    Interesting article on Wharfedale/Quad (IAG)

    I found this to be a bit interesting.

    Good article on Wes Phillips trip to the IAG factories in China. There's also a little link in the article to some photos he took while there.

    Just scroll down a little more than half way and you'll see it.

    It's titled : "Stereophilia" by Wes Phillips....... "China, My China"

    Let me know what you think of the article.

    Interesting article, It makes me sad though thinking of all the companies like that that are building in china, Huge production facilities that are more like cities. WHile our cities and small towns get in all a flutter when a new super walmart goes up, whoopie jobs? Too political I guess but it seems like greed is going to get the best of America.

      Well, that's a whole other issue.

      I have some opinions and feelings on that, but I'd like to keep this thread on topic and discuss the Audio side of the subject.

      We could always start up a more politically, socially and economically based discussion, in the "After Midnight" forum.

      Let me know if you want me too, and I'll start one up over there.

        Rotel RSX-1056 with Wharfedale front speakers
        by saltafevgas
        Hi all,

        I don't hear much about Rotel systems serving Wharfedale speakers. Recently I purchased RSX-1056 Surround Receiver (aswell as DVD player RDV-1060) and I'm very satisfied with the quality (of both).
        In a show-room I listened to Wharfedale Diamond 9.5 frontspeakers outperforming...

        Statements in the Twin Cities?

        Hello,

        I just migrated to this board from another in my search for a new design to build. I've previously built Joe D'Appolito's Audax system, and love them very much. But now I'd like to upgrade the cabinets to something nicer (especially now that I have more experience in woodworking),...

        Advice for HT 5.2 Setup, Sourcing Parts from China
        by hawkson
        Hi,
        I will be sourcing all of my parts from China. I am currently living in Shanghai and couldn't bring my commercial Axiom M60's + HSU sub to Shanghai without extremely high 20% import tax(600$ just to import my own equipment, talk about unfair trade) and 400$ shipping.

        My focus...

        Made in China
        by Don
        I recently auditioned the rmb 1075 (thinking of buying).
        The dealer told me that the components are made by Rotel in England but assembled only in China. Is this correct? :?:

        I have a few bad experiences with items that were made in China.

        Any info is appreciat...
