you own?, Happy Listening.

@ Quad-man, thankyou for your 8-11-13 post.

Certainly the country of origin conveys a sense of quality but the real question is what is the real quality that you are getting at the end of the day. LM Audio is a Chinese based manufacturer and builds damn fine products with very high quality parts and construction. From a marketing standpoint, it may be advantageous to insinuate that it is made in Austria but from an overall standpoint it may be in the best interest of both the consumer and the company to build things somewhere else in the world to get the quality for price ratio needed. If that is the reality the company should be straight up with its customers and be able to communicate that to its customers rather than hide it. I have been wary of Ayon just because of how they market their products here, seeming to purposely bend and stretch the truth.
