I'm guessing that won't be a popular statement. But I KNOW that Americans can do it better. Our audio products are better, our bicycle products are better.
The prices of high-end audio equipment are particularly hard to defend. It is a market where technical products are sold to people who have no knowledge of technology and have far more money than brains. Components that cost $40 to build can be sold for $40,000. American marketing companies are particularly adept at selling to this market segment, but that does not make their products better, just more expensive.
Many American brands are not built in America. It is smart to figure out that multiple brands are made on the same Chinese assembly line and merely put in different boxes to be sold at very different prices.
