[QUOTE="John Roberts, post: 57578, member: 126"] Re: Mythbusting Mass market drivers have been made offshore for decades, with the occasional exceptions made here. While China was not that big in early offshore speaker manufacturing, I suspect they have a large share now. It wasn't always economic to ship the cabinets, so pretty common to make the boxes here and load the drivers from wherever into them. These days for high volume products I suspect they are completely assembled offshore. JR [edit= Last time I was in Hong Kong several years ago, visiting a small product development office, they had a bunch of high end hifi speakers they were working on for a British brand.. IIRC the western brand was owned by the Chinese parent company. /edit] [/QUOTE]
