Apparently your sig doens't apply to others. That was uncalled for.

As a footnote, I don't necessarily agree with BigWill. But I would put a country that doesn't inform its citizens or the world of epidemics occuring in one of its provinces in my top 20 list of bad countries.

is this turning out be the most ugliest thread ever.....this better END here......

its is a great forum and lets not soil all over it.....

This thread certainly did make a really bad turn somewhere. In general the amount of politically charged posts have been way up around here lately. Let's try to stick with audio.

Yes, please let's end it here.
It's not the kind of thread that will encourage newbies, like myself, to hang around this forum.

Greetings,
It is a simple fact of life in a market economy that labor plays a significant factor in the cost of conusmer durable goods. The Chinese economy offers western manaufacturers a labor pool that is unmantched in this hemisphere. I work for a consumer products manufacturer with extensive Chinese suppliers, and I can attest to the fact that the quality in China exceeds what we were able to achieve domestically. It's sad, but true...I'm sure the results in speaker manufacturing are the same as in my industry...the country of origin usually has no bearing on the quality of the product produced by a reputable manaufacturer. The key to the equation is "reputable manufacturer"...

My feathers are not easily ruffled, friend. I'll just add you to the long list of people who dislike me.
Without going to any great length, China is a country of great significance due to many factors. Rwanda, Sierra Leone, Myanmar, etc... are not significant to the rest of the world in any way other than, "Boy, wish we could help those people," or, "Boy, sure am glad I don't live there."
My earlier statement regarding China should not have been taken as an indictment of the storied Chinese culture or of the Chinese people. But, the gov't of China has that country on a course which should alarm all of us, regardless of your politics.
To say that China is the worst country on the planet hardly seems controversial to me - unless you want to argue for North Korea.

Why would you say that Big Will? Just because the enormous gulag prison system for dissenters, misfits, etc., is financed in large part by the sale of prisoners' organs? Oh, the fact they sell livers bothers you, because each of us has only one of those guys? Or maybe the fact that the gerontocracy supports the lunatic regime in North Korea? Oh, oh, maybe because Chinese officials threatened to drop a nuke on Los Angeles when Clinton sent the fleet into the waters between Taiwan and the mainland?

On the other hand, just about everything we buy is now from China. Almost all consumer electronic equipment including some very high end sound equipment comes from China. Clothing, china wear, kitchen utensiles, furniture, audio racks, lighting fixtures, knick knacks, it's all from China. The Chinese culture is brilliant, it has always had a certain problem accommodating the individual in any capacity other than mulch, and obviously their driver training program needs revision, but the hope is that the prosperity which follows the fact that China is now the world's production facility for making stuff, will drag the government into the light. Hope so, since their economy will the largest in the world in our lifetimes.

You didn't answer my question...read my post.
