It would be interesting to know if anybody is aware, at least for the purpose of this discussion, if any piece of A/V equipment made today, regardless of price and where it might be assembled, is NOT MADE with the innards manufactured in the Far East, primarily CHINA! I don't know of any.
The fact is this is nothing new in the world of consumer electronics. I have a Toshiba 65" RP CRT that was assembled in New Jersey but when I got a chance to look under the hood, I noticed ALL the circuit boards and related equipment said "MADE IN CHINA". That was in 2001! It is still working beautifully.
Emotiva is made in China and so is Behringer along with most others. Today, that is the price we pay for getting a "bigger bang for our buck".
