I hate to poke a hole in your rant, but a lot of speaker manufacturing has moved offshore. Axiom builds its drivers and, I think, some of its amps, in China. Paradigm does a lot of its manufacturing in China...

The world just keeps changing. 120 years ago it was those damn Yanks and their cheap (and dodgy manufacturing practices) that bugged the Europeans so much.
