. For amps, I've had good experiences with mtx so until either of these companies do me wrong, I don't care where its made.
Well thanks for the honesty..:DWhatsoever thy handfindeth to do, do it with thy might; for there is nor work, nor device, nor knowledge, nor wisdom, in the grave, whither thou goest. -

I agree that a solid performing, solid feeling, good value piece of equipment may override the 'must be made in the US' theory.
But there's still nothing that takes the place of knowing your stuff was made in the good ol' US of A.

What inspired my question is everything I buy is made else where. I do janitorial and even my vaccs are made in mexico, china so. I was wondering if others buy products like audio equipment if possible in the united states..later skip:DWhatsoever thy handfindeth to do, do it with thy might; for there is nor work, nor device, nor knowledge, nor wisdom, in the grave, whither thou goest. -

Yes it's good at the same time it hurts home. I'm not saying I only buy american It's impossible this day and age. The world is merging into ONE If america sinks are currency is now longer Leader. We no longer will be the SUPERPOWER CHINA will be us and CHINA will surpass us and we will be working for peanuts, like all the rest of third world countries. There is a price to buying goods from other countries you just have to look DEEPER than what politics rave about ...later skipWhatsoever thy handfindeth to do, do it with thy might; for there is nor work, nor device, nor knowledge, nor wisdom, in the grave, whither thou goest. -
Even the little bit that's made in the US is assembled here with foreign parts. Several amp lines have been accused of being made overseas, and doing the bare minimum here to slap a "Made in the US" label on it.
Zapco makes their mid and high lines (of amps) here, and JL makes lots of their speakers in the US. Rockford still makes some products in the US as well.
