HEGEL - Is it really made in Norway ?
Dayglow,I also feel that Hegel products are overpriced and that they should have come clean a long time ago by making it clear their products are Made in China -- so everyone could clearly judge for themselves.

Courant,I recently heard from a dealer friend in Singapore about another well-known Norwegian high end audio company with a similar attitude. He said he would never go near either of them. 
Marantz PM-11 S3 - thoughts?
Gotoma8,I had a whole string of Marantz amps before going OTL. If you try an Atma-Sphere there may be no going back.

Hegel Design Flaw?
Knghifi,Ralph Karsten or Paul Speltz may want to chime in with a technical explanation. The fact is that without the Speltz Zeros the Raidho C1.1s are hard to drive. But with them the sound is stunning and there is loads of headroom.

Zd542,I agree with you on this point. 
HEGEL - Is it really made in Norway ?
