High end electronics are not made in the USA they are more appropriately assembled in the US.
Not always. Magnepan for example buys raw materials in the US and fabricates in-house. Even the resistors, inductors, and capacitors in the crossovers are US made. White Bear Lake, Minnesota.
McIntosh (Binhamton, NY) and Cary (Cary, NC) also fabricate in-house. In Canada, Bryston Ltd (Ontario) does much the same, and offers a 20 year transferable warranty to boot.
These aren't assemblers, they are factories, as in manufacturing facilities. These companies have been in business for a long time--37, 60, 20, and 35 years respectively. These companies (and others) have international reputations for quality craftsmanship and state of the art performance. This was formerly true of quite a few US industries, audio is one of the few survivors. ************************************************************************* ** List info, subscription management, list rules, archives, privacy ** ** policy, calmness, a member map, and more at http://www.cguys.org/ ** *************************************************************************
