Krell S300i

I thought that this was a great deal until I found out that this thing is "Manufactured in China"

Here goes the High End exorbitant prices for Made in China at least if it was made in the US, Canada, Japan or Europe I could understand but made in a Country where labor cost is 1/10 of the US come on....

I am making it a strict policy to no longer make any big ticket purchases that are made in china. This is now a life long commitment.

I agree they still use slave labor as well as child labor Same with India, US companies in both of these country should mandate against that.

Again Ethics any one, of course not that is why we are in the mess we are in!!!!

I'm not sure if we can escape the Chinese empire -- how many of the transistors and circuit boards and transformers etc. etc. inside the products from even the very most expensive audio components are made in China? For example, how much of my Ayre C-5xe is really American made, how much of my Classe CA2200 is really made in Canada?

That is a very good point, it is assembled in Canada for now :B Many of the parts are imported and probably few from the US.

There should be a disclaimer on all products including electronics, that state the % of country of origin 8O

Did you know that many products have less that 1% part made in the USA but the manufacture can stamp a label MADE IN USA.
